(SPOT.ph) We’re already in the nth season of quarantine and the finale doesn’t look like it’s coming anytime soon. But it’s been more bearable with house tour marathons that keep you company while you’re—well, stuck at home. It’s a great way to unwind while finding inspiration to decorate and organize your own space. If you’re looking to take your love for home design to the next level, you might want to check out these home design shows that’ll bring you some new ideas.

No space? No problem! In Tiny House Nation, hosts Zack Giffin and John Weisbarth travel from one U.S. city to another as they help families make their dream home come true—within the limits of 500 sq. ft. or less. (That’s more or less the size of one studio unit in Manila.) You’ll want to take note of the space-saving tricks and cool storage hacks you can use yourself.

Dream Home Makeover (2020-present)

No style is too eccentric and no budget is too tight for Dream Home Makeover. Husband-and-wife duo Shea and Syd McGee revamp families’ homes depending on their taste and allotted cost. If you’re looking for a more interesting take on house tours, this show also features scenes from the McGees’ everyday lives as they raise their kids and renovate their own home. How different is designing a home when you’re doing it for work and doing it for yourself? It’s one show inside another to get you even more hooked.

The World's Most Extraordinary Homes (2017-present)

If you thought your fave celeb’s house tour was already out of this world, wait till you see the ones featured in The World’s Most Extraordinary Homes. Architect Piers Taylor and actress Caroline Quentin travel to different parts of the globe to explore homes designed to the extremes. The first season focuses on houses designed to adapt to their surroundings and the second features one unique home in a specific country. Other shows just pan around the staged rooms, but in this show, the hosts also stay overnight to see how the home functions as a whole. How’s that for immersive?

Interior Design Matters (2019-present)

The prospect of designing and decorating a home is already exciting in itself. It’s twice the thrill when people are actually competing against each other. In this British series, 10 aspiring designers compete with each other as they design commercial spaces for a chance at a career-making contract. It’s almost like America’s Next Top Model but for interior designers. What’s exciting is you’ll get to see their processes and strategies for designing—who knows, you might pick something up yourself! With all the rearrangement you’ve done with your own room, you could probably star in this show, too.

Minimalist design has been all the rage in recent years. You can see it in the uprise of simple yet sleek and often plain-colored furnishings. But in this documentary, friends Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus discuss how the trend should start becoming less of an aesthetic and evolve into more of a lifestyle—especially when it comes to our purchases. You’ll end up with a more mindful approach to how you shop for and furnish your space.

You’ll see why they’re the best of the best while finding out why these luxurious houses are the most expensive listings on the market.

It’s a great watch if you’re trying to make the most out of your small condo in the big city.

If you miss planning and going on vacations, then you probably also miss the feeling of finding that one perfect Airbnb that checks all your needs—and looks great on your Instagram feed, too. In Stay Here, interior designer Genevieve Gorder and real-estate expert Peter Lorimer guide property owners on how they can revamp their short-term rentals for tourists. As a guest, you’ll appreciate all the thought that goes into furnishing a rental. But you might end up also considering opening up your own.

They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. This series shows you why you shouldn’t judge a house by its front doors, either. One step into these “normal” looking homes and you might find yourself looking at a waterfall cascading from a bed or another house within a house. You’ll have to leave your disbelief at the gate so you can be inspired by all the imaginative and inventive interiors people have made.
