12 of the Best Interior Design Shows

Get Organized with The Home Edit

Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin are obsessed with organization, so they’ve made it their whole business, traveling around the country helping people — from celebrity clients like Reese Witherspoon and Winnie Harlow to everyday homeowners — get organized. Their philosophy? It’s all about form plus function. (With a whole lot of Instagrammable color coordination, too.) Whether they’re organizing a child’s bedroom or Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger’s garage, everything gets a system. They also have a whole Home Edit product line, which you can buy yourself if you’re craving a Home Edit–style interior design makeover of your own. You’ll never look at Tupperware the same.

Queer Eye

This feel-good series is all about empowering individuals through the power of good old-fashioned makeovers. Karamo Brown, Jonathan Van Ness, Tan France and Antoni Porowski are responsible for culture, grooming, fashion and food, while Bobby Berk takes the interior design helm. Over the course of one week, Bobby and his team transform individuals’ homes into refreshed, inspiring living spaces that align with and reflect their newfound self-confidence. The Fab Five’s holistic approach to the makeover elicits genuinely emotional moments and beautiful transformations both external and internal. And Bobby definitely has the hardest job of all — he has to transform an entire home! If you’re wondering why he has less screen time, it’s because he’s pretty much a permanent fixture at IKEA.

Dream Home Makeover

Husband and wife duo Shea and Syd McGee of Studio McGee run a successful interior design business helping real families across the country make their design dreams come true — no matter their budgets. As Shea says in the series: “Whether our clients have $2 million or $20,000, I want them all to feel that sense of peace when they walk in the door.” The McGees know exactly how to tailor their makeovers to any client’s style, and the final reveals are often straight-up emotional. The jaw-dropping transformations will definitely have you browsing the duo’s website and Instagram for inspo — and maybe even Zillow for properties in Salt Lake City. 

Tidying Up with Marie Kondo

In this series, world-renowned author and organization icon Marie Kondo goes on a tidying tour of America — and no mess is too big for Kondo’s foolproof KonMari method. With her signature philosophy of keeping items that spark joy and parting ways with everything else, Kondo inspires households across the country to let go of what no longer serves them and to find renewed inspiration in what does. Tidying Up grapples with the often difficult emotions that come with letting go of material belongings, and invites people to embrace new beginnings. Get ready to feel the joy sparking.

Interior Design Masters

This British reality series follows 10 aspiring interior designers competing for the chance to win a career-defining design contract. In the first season, the competitors battled it out for the chance to design the bar of a prominent London hotel. The competitors come from all walks of life and experience levels and face off in high-pressure, real-world challenges where they must design everything from family homes to hair salons. Originally hosted by Fearne Cotton and now fronted by comedian Alan Carr, this competition series features some serious talent and proves that you don’t have to be a professional to have an eye for design.

Motel Makeover

Best friends and business partners April Brown and Sarah Sklash are “moteliers” who travel the country renovating motels and transforming them into charming getaways. First, they tackled The June Motel in Prince Edward County, Ontario, and now this series chronicles their work renovating a motel in Sauble Beach. With a budget of just $600,000 and a goal of opening the property in five months, will they successfully “Junify” this rundown motel and convert it into a boho-chic, Instagram-worthy destination? With just $10,000 per room, the results are far from your typical Motel 6.

Amazing Interiors

Amazing Interiors takes us on a tour of some of the world’s most eccentric homes and the delights that lie within them. From backyard roller coasters and aquariums to cellar museums and indoor waterfalls, this series makes it clear that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to designing a home. These creative and imaginative homeowners show the limitless possibilities of living spaces and that a whole lot can be built between four walls and a roof — even a circus. 

Instant Hotel

In this Australian reality series, homeowners who’ve transformed their homes into instant hotels compete for the title of best hotel owner. They all stay at each others’ properties and score them on four categories: the house, nearby attractions, value for the money and quality of a night’s sleep. The hotels will make you want to book a room immediately — and fortunately you can! From houseboat to beach bungalow, this series has a hotel for every personality.

How To Build a Sex Room

This series features couples looking to spice up their homes with rooms dedicated to doing the deed. Interior designer Melanie Rose, the self-proclaimed “Mary Poppins of sex rooms,” encourages these couples to lean into their preferences and push their limits, tailoring their sex rooms exactly to the kinks, fetishes and fantasies of their choosing. From basement dungeons to Vegas-themed suites, these rooms run the gamut and make for a fun, fiery type of interior design show. It might just be the perfect background viewing for your weekend Netflix and chill.

Instant Dream Home

In this series hosted by Orange Is the New Black’s Danielle Brooks, a crew of renovators have just 12 hours to make over entire homes from start to finish. It’s not not chaotic, but the tight deadline just adds to the fun — and makes the beautiful finished products all the more spectacular. Nominated by friends and family, these deserving homeowners get the living quarters of their dreams with everything from new yards and art studios to more space and bedrooms to accommodate their growing lives and families. Dreamy indeed.

Stay Here

Interior designer Genevieve Gorder and real estate expert Peter Lorimer are on a mission to transform America’s short-term rentals into five-star getaways that turn big profits. The pair travel from coast to coast helping vacation rental owners make over their properties with chic new interiors and improved business and marketing tactics to reveal one-of-a-kind, in-demand getaways. From run-down houseboats to outdated desert properties, Gorder and Lorimer know how to tap into the unique potential of every rental they encounter and turn any space into the next great destination. But be warned, after watching this series, you might want to take up property management as a side hustle yourself.

Eilyn is the founder of Sire Design and Ray is the founder of Raymond Nicolas. Paired, Eilyn’s minimalist aesthetic and Ray’s maximalist approach create some truly gorgeous spaces.
