For homebodies or anyone who values their space, watching home improvement shows can be both fulfilling and therapeutic. Apart from the secondhand gratification, seeing projects come to life can inspire us to finally get working on our own spaces as well! After all, what better way to get started than by taking tips from the pros? Thankfully, Netflix has a wide array of shows aimed at giving us just the design inspo we need.
Here are eight home improvement and design shows you can stream now on Netflix.
1. Get Organized with the Home Edit
This series is perfect for those who want to watch cleaning gurus work their magic! It’s hosted by two best friends and professional organizers Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin, who seek to drastically declutter and change the lives of their clients! With their vast clientele, we also see some celebrities get the "Home Edit touch," including Reese Witherspoon, Khloe Kardashian, and Neil Patrick Harris. Known for their rainbow organization style where they categorize based on color, they not only arrange items conveniently but aesthetically too.
2. Dream Home Makeover
If you’re an interior design enthusiast, Dream Home Makeover is the binge-worthy series for you! Currently on its second season, Studio McGee, owned by couple Shea and Syd McGee, transform homes based on the homeowner’s personal taste. They conquer a variety of spaces from bathrooms, and movie rooms, to entire houses. As they work on their projects, get ready for some anecdotes about their family and how they built their successful business from the ground up!
3. Tidying Up with Marie Kondo
Tidying Up with Marie Kondo pioneered an organization style that swept the globe! Marie Kondo introduced the KonMari Method, a technique that concentrates on individual categories instead of rooms in the house. Her tidying revolution inspired homeowners to not only organize for aesthetic purposes, but to do so for their own joy and peace of mind. Aside from this series being a Primetime Emmy and TCA Award nominee, Marie also has a New York Times bestselling novel called The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.
4. Stay Here
Real estate is a long-term investment, and Stay Here shows how you can transform simple rental spaces into lucrative sought after places so you can get your money’s worth! Designer Genevieve Gorder and real estate professional Peter Lorimer display their expertise as they improve their clients’ property and create experiences guests will want to pay for.
