Over the years, Home Centre, claimed as the largest home retailer in the Middle East, has transformed the personal living spaces of several deserving customers with its popular Room Makeover competition.

In its fourth edition in 2016, the Room Makeover competition is stated to have successfully transformed the homes of 15 people across the region and infused new energy into their lives.

Winners were identified from six countries in the region - Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Lebanon — based on their unique stories of why they believed their rooms needed a makeover.

Home Centre received nearly 60,000 entries and worked to shortlist a final 14 while carefully factoring in the personality traits of the contestants. The 15th winner was picked via an online voting system created on Home Centre’s Facebook page.

Mederic Payne, CEO, Home Centre, said: “The unprecedented response to this year’s Room Makeover Contest is a testament to the close relationship we share with our customers. The contest reiterates our keenness to give back to the community through this all-inclusive initiative.”

An aggregate amount of AED15,000 was used to reinvent the living spaces of four winners each in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, as well as of two winners each in Oman, Qatar and Kuwait, and one winner in Lebanon.

Home Centre’s stylists ensured that every winner’s room was transformed as per their personal preferences and needs to reflect their distinctive personalities.

Nancy Ajram, Arabic singer, diva and Home Centre’s brand ambassador, said: “This is a great exercise that Home Centre conducts as it makes a real difference to the lives of customers. After seeing the results of this year’s room makeover I would like to commend Home Centre stylists for such enormous efforts.”
