Home improvement shows are an invaluable source of inspiration and motivation when it comes to DIY projects of all kinds - whether that means farmhouse-fresh ideas from Joanna Gaines' queen of shiplap, decluttering advice from Marie Kondo or watching homeowners rebuild after fire or flood damage in their own homes - home renovation shows provide everything from classics like Flip or Flop on HGTV and Netflix series like House Hunters to newer series on streaming services such as Hulu offer something for everyone.
Trading Spaces, one of the most creative and entertaining home improvement shows ever, features two sets of neighbors who switch rooms in each other's homes. Originally running from 2000-2008, designers only have 48 hours to transform each space - often producing surprising and humorous results! However, its legacy endures today: interior designer Paige Wemlinger told Insider she finds Trading Spaces both enjoyable and different to watch.
Fixer Upper has become one of the most beloved HGTV series ever, making Chip and Joanna Gaines household names and setting the trend for their modern farmhouse aesthetic that has since become so admired. Chip and Joanna take seemingly uninhabitable homes and transform them into works of art that take viewers' breath away.
Leanne and Steve Ford of Renovate This Don't Relocate are another brother-sister duo who take pride in renovating quirky houses with humor. This incredibly popular show follows Leanne and Steve as they transform houses that seem stuck in time into sustainable residences that stand the test of time.
