7 Home Improvement Shows for When You Need Some Spring Cleaning Inspiration

Spring fever is in the air! As the days get longer and the temperatures slowly creep up, so does the desire to crack open the windows and refresh your space. While a full-scale reno might not be in the cards, that doesn't mean you can't take some inspo from your favorite home improvement shows. Here are some of the best ones to watch for all your spring-cleaning needs. (Photos via Netflix + Christopher Smith/Netflix + Denise Crew/Netflix + Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for AT&T)

Fixer Upper (HGTV): You've probably already spent countless hours binging HGTV's gold-standard reno show, so now it's time to put some of what you've gleaned to use. Sure, Fixer Upper deals primarily in buying real estate to gut and redesign from scratch, but there's a lot of inspiration to be found in Joanna Gaines' fresh and laid-back design style, which sticks to light, bright colors and homey accents. And Chip — well, Chip will still be trying to run through walls, so at least he'll keep you entertained. (Photo via HGTV)

Tidying Up With Marie Kondo (Netflix): Chances are you already Kondo'd your life when Tidying Up was released on Netflix to major buzz back in January, but it can't hurt to go back and do a second pass. While the KonMari method isn't preachy about having a pristine home, a rewatch might give you the motivation you need to spruce up your space for spring — or at least to reevaluate and, well, tidy up. And if you've never seen the show to begin with, what are you waiting for? A heavenly home awaits. (Photo via Denise Crew/Netflix)

Master the Mess (DIRECTV):The Home Edit's Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin teamed up with Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine production company to bring their infectious BFF chemistry into people's homes for some much-needed organization and styling updates. Theirs is the kind of fun energy you need to bring to your biggest spring-cleaning projects. (Photo via Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for AT&T)

Stay Here (Netflix):Stay Here is actually an Airbnb renovation show, but that doesn't mean you can't glean some cleaning and decor tips from the Netflix series. Co-hosted by Genevieve Gorder (of Trading Spaces fame) and DJ/real estate expert Peter Lorimer, the show is tailored to a trendy temporary rental market, and while you won't necessarily want to strip your space of personal effects, you should definitely make notes on some of the smaller, more budget-friendly contemporary ways the designers spruce up a space.

Amazing Interiors (Netflix): When you're tired of cleaning but still want to pretend you're being productive, put on Netflix's Amazing Interiors, which shows off the eclectic and sometimes downright absurd interior decorating choices from obsessive fans and hobbyists. While it might not inspire your spring clean, it should at least remind you that making sure your space has a bit of your personality is a good thing, lest your apartment look like every other gray-couched minimalist house on Instagram.

Trading Spaces (TLC): The original home makeover show returned to TV in 2018 after more than a decade off the air, and brought with it some realistic and achievable ways to update your home. The premise of the reboot is the same as the original: Two sets of neighbors pick rooms in each other's houses that need to be redone, and then get $2,000 and two days to complete the makeover. That kind of money isn't exactly pocket change, but the show does provide lots of budget-friendly tips and insights into how to refresh a room. (Photo via Amanda Edwards/Getty Images for Discovery)

Queer Eye (Netflix): The Fab Five work on make-betters for your whole life, and yes, that includes home decor. While the show doesn't detail budget considerations for the house upgrades, designer Bobby Berk is thorough in his explanations about functionality and personality in his reno and decor choices, which could spark some ideas for your own space. One thing is for sure — even if you don't get a lot of specific spring cleaning takeaways from this show, you'll nonetheless feel inspired after watching it. (Photo via Christopher Smith/Netflix)
