Interior Design Masters winner on what spurred him on to victory
Interior Design Masters winner and Stockport teacher John Cooper has said reminding himself of the advice he gave his students got him through the most challenging parts of the competition. The design and technology teacher was named the winner of the BBC1 show's sixth series last week following his Mediterranean-inspired transformation of a cottage in Portmeirion, Wales. Speaking to BBC Radio Manchester, Cooper said he had to "take his own advice" during the most challenging parts of the experience, particularly the four times he was up for elimination or "on the couch". He said: "Each time it would have been so easy to put my hands up and think, I can't do this anymore." Cooper added: "In the back of my head I was thinking about the students and what I tell the students - don't give up, persevere, and all that sort of stuff."I thought, what is the best example I can be here?"He said he had to "keep quiet and go back to my normal life" after filming wrapped in September. Students at the school started tuning in in April when she show started to air. Cooper said: "I would get a grilling when I'd go in, like 'you've been on the sofa again' or 'tell us who the winner is'."I've been on half term, so I don't know how they're going to react when I see them." He said the show's host, comedian Alan Carr, helped him get through the tough times. "He's so, so funny 100% of the time," Cooper said. "When he rocks up and you're stressing… he comes along and he makes you smile and he makes you happy."After 19 years of teaching, Cooper said he would finish up at the end of the school year to pursue a full-time career in interior design."That's been the dream for all this time and it's actually becoming a reality now," he said.

Exclusive: Interior Design Masters winner reveals new John Lewis collection
For John Cooper, the winner of this year's series of the BBC1 show Interior Design Masters, creating a homeware collection to be sold in John Lewis was very much not his normal day job. It was also a first for John Lewis: its design team had not previously worked with a designer who was simultaneously juggling a full-time job as a secondary-school teacher. Cooper, 46, who lives in Stockport with his wife and their two children, aged 11 and nine, teaches design and technology at Wilmslow High School in Cheshire. He had been a fan of the show since its first series in 2019: 'I was one of those people who sat there at home and said 'Oh no, why are you doing that?'' he says. One year my wife said, 'Why don't you just apply for it, if you think you can do better?'' He did, and the first time around he didn't make it onto the show; so he tried again, and this time made it into the final 10. The filming schedule was intense, with a challenge being filmed each weekend over an eight-week period, in a different location each time – ranging from a room in a youth hostel in the Lake District to a dog-friendly room at Battersea Dogs Home and a hospitality suite at Twickenham. The contestants would complete a challenge, then immediately be given the brief for the next one, and Cooper would spend the week coming up with a design and sourcing furnishings. 'I was working during the prep weeks,' he says, 'so I'd get home, start shopping and designing, put the kids to bed, then carry on designing and shopping. It was very fast, very intense'. The guest judges, who included Sophie Robinson and Mary Portas, gave advice which was invaluable for a designer starting out, as was the advice of head judge Michelle Ogundehin. 'They were all so kind,' says Cooper. 'On the very first challenge, Lawrence Llewellyn-Bowen came and gave us all individual feedback, and it was so thoughtful and considered. He said, 'I know we've seen lots of spaces that have a lot going on, but don't feel like you have to do that; it's enough to produce a really good-quality finish sometimes, and it can be a little more simple and understated.'' It was a somewhat unexpected nugget of advice, given Llewellyn-Bowen's own flamboyant style, but one that Cooper has brought to bear in his collection for John Lewis, which is executed in a palette of black, white and toffee brown that gives it a modern, youthful look, and something quite different from the brand's usual offering. The collection of 21 products includes furniture, bedding, towels, cushions, throws and lighting. Several existing John Lewis pieces have been reimagined in Cooper's style, which he describes as 'graphic bohemia', and mixes a pared-back palette with a variety of tactile textures. The Blocky chair – a customer favourite – has been upholstered in a nubby fabric with chunky, black-and-white stripes; the Elliott angled desk lamp has been recast in a smart three-tone combo of black, white and toffee; and the popular Mushroom portable lamp comes with a black base and a white shade. Others are entirely new designs that Cooper created with the help of the John Lewis team, such as an extra-large monochrome cotton quilt with toffee-coloured stitching, a geometric throw, several cushions and a set of two framed pieces of graphic 3D-effect wall art in black, off-white and beige. There's also a set of towels and bath mats in a dark palette of black and brown. The throws and cushions were the trickiest products to get right, says Cooper, and they went through several iterations and redesigns until he and the John Lewis team were happy with the finished product. 'I was obsessing over the details; I really wanted to get it right,' he says. His education in creating a collection included learning how to design a piece that could be produced quickly, using techniques such as embroidery and appliqué that could be done in the UK and Europe, rather than further afield. 'I've taught my students about lead times, but I've never had to deal with that myself,' he says. 'I think it's a really good thing for the students to see a teacher actually doing the thing that they teach.' Creating the two scented candles was also a learning experience: 'I had to be trained in how to smell things properly, which was really exciting.' As for what comes next, Cooper plans to throw himself into his design career full-time. 'I've taught for around 20 years, so this has been a little bit of self expression for me, and it's just ticked all the boxes,' he says. 'I've loved every minute of it.' Available online at John Lewis from Friday, May 30. Prices start from £8 for a tote bag, and go up to £499 for the armchair.
