Trading Spaces

Paige Davis anchors the format, but the whole cast makes it watchable. Start it on Spectrum On Demand whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason Trading Spaces keeps coming up in conversation. What separates Trading Spaces from the rest of its genre is a genuine understanding of what its audience actually wants to watch. Trading Spaces was an hour-long American television reality program that aired from 2000 to 2008 on the cable channels TLC and Discovery Home. The format of the show was based on the BBC TV series Changing Rooms. The show ran for eight seasons. Paige Davis and Ty Pennington bring the kind of presence that makes the format work. The series ran for 10 seasons (2000–2019), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The editing in Trading Spaces does a lot of quiet work shaping how you feel about every person on screen. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Reality sceptics are warned — Trading Spaces has converted more than a few doubters. Fans of Bar Rescue will recognise the sensibility here immediately. The 10-season run rewards the patience it asks of you. The production understands its own premise and executes on it without apology. If you have enjoyed similar formats before, this is one of the stronger examples of what the genre can do.
