When it’s time to renovate your home, it can be overwhelming thinking about all of the possibilities. That dream kitchen or bathroom that real estate agents will rave about won’t just magically appear like it might in some home improvement shows. What’s great about these shows is that they can help you build up the motivation you need to get started on your own renovation project. To be entertained and inspired at the same time, check out these three shows. You’ll even learn ways to get creative by saving time and money.
This Old House
If you want to start with a classic reality TV renovation show, then This Old House is the place to begin. One the air since 1979, it was one of the first-ever house renovation shows and the series even won an Emmy for its format following the renovation of a single home over several episodes. It was originally focused on transforming older homes with DIY projects along with professionals, like the show’s previous host, designer-builder, and remodeling expert Bob Vila.
The current cast of the show includes a professional in nearly every category of home improvements like a master carpenter, general contractor, mason, painter, and home technology expert. If you want to learn about everything that is involved in renovating a house and tips about how to do it right — like the importance of restoring period details and how to use paint to make a difference — this is the show for you.
Property Brothers
You’ll see how you can turn an ordinary home into your dream home on an abbreviated timeline and budget, with the Scott brothers. Drew is a real estate expert who scouts neglected houses and negotiates their purchases, while Jonathan is a licensed contractor who renovates houses. Together, they help families find, buy, and transform "fixer-uppers" into dream homes. They are also all about using humor to teach important home renovation lessons like how to create a timeless style that home buyers will love, and how to bring out your home’s character.
Fixer Upper
Get ready to be amazed and get the motivation to work on your own home with the husband and wife team Chip and Joanna Gaines. If you are thinking about a modern farmhouse design for your home, then this show will give you great ideas to get started. Their aim is to transform the worst homes in a neighborhood — working in their hometown Waco, Texas — into the nicest ones on the block with stellar curb appeal too. If you aren’t sure where to begin with your own renovation, you’ll learn lessons like why you should focus on the kitchen first, how to create open space, and why you should give the modern farmhouse style a try.
If you aren’t quite ready to take the big plunge to start your home improvement project but are ready to start thinking about it seriously, then these shows are a good place to start from the comfort of your couch.
