What's your favourite TV homes show?

8 years ago

If you're a design enthusiast on Houzz, I'm sure you're also into home renovation/design/craft TV shows. I'd love to hear which one is your favourite - perhaps DIY SOS, Location, or Restoration Man?

Homes under the hammer for pure entertainment. It's so cheesy but addictive viewing (when working from home!!)

Bone china mug. Has to be light bone china. Small mug/large cup size - 150mls. Have a supply of bone china mugs in my house as well as standard pottery. I also have supplied homes that I regularly visit with fine bone china mugs. Tea does not taste the same out of pottery. OH likes an old heavy bog standard NHS cup.... no breeding or class!!

Our homes reflect our lifestyles, hobbies and creativity. They're a wonderful collection of the things we love and live with everyday. But what's your favourite thing in your home? Is it that antique side table that you found at a market, your brand new sofa or even a little trinket box that holds a wealth of memories? Share your comments and ideas! Discovering what others love about their space is the perfect way to get inspired.

What's your favourite home decor feature colour this season?
Q
Comments (0)
Imagine you are designing a fresh new look for your livingroom areas. You want it neutral for longevity, but you also want accents of gorgeous colour splashed around to bring it alive... So you go shopping for accessories... a cushion, or a wall paper feature, a painting to bring a room to life, or something else... What colour do you go for in that accent piece?

POLL: Favourite room in your home

The sitting room. It's what made me want the house - it's larger than I'd hoped for, overlooks the back garden, has an original 1920s fireplace (which I love), original picture rail and has reasonably tall ceilings. It has a great feel - everyone visiting says so - which makes it very easy to relax in. A close second is bedroom two - smaller than the principal bedroom, it too has a great feel and I love its slightly quirky shape. The downside is that it overlooks a hugely busy road so it's hard to sleep in there ... looking forward to the day when I can replace the windows (original wood) with double, perhaps even triple, glazed glass also in wood.

Anything with Kevin Mccloud. I love the architecture aspects of his programs. As a bonus, he seems a genuinely nice guys, and he is very good looking.

Room to Improve with Dermot Bannon. Ordinary people with realistic budgets wanting to renovate have Dermot (Architect) design the project. He gets involved with the whole interior decor etc.nAbsolutely brilliant. It is on RTE (Republic of Ireland Channel). Install RTE player and watch.

Hard to choose. Love Phil and Kirstie's antics and have picked up some good tips from them. Like Kevin McCloud's style of presentation but as most of the projects he follows are so far out of my sphere it's like watching rich people play with money. 60 minute makeover worries me, I'm sure half the time the wallpaper falls off as soon as the cameras have gone and the presenters and some of the designers..... don't get me started. Love DIY SOS and the crew mainly for their wacky humour but they also really seem to put in the hours to make sure the end results suit the families but would love to know more about the costs involved. Sarah Beeny always seems very practical and her use of space is great - but then also liked the series about her and hubby's restoration of Rise Hall where they seemed to take a huge leap into the unknown and phenomenal financial risks whilst bringing up a young family, which is a bit contradictory of them and me. Bring back Changing Rooms please. And let's not forget Homes Under The Hammer, it's shown us all that radical changes can be made on seemingly tiny budgets which is a relief. Would like something which reflected on the comfort and practicality aspects of home design, for example I learned recently that there are recommended lighting wattages per square metre dependant on room use. Why has it taken 30+ years of me watching home shows before someone mentioned this? Overall I think Kirstie has opened my eyes most and I love her home crafts shows too. More of these please.

The Home Show with George Clarke. He spent the night to see how the family used the property before emptying the house and spray painting everything white so they could look at the space in a new way. He always vastly improved their space in a way that met their specific needs.

I liked the great british interior design challenge (I think that's what it was called!) but watch all of the above, except 60 minute makeover, which I definitely don't find inspiring!

Anything with Charlie Luxton, George Clarke and Sarah Beeny. Also Grand Designs - used to love Grand Designs Abroad for totally different designs and styles.
My guilty pleasure is Million Dollar Listing New York (currently between series in the UK). The three NY realtors are such characters and the properties they deal with are pure property porn.

Also, The Great British Interior Design Challenge, presented by Tom Dyckhoff, Sophie Robinson and our BIID President, Dan Hopwood. They're filming now so new series to come soon.

I loved Sarah Beeny's Restoration Nightmare about doing up Rise Hall on a relatively small budget. I hope there's another series as I'd love to see what she's done with more of the house. My regular fix though is Location.

My favourite show must be George Clarke's amazing Spaces.. why because they are small, well made and challenging in terms of what they have to include in the project for what could be useful in any home.

Location Location Location! One of the few property programmes that follows a sale to completion.. Nothing more frustrating than when 4 houses get shown to a couple who decide to go elsewhere!

I used to really enjoy The Home Show with George Clark. It was great seeing him improve how people used and lived in their homes.
Now I like anything with Charlie Luxton, although I often don't agree with his ideas, and not forgetting Kirsty and Phil. I guess Kirsty has taken over from George in altering people's home to fit their needs.

Great ideas for new shows for me to check out! I also love the great British interior design challenge, location and homes under the hammer. Also, perhaps not so much of a property show as its about upcycling stuff but I enjoy money for nothing too.
