]]> We may be stuck at home right now, but at least we’ve got Netflix, right? If all this time cooped up in your own house is making you realize you’re overdue for an interior makeover (or that you want to move ASAP), streaming services have plenty of inspiration to offer. These shows and documentaries feature outlandish luxury houses, tiny self-built houses, competitive interior design, and gorgeous gardens galore.

What would you build if you had a few million dollars and access to some of the world’s most renowned architects? British miniseries The World’s Most Extraordinary Homes, which premiered in 2017, explores that question through some truly incredible structures and the people lucky enough to live in them. Hosted by architect Piers Taylor and actress Caroline Quentin, who offer complementary perspectives on the details of the architecture as well as practical questions, the series has three highly binge-able seasons to enjoy.

Grand Designs highlights people with ambitious ideas for building their own homes, from creative projects on smaller budgets to full-blown luxury estates. Hosted by designer Kevin McCloud, each episode documents an unusual home build or renovation from start to finish. More of a phenomenon than just a television show, Grand Designs is now in its 19th year and has gone on to spawn books, magazines, and a biannual exhibition while winning numerous BAFTA Awards. Two seasons are available to stream on Netflix.

Tiny House Nation

Two seasons are streaming now on Netflix.

Abstract: The Art of Design

Though it’s a documentary rather than a show, you’re still going to want to fit this one into your Netflix streaming schedule. Abstract: The Art of Design interviews architect Bjarke Ingels, Fiat Chrysler global head of design Ralph Gilles, interior designer Ilse Crawford, and many more experts on their creative processes and what makes them tick.
