End of the program

The use -in- four - walls team renovated a room. For this, the family is visited, inspected the accommodation, the room in question was emptied and the apartment expert decides on the sequence of the work. Subsequently, the renovation and installation works are taking place.

The resident must previously expressed wishes and make suggestions, but ultimately determines the production, as the room is set up. During the reconstruction, the residents do not have access to the room.

In use in 4 walls - Special both individual rooms and the entire house will be remodeled and newly furnished. It is suggested that the residents live during construction work in an RV ( " Tinemobil "). In fact, the family is housed usually with friends or in a hotel since the motorhome offers very little space. There also have been cases where the renovation work lasted considerably longer than originally planned and had to accept a long Ausquartierungen families. The concept of special items was changed dramatically in the spring of 2009. So now are only the most severe cases, extending over two programs is shown. The prelude to this reformatting already took place in the summer of 2008, when a completely vermülltes house has been renovated from the ground up. In the program in the spring of 2009, inter alia, a completely dilapidated farm completely renovated and refurbished.

October 9, 2006, the daily broadcast was taken due to the low market share of less than 10 percent from the program of RTL. The special broadcast is not affected.

Criticism

Another criticism of the concept of the massive product placement, especially from IKEA. The viewer would be presented as alternatives editorially selected, as the best preferred brands.

Is also criticized the term " living expert ". A misleading term, since it is suggested that the presenter dealing mainly with the design and decoration of the object. In fact, however, it focuses on the moderating; the drafts of the new interiors come from an interior designer.
