Does anyone else remember getting woken up by their parents at the crack of dawn every Saturday to complete chores and projects around the house? I used to dread getting dragged to Home Depot, IKEA, Pottery Barn — and if my parents wanted to watch a home improvement show on HGTV? Forget about it.
But now, I genuinely understand the appeal.
There's so little we can control in this world. The economy is volatile, the job market is uncertain, and let's not even discuss the state of politics. But the one thing we have complete domain over? Our homes.
Whether you rent or own, you have the ability to transform your space into something that truly reflects your personality. And aside from the usual suspects (social media platforms like Pinterest and TikTok), there are plenty of binge-worthy home improvement and renovation shows to serve as inspiration for your next project.
So, before you start redecorating your bedroom or finishing your basement, check out these shows on Netflix. They're sure to scratch your interior design itch, especially if you're an HGTV lover.

2. The Minimalists: Less Is Now
Speaking of cluttered chaos, people tend to accumulate a lot of junk as they age. And for those of us who assign some form of sentimental meaning to practically every item, it can be tough to keep our amount of belongings in check.
That's where The Minimalists: Less Is Now comes in. This documentary follows Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus as they help people say goodbye to items they don't actually need.

3. Tidying Up with Marie Kondo
Similarly, Marie Kondo has become renowned for her KonMari Method of organization. So, she goes to people's homes in Tidying Up with Marie Kondo and helps them execute the technique in their very own cluttered spaces.
Marie urges her clients (and viewers) to get rid of objects that no longer "spark joy" while keeping only the things that they genuinely enjoy or find purposeful. This is a slight departure from flat-out minimalism, but it has resonated with plenty of people who struggle with letting go of items.
