They need to sack the designer. This poor guy sold his possessions to pay for poor taste!

The more episodes I watch, the more I get the feeling that the designer was an unemployed niece of the producer who wanted to do his nagging aunt a favor.

What was the point in the designer lady asking the man what he wanted the rooms to look like? She just went with her own ideas. I'd rather keep the money and re style the rooms myself.

Oh my goodness. "The speakers have been a bone of contention between me and Ray".... Listen to the man! He has a passion for electronics. Give him his 1970s room with large speakers, vinyl deck and place to display his records! Ask him him favourite bands and get some related artwork. Choose a colour scheme to fit that decade. A lovely armchair to listen to them in. Display some of the phones, with their array of colours, on a wall-mounted display, and some of the cameras similarly in another room - as beautiful collections! They stripped this man of all his personality and gave him bland magazine-style rooms, including garish wallpaper. :( That room is so so oppressing.

I wouldn't let this "designer" near my dwelling. It's dark and depressing and she does what SHE wants to do, not what the client wants. She takes spaces that are already small and makes them look even smaller with dark walls, etc. Claustrophobic 🤢

FIRE THE DESIGNER. Stop using such dark colours, especially on the ceiling, it is misrable. It will make anyone depressed after a while.

The 'professionals' turned out to be arrogant and patronising. Don't let this obnoxious duo into your home, please.

The designer is awful 😵

I absolutely despise this designer's "work" UGH!

The decorator doesn't listen to ANY of Ray's desires but only goes with her own.

Selling to a resale shop isn’t going to get the value on the cameras. But the fact they want $$ quickly to “give” to the designer is a hinderance. She’s over priced to say the least.

So she decided to turn his home into a depressed chocolate bar. Well done.

I was surprised when the narrator said the wallpaper isn't cheap, because that's 100% how it looks. I hope Ray held back at least some good equipment he can use or display and didn't sell it all for that gloomy re-do.

Those black walls are dark and depressing. The red is an angry colour... As always this designer has done what SHE Wants... She is a terrible person!

Quick question: some of these people having gorgeous things. Why not use some of their prized possessions displayed instead of having a designer changing their homes?

That designer should consider changing careers.

Give them a places they adore because then there won't be any inclination to fill them with stuff? How can she be on this show and be so confidently, utterly incorrect about how hoarding disorder works?

Looks horrible, how can she even be called an expert? They robed that poor man and left him with cheap sticker on The Wall, looked cheap, dark and cold. What a massiv disapointement after all of his sacrifices and his progress! Please change those expert dont put them on The next episode. I dont want to see them rob any other person please.

I feel so sorry for these people the pay good money from selling their valuable items to the designer and she completely ruins their home not listening to their taste so they hate it and probably have to spend more re doing it!

I wouldn’t let her near my place either. Have been watching other episodes that this designer has done and they are all hideous.

The decorator MUST be kicked out of this project. Her level of expertise is below zero!

The design is .... The wallpaper imitating leather and wood and other stuff actually looks cheap. Gentleman's style looks good on if it actually is expencive. And dark walls are not for small apartments, cause it narrows the space.

gosh, that designer is shockingly terrible.

I can’t believe they got rid of the speakers they treated him tm like a child

Poor Ray. He liked the original wallpaper in his bedroom and told her so. A minute later we see her choosing the wallpaper that she wants and talking about the pressure of getting enough money to do what she wants by selling his possessions. Anything would be better than the hoard of items collected yet she did not listen to him. An incredible opportunity to change his life, I'm sure he is grateful for such immense help. I wonder how he truly feels, if he is comfortable in his place now with that interior design.

The front room looks so dark and depressing.

Red sofas, black walls, blue garden furniture! Uggghhh

👉👉👉 the only thing i dont like in this documentaries is they have the worse interior designer 🥴😬🤭

I hate the design. The woman did not listen to anything Ray said about the 70's and only did what she wanted.

Honestly this end result is hideous. Like it’s such poor taste, anyone could look at what this man had the actual things like the cameras, old tech the music collections etc is the man’s taste so to sell everything and not use that as a designing point for the man’s home is beyond a joke. What the heck poor dude has to pretend to like something that has absolutely nothing of his possession or likes within it. The living room would have been nice to have a wall featuring all those cameras and then maybe the rest of the walls being cream or white to balance the dark wall with a display, or something. The room could have had record collections on a featured wall with old newspapers and tracks or something. I dunno but certainly not this bad bad old outdated hideous design. Should have sat down with him and looked at everything he had that was collected over the years that was actual collectibles and used that with him to come up with a proper design to his likes. I’d see him even having old news papers with old fashioned things in it phones etc with his phones as a feature wall possibly or the cameras as said even just having the phones at one side and then the cameras or so. It’s just this design the ending is not this man at all.

This is the way to do it. See it all together. Just because it is worth something doesn't mean people will get it sold. Her giving him a lavender and red room is odd. Looks like she bought some thrift stuff.

Oh no no those two again. Abigail does not listen.

The woman who did the interior design has been an expert on a BBC show with Alan Carr an interior design show with experts picking over up and coming interior designers rooms. This poor guys rooms were horrendous..in fact shocking. I know this show is a fair few years old..but the red bed cover needed to be binned.

The ugliest wall paper i’ve seen since... leaving my rental that had the same as she put in the bed room. Ray said he liked the old one. Vintage. Keep it and design around it if you’re a real designer.

It's so unreal to me how most of these people can even afford to buy all this stuff!

Dark depressing colours

I guess having been a hoarder and been contained in a cramp space, the pint should be light and airy. To have only one focal wall is good but not too much dark as it will make them so depress again. Please listen to them (designer). This is not your place, it’s their own life to live. In short give them the much needed clean, airy and cool to the eyes.

In general I like British tv shows about hoarders, but Gosh, this one is horrible. They don't listen to the person, the designer does what she wants without paying attention to the personality of the person living in the house.

He will start hoarding again straight away, to hide that ridiculous living room!

She turned a small flAt into a even smaller space, dark and depressing. Poor ray she did him dirty on this 😮

He raised $2000. so she can implement her hideous design ideas!!

My grandmother god rest her soul she was the same way she had the bed across in front of the door you go across the bed an one trail from there to the kitchen an one trail to the bathroom the rest was from the floor to the ceiling when she passed it took us two months to clean her house out to be sold 90 percent of the items was brand new still in the package never opened she just had to have it but she was born in 1935 got married at 14 years old never had nothing she had 13 kids an when she could buy something she did but god knows i miss an love her very much still

He Will probably go back to hoarding just to hide what the "designer" did ..🤣 the colours or patterns she picks are always too dark for the tiny rooms she decorates and she doesn' t care what the people prefer or desire

Designers wallpaper in the bedroom and painted ceiling are abhorrent.

This designer's taste is awful and she is very disrespectful of her clients wants and tastes!! I wouldnt let her NEAR my house!!!

I hope the hoarders get proper professional support for their mental health condition. Simply flogging off/binning their stuff and redecorating won't cure their problems in the long-term.

The designer is blind.

Awful designer.

Every other old timer hoarder in the are bought all his stuff to take it back to their own hoard.

I think the designer’s intention was okay, but the walls in the bedroom were too much! I hope he & his female friend got together to redecorate. Maybe they got together for real? I hope so 💛

That designer had a hoarding problem in her own house!

Did he say he wanted a gentlemans club? No. Eta her own house seems to have antique furniture given the chalk paint treatment 😄😄😄😄

This Interieur Designer loves yellow + she always knows how to make a space look small as possible.

Paneled printed wall paper???

Dark and dismal, they could have cheered the place up. Looks like a krays meeting place

I like the bedroom, but not the living room. It's too dark. And I don't see why she couldn't have incorporated the larger speakers that Ray loved. It's his home, after all! Oh well, perhaps he has them stashed somewhere ready to bring back in. 😆😆

Wouldn't an interior designer normally have some pictures or a sketch of what they have in mind? I have no idea what I think of "gentlemen club" as a concept - show me some visuals!

I kind of feel bad because he’s never slept in the bed for a while or even went out in the balcony for a while but he does have a lot of stuff that is pretty cool

The bedroom is ok but the rest is horrific

Power deal, or what? Morse code box.....30, no 31$ Lol! A dollar more. Between my childrens old toys and my retro toy (interest) hoarde, and other retro stuff......I had other collections. I started getting rid of, it was like dominos. Realizing city apartments flooring, counters ect do not match and between wanting to never have any authorities taking my children, I got rid of a lot! Once you let a certain catagory go, everything else follows! It is freeing! It is true also that collections lose their thrill after awhile! Now, if I see something, I look at it, admire it, then leave! Sometime I play a trick by pushing it back, hiding it saying I will come back. I always end up forgetting about it! I could have been a huge hoarder if I had my own house and no children! Boy, I am glad My mind set is corrected! Before children, and even when I was young, I was naturally a minimalist. Even now I am. I just went through a stage! Hey, it was called Marriage with a man who was abusive! Now, divorced ect.....Trauma does make one hoard! I talk too much, out of excitement that I have a community I can relate to! Where I live, my circle have no interest in this subject.

Couldn't continue to watch this pair ignoring Ray's personal choices for their show agenda. Ok I came back to see 🙈🙉 Oh heck no that woman that wallpaper, no . I wonder what her home looks like?

Man Depression is real & separation anxiety is real it doesn't always have to be separation from another person, it can also be separation from materialistic items

I would have added a larger sofa to give more space for people. More chairs at the dinning table. The balcony spa e good have been used better. A cushioned sitting area which can open up for storage too. Something cozier outside

Wait,,thought this guys FULL flat was FULL of stuff?! BUT they’ve sold it ALL and done up 2 rooms!! What abt his kitchen,bathroom and hallway rooms?? Are they just left with no new decor? Painting or sprucing up!? How’s that fair on the guy,who “just wants to live a normal life” 😳😳

that decor gave me nightmares, ew

What a god Awful bedroom where did she get any of her design credentials from? Good grief the 1940s called.

I say why not just paint, give him a few new pieces of furniture and let him keep his bloody money for letting him share his life with us. (Good grief. I said "bloody money' and I live in the States!!!)

It looks cheap

Why is this show ruined by the so-called "designer"? She's destroying these people's own living spaces and not doing it their way. She's designing spaces for OTHER people, not herself. It's like she's inserting herself into everything, while the people who have to go live in the spaces are stuck with her even after she's gone. The show is a wonderful concept, but the designer should be doing it all their way, whether it looks good or not. The show should be more psychologically-focused on getting people to escape from their hoarding, not on trying to get them to make a huge growth spurt psychologically and also having to go live in a space they don't like. What kind of nonsense with this useless woman...

Only half way through but I would have gone way over to the 70's era. Doing something funky with the phones and cameras. Since he doesn't want to use them, then put them in the design! I think he'd rather have a disco ball than a gentlemen's room! Ugh, I hope at some point she either listens to him or he takes over the design when she leaves, along with his lady friend to add the feminine touches (quite literally I hope!).

I would have kept a few of the retro phones. I have two and the ringer is loud enough to wake the dead - LOL.

The result of the living room is equally depressing as before the makeover, but in a different way. I didn't think that was possible.

what do they do with all the stuff that didnt sell???? Im assuming charity shops and the dump????

He's got Canons and Prakticas, he's a man of great taste.

all this is lovely but useless if they dont get professional help mentally to stop them hoarding again

That wallpaper is going to make the hoarding worse!! I'd want to cover those walls to get away from them!

The tin food cans for vases though 😑

I am before the redesign and what already (and again) rubs me the wrong way is: tge designer asks Ray what he enjoys, he tells her and she presses her ideas over his and does something else entirely. She coukd have gone with a cosy technical 70s style for his living room and he wanted something for his feminine side in his bedroom, which she totally ignored. 😒 That is terrible

19:59 Rays signature I love my hoard face

Removal Men... where do I get some?

To the designer i will give you an idea that looks awesome but is cheap buy rolles of brown hand paper towels an clear coat or varnish tear the paper into different sizes an put a coat on the wall stick the paper to the wall in all kinds of shapes an designs then spray the outside when dried up it looks awesome try a small piece of plywood look at it an see what you think before you do a whole room but i think it looks dam good

The positive side is the hoard is gone and he has somewhere he can sleep in a proper bed. But ...Where is the wardrobe in the bedroom? We all need something to store clothes. Even for a minimalist. The colours in the living room dark. The curtains not hemmed 😱

Ray new passion is buying items to sell them

He likes vintage things. I would do Midcentury modern. Gentleman’s office, mad men type glam.

Ray is such a lovely man, but OMG the designer should be sacked

oh woweee!, a brilliant video!, thank you 😃

Ray: I have a feminine side and I like 70s club vibes. Abby: So gentleman's club? Got it.

I love the nature look on some those sample rooms

She didn’t listen to any of his ideas she kept saying different things while he was very attached to his speakers

What a clueless designer! Doesn't she realise that dark walls make a small room look even smaller!

I would’ve have given him more for the Leicas!

Older people needed much clean slate rather than too harsh colors.

He told her he likes femine when she mentioned the existing pink walllpaper, so she gives him black, brown, gray, gentleman's club. SHEESH! 🤦‍♀️

I hope he's very happy now. Living room.a bit dark but I think he appreciates it. I hope he can keep it maintained.

This is definitely not one of my favorite shows. Storage Hoarders for the win!! Hope Ray is doing ok.

I can't watch these shows anymore. There is so much disrespect towards people. The designer doesn't listen to what they want and most of her finishes would send me screaming from the room.

I.get it u have so !little growing up I bought things I could not get back then I hoarded now

My idea is a new type of storage facility that caters to people who enjoy collecting … each storage space would have shelving and closed off spaces to hide valuables with locks ect … spread out and photographed so these collections can be insured also. The owner would have more space to sell off little by little and add other valuable finds. When valuables are stored in a way with easy access and visibility the owner of this unique storage unit has his valuable collectible hobby ongoing instead of selling it off at one go for a small amt 2000.00 spent on wallpaper and paint. You can not replace the time and enjoyment these items do bring to many people. People need to keep their dwelling separate from their valuables. I think my idea may work for someone looking to start a unique business.

I think we can assume,with such a small budget,that the other rooms are either just stripped or full to the brim.

That designer is like a bad 90s changing rooms episode. Every time 🙈
