Plot Synopsis

DIVIDED BY DESIGN is a one-hour reality series that follows married interior designers Ray and Eilyn Jimenez, who run dueling design firms and bid against each other for clients in the Miami housing market. Ray, who favors a modern eclectic approach, and Eilyn, who blends old-world influences with a timeless functional vibe, aim to wow potential clients with their distinct design aesthetics -- knowing that only one of them will close the deal and get a chance to deliver the remarkable transformation that every client wants. Each episode follow the winning designer's process from beginning to end, resulting in stunning reveals encapsulating Miami style and flare. Alongside the primary design story, the duo also check in on a high-end project, including the full gut renovation of their own home -- which has taken far longer than originally planned.

DIVIDED BY DESIGN premiered on Tuesday, August 20, 2024 at 9pm ET/PT on HGTV after originally being scheduled to debut on Monday, June 10, 2024 at 10pm ET/PT. In the series premiere, "Designer Knows Best," Ray and Eilyn vie for a $150,000 renovation project to overhaul an entryway, kitchen, child's bedroom and combo living and dining area. Homeowner David is both the client and the contractor, yet his dark masculine style conflicts with his wife Bella's bright tropical vibe. The chosen designer will help the couple balance their contradictory wishes by combining rich wood tones with light and airy furniture pieces to create a spectacular space that the family will love.
