The best interior design TV shows to binge…
Dream Home Makeover
If you’ve long been a lover of Pinterest, you’ll probably be familiar with Studio McGee, the interior design house whose work is some of the most shared on social platforms.
Like all good things that end up trending, Netflix were keen to ride off these coattails of this one, and snapped them up for a makeover series.
The six-episode series follows Studio McGee founders – and husband-and-wife team – Shea and Syd, as they turn home dreams into a reality for several families.
It’s an interior tips-filled, tearjerking bingeathon for design lovers.
Abstract: The Art of Design
This one is more of a one-episode watch than a full-series binge, but it’s a fascinating deep-dive into the minds of world-renowned creators across different design disciplines – from graphics and car design to architecture.
Season 1, episode 8 profiles Ilse Crawford, the visionary founder of Studioilse. The episode explores Crawford’s core philosophy: that design should always start with the human experience rather than just what things look like. She delves into how the spaces we inhabit – from high-end hotels to everyday cafeterias – profoundly affect our well-being and subconscious.
Beyond the philosophy, it’s a brilliant behind-the-scenes look at her creative process, featuring some of her most iconic projects like The Olde Bell and IKEA, and the meticulous detail that goes into making beautiful spaces.
Interior Design Masters
First shown on the BBC and presented by the much-loved Fearne Cotton, Interior Design Masters is a classic competition-style set-up that sees 10 aspiring designers take on the challenge to win a coveted, life-changing design contract.
Each episode comes with a new challenge, from making a room look sweet but not saccharine to revamping retail spaces and turning tired country cottages into bookable retreats.
Blast through all eight episodes to see who takes the crown.
Tidying Up With Marie Kondo
Japanese organising guru, author, and TV show host, Marie Kondo, gets her kicks from sorting through other people’s stuff. The now household name has become known for “sparking joy” in her clients’ lives and only recommends people hold on to their belongings if they really, truly bring pure happiness.
A must for those who love to nosey inside other people’s homes.
In this Netflix Original series, watch Marie as she helps people have the ultimate declutter by choosing her path of joy. A must-watch for anyone with a Monica-style hidden cupboard or those who just love to nosey inside other people’s homes.
Get Organised with The Home Edit
Another one for self-confessed neat freaks, The Home Edit, sits somewhere between Marie Kondo and Queer Eye and is perhaps the most satisfying thing to watch in the vast Netflix interior & homes genre.
From reorganising one of LA’s most enviable wardrobes with Rachel Zoe to getting a Kardashian’s pantry in order, this is decluttering porn by the bucketload.
Guaranteed to either inspire you to get your sh*t together or make you feel utterly terrible about the sheer disorder of your home.
Amazing Interiors
What may look like seemingly ordinary homes from the outside are anything but when you step inside.
This 12-episode Netflix series takes interior lovers on a mind-bending trip into some extraordinary homes, from a retiree who can scuba dive in an actual aquarium in her living room to the somewhat creepy life-sized doll’s house in Hollywood.
Queer Eye
Queer Eye is the kind of life-affirming TV we always like to escape to. Cosy up with the Fab Five – Bobby, Antoni, Jonathan, Karamo and Tan – as they transform someone’s life in each episode, from rebuilding their self-confidence to educating them on their diet and making over their wardrobes.
For those who love the interiors side of things, it’s Bobby Berk who goes into each guest’s home and completely transforms it in under 48 hours.
Essentially a makeover show, but one that will restore your faith in humanity. No, you’re crying.
Designing Miami
Always dreamt of living in a Miami mansion? Now’s your chance to peek inside the high-end homes with Designing Miami, a series that follows married couple Ray and Eilyn Jimenez and their interior design firm’s remodelling of homes across the Florida city.
Tiny House Nation
Londoners well-acquainted with a modest square footage in their homes will be fascinated to take a look inside some of America’s tiniest homes. In a bid to upscale their lives, gain more financial freedom and embrace a more sustainable and simple way of life, many are downsizing their homes.
Travelling across the U.S., host John Weisbarth and expert Zack Giffin help families prepare for their tiny new lifestyle and create hyper-customised mini homes. Strangely binge-able.
Stay Here
The majority of us have checked into an Airbnb somewhere along the line, but if you’re in the market to turn your bolthole into a bona fide side hustle, tune into this Netflix series.
It follows designer Genevieve Gorder and real estate expert Peter Lorimer as they show property owners how to turn their short-term rentals into moneymaking showstoppers.
The series delivers a heavy dose of interiors porn if nothing else.

Motel Makeover
Besties April Brown and Sarah Sklash, neither of whom had any prior design experience, decide to take on one of America’s run-down motels and turn it into a go-to getaway. What could go wrong? Well, a lot given they kicked off the series on the brink of a pandemic.
Despite all that, there’s plenty of cheer and good old-fashioned American enthusiasm to push the series along. Each episode takes you through the design experiences, the ups and downs and the final relaunch.
Expect lots of Instagram-friendly design inspiration and frugal DIY renovation ideas.
The Parisian Agency
Not so much an interior design show, but rather real estate, The Parisian Agency, is centred around the Kretz family – parents Sandrine and Olivier and their four sons – as they run an independent luxury real estate agency, Kretz & Partners, buying and selling incredible properties for their super-rich French clients. Expect exclusive tours of high-end Parisian apartments, historic châteaus, and luxury villas in locations like Ibiza, St. Barts, and Brazil.
The show predictably offers up a host of interior design goodness, but you’ll become heavily invested in the relationships and family dynamic between the Kretz brothers, too.
Made By Design
This hugely inspiring docu-series follows the modern African architecture and interior design, specifically focusing on the creative scene in Nigeria. Each episode features a different talent – such as architects, interior designers, or product creators – who discusses their creative process, the challenges of building in Africa, and their unique design philosophies.
The perfect Sunday night binge-watch if you’re after some fresh inspiration from real experts and artisans, rather than those oversaturated ‘big reveal’ shows. for you.
Selling Sunset
If you still haven’t watched Selling Sunset, where have you been? The glamour, the cat fights, the outrageous outfits, and the jaw-dropping properties are only a few of the hooks that make this reality show one of our guiltiest pleasures.
The dreamy homes are almost too good to be true, and the LA buyers make the drama in the Oppenheim Group constant. A great watch for those looking for Kardashian-level drama with a nod to interiors.
Instant Dream Home
If you loved the sheer drama of those noughties makeover shows (Changing Rooms, we’re looking at you), you’ll love this. It’s eight episodes of pure reality TV indulgence, following a team of quick-fire renovators as they take big risks and make plans to transform family homes from top to bottom in just 12 hours.
Can a total transformation really be pulled off in such a short space of time? You’ll have to watch and see…
Hack My Home
In this high-stakes renovation series, a dream team of expert innovators – Brooks Atwood, Ati Williams, Jessica Banks, and Mikel Welch – take on the spaces that homeowners have written off as beyond saving.
It’s the perfect watch for anyone looking to solve that one tricky room they have no idea what to do with. Or, just marvel at the sheer magic that happens when you finally clear out the clutter and add some easy décor.
The World’s Most Amazing Vacation Rentals
Interiors and travel inspiration all in one show, this series sees hosts Jo Franco, Megan Batoon, and Luis D. Ortiz travel around the world in search of the most unique properties on the rental market.
Some of the rental properties include a snake-shaped apartment in Mexico City, an igloo in Finland, a flying saucer glamp site in California, a Frank Lloyd Wright modernist dream home.
The Minimalists: Less is Now
This Emmy-nominated documentary features longtime friends Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus, known as “The Minimalists”.
It delves into their personal journeys and the broader movement of living a meaningful life with less stuff. Whilst some of it may feel on the extreme side, it’s a show that raises deeper ideas than just pretty interiors, and makes us face the reality of how consumerism affects us all.
