You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 75.101.128.0/17 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:39, 2 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Changing Rooms''''' is a [[DIY|do-it-yourself]] home improvement show broadcast in the [[United Kingdom]] on the [[BBC]] between 1996 and 2004. The series was revived on [[Channel 4]] in 2021.<ref>((cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/shortcuts/2014/nov/24/laurence-llewelyn-bowen-magical-journey-changing-rooms-stars|title=What happened to all the Changing Rooms stars?|last=Samadder|first=Rhik|date=24 November 2014|work=[[The Guardian]]|accessdate=18 April 2017))</ref>

The show was one of a number of home improvement and lifestyle shows popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The show was later franchised, generally under the same name, for the local TV markets in the [[United States]], [[New Zealand]] and [[Australia]].

==Format==
The premise of the show was for couples to swap houses with friends or neighbours with each pair decorating one room in each other's homes. This leads up to a finale with both couples seeing their rooms, and meeting up again – almost invariably on still friendly terms. With the show including some top designers,<ref>((Cite web |last=Williams |first=Kathryn |date=2021-08-18 |title=The designers on the new Changing Room revival |url=https://www.walesonline.co.uk/lifestyle/tv/changing-room-designers-21337621 |access-date=2022-04-08 |website=WalesOnline |language=en))</ref> their ideas could be a little over the top, which led to a few tears and tantrums.

==History==
The show began on [[BBC Two]], at 9pm on 4 September 1996, before transferring to [[BBC One]] for the start of the third series in 1998. The final edition was broadcast on 22 November 2004 after a successful 8-year, 17 series run. The cancellation was announced on 27 August 2004.

''Changing Rooms'' was originally hosted by [[Carol Smillie]], and assisting with the remodelling was a [[Cockney]] [[carpenter]], [[Andy Kane|"Handy" Andy Kane]]. The former designer on the show, [[Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen]], took over presenting the show from Smillie in 2003 for series 14 and 15. "Handy" Andy went on to host his own DIY shows.

In November 2004, a special episode was taped in [[Boscastle]], [[Cornwall]], for Christmas broadcast. Designers [[Anna Ryder Richardson]], Graham Wynne and Gordon Whistance took on the task of restoring the decor of homes and businesses damaged in the floods of August that year. The episode was broadcast on 28 December 2004.

In October 2020, [[Channel 4]] announced that it would be reviving the show, with Llewelyn-Bowen returning as presenter alongside [[Davina McCall]].<ref>((Cite web|last=West|first=Amy|date=2020-10-09|title=Big Brother's Davina McCall joins reboot of Changing Rooms|url=https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/reality-tv/a34321362/big-brother-davina-mccall-presenting-changing-rooms-reboot/|access-date=2020-10-09|website=Digital Spy|language=en-GB))</ref> On 22 March 2021, it was confirmed that McCall would not present the revived series due to scheduling conflicts and the delayed filming of the show as a result of coronavirus restrictions.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/entertainment/changing-rooms-davina-mccall-pulls-out/|title=Davina McCall pulls out of Changing Rooms reboot|website=Radio Times|date=22 March 2021|access-date=8 April 2021))</ref> On 5 May 2021, [[Anna Richardson]] was confirmed as McCall's replacement.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/entertainment/changing-rooms-anna-richardson-newsupdate/|title=Anna Richardson confirmed to host Changing Rooms reboot|website=Radio Times|date=5 May 2021))</ref>

==Designers==
The designers on the original version during its run included:

*[[Linda Barker]]
*[[Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen]]
*[[Anna Ryder Richardson]]
((Div col end))

==International versions==
The show has been franchised and variations of it appear in several other countries, sometimes with a different name – such as ''[[Trading Spaces]]'' in United States. The original ''Changing Rooms'' is also broadcast overseas, for example, on [[BBC America]] and featured in various US shows, the ''[[Sex and the City]]'' episode "[[List of Sex and the City episodes#Season 6: June 2003 – February 2004|Lights, Camera, Relationship]]" being one example.

A [[New Zealand]] edition of the show was produced for several years, also called ''Changing Rooms''. It was identically formatted to the British series, with host Kerry Smith, "Handy" Andy Dye, and regular designers including Donald Grant Sunderland, Neil McLachlan and [[Sally Ridge]]. A handful of international shows were produced, each featuring one couple in New Zealand and one in the United Kingdom.

Australia's [[Nine Network]] also produced a local version of ''[[Changing Rooms (Australian TV series)|Changing Rooms]]'' from 1998 to 2005, hosted by [[Suzie Wilks]] who was assisted by [[Peter Everett]], James Lindsay, Catherine Morton and Tim Janenko-Panaeff. The show is being revived by [[Network Ten]] in 2019.

In the Netherlands a Dutch version – In Holland staat een huis – was broadcast by RTL4 from 1998 to 2006, hosted by Martijn Krabbé. In 2022 it will be revived on SBS6.
