Interior design inspiration doesn’t have to come from a studio or a job site. It can come to you anywhere. Even a new show can spark ideas for layout, color, storytelling, and how people live in the spaces you create.
This list highlights interior design shows on Netflix in the U.S. and the U.K. that blend creativity and problem-solving, so you can sharpen your craft even while you relax on the couch.
“Abstract: The Art of Design” dives into the minds of leading creatives across disciplines, from sneaker design to architecture and installation art. The Ilse Crawford episode is especially relevant for interior design, emphasizing how thoughtful spaces shape behavior, comfort, and emotional wellbeing.
“Queer Eye” pairs emotional transformation with bold, highly personalized interiors — led by designer Bobby Berk in earlier seasons and, later by Jeremiah Brent. Each makeover shows how small apartments, family homes, and multi-use spaces can support confidence, daily routines, and connection.
“Amazing Interiors” focuses on homes that look ordinary from the street but reveal surprising, often eccentric spaces inside. The interior design show’s most unconventional projects can push you to reconsider color, theming, and spatial hierarchy in your own work.
“Tiny House Nation” follows John Weisbarth and Zack Giffin as they design and build compact homes around the United States. Every episode serves as a space-planning exercise, with clever built-ins and multi-purpose furniture that balance livability with aesthetics in just a few hundred square feet.
“Interior Design Masters” is a competition series in which emerging designers tackle real-world briefs in retail, hospitality, and residential settings. The changing formats, tight timelines, and detailed critiques in this interior design show offer practical lessons in brand alignment, storytelling, and how to present a cohesive concept across an entire space.
“Dream Home Makeover” follows Shea and Syd McGee of Studio McGee as they create polished, client-driven interiors for a range of budgets and home styles. The show is a helpful study in consistent visual language, client communication, and how to introduce trend-forward elements while keeping spaces warm and livable.
“Motel Makeover” documents designers and entrepreneurs transforming a dated roadside property into a highly branded boutique destination. Episodes highlight color blocking, vintage-meets-modern styling, and the way finishes, signage, and furnishings work together to create a memorable guest experience.
“Get Organized with The Home Edit” pairs professional organizing with playful, highly styled interiors. The interior design show is useful if you’re interested in storage that feels intentional and beautiful, from custom millwork and closet systems to color-coded, open-shelf styling that still supports everyday use.
In “Instant Dream Home,” a coordinated crew completes large-scale renovations in a single, high-pressure day. The compressed timeline emphasizes planning, phasing, and clear roles, while the finished homes show how layout changes, exterior updates, and interior details can completely reset how a family engages with its space.
“Stay Here” teams interior designer Genevieve Gorder with real estate expert Peter Lorimer to refresh short-term rentals across the U.S. Episodes illustrate how to design for both experience and revenue, combining durable material choices with Instagram-ready focal points and local character.
