Who is Ben Smith on Interior Design Masters 2026?

Ben Smith Biography – Ben Smith Wiki

Ben Smith is a garden designer and a contestant on Interior Design Masters 2026 on BBC One. Stourbridge-based Ben has a love of vintage treasures, a passion for upcycling and an unexpected admiration for the Royal family – portraits of Queen Elizabeth II and Queen Victoria proudly hang beside his bed.

Before turning to furniture design, Ben worked in hospitality and during lockdown he began restoring pieces found online. That passion soon grew into a desire to create full interiors that could house his upcycled furniture.

With portraits of Queen Elizabeth II and Queen Victoria proudly hanging beside his bed, Ben really is an old soul at heart. Ben said: “I don’t think people expect a 27-year-old who’s covered in tattoos to love the Royal family and be into upcycling antiques. I guess I’m an old soul.”
