Channel 9’s The Block 2018 continues to be on of Australia’s most popular Television shows. Which being a hit Reality TV show, it is also a very informational show about ways of improving your environment, your home or your office!
Each of the contestants are all very different and hand picked by Channel 9 to ensure that all demographics are portrayed: Gender, heritage, career, etc… They do all have one thing in common though; They all want to win the block and the only way to do that it to be different.
Over the last few seasons, we have seen different ways each of the contestants ensure that they showcased a room with “personality” in order to be judged “winners”.
Some of the highlights of the show that have transcended to the “home renovation sector” are wallpapers, self-adhesive graphics, screen printing, personalised splash backs and outdoor murals..
