The recent uptick and popularity of home improvement shows have actively and heavily influenced the design platform as well as the overall desire to readdress home décor. The difference between what came about at the outset of home décor and house flipping shows and what is most popular today is that the latter introduced audiences to a more attainable form of design.
Most notably, the highly-rated show “Fixer Upper” on HGTV approaches home décor from a very interesting intersection; salvage chic. Joanna Gaines, of the show’s husband-wife duo, gives viewers access to the process by which she obtains unique, antique pieces she salvages and either alters them or gives them a new purpose. Together, the Gaines very successfully reframe green living and remind us that we can do a bit more than just recycle our plastic bottles.
