How to Get Your Home Featured on a Television Makeover Show
MarketWatch on The Wall Street Journal website features Vern Yip, interior designer and star of several TV home improvement shows, talks about his latest design ideas, why we love home shows on television, and how to get your home features on a makeover show.
According to Vern Yip, people now want their homes to be the "ultimate destination" and be happy to be there. Homes, Vern Yip says, should be a multi-dimensional representation of their occupants and that it is OK to mix styles since we're not one-dimensional people.
People are really interested in transformation shows. We all love watching the OMG moment when the transformation is revealed. Watch a one minute "reveal symphony" from TLC's Trading Spaces featuring contestant reactions to their new remodeled rooms below.
What can you learn from watching TV makeover shows? First, you get ideas about what can be done to overhaul your living spaces. You can see the "before", "after" and "in between" of what goes on during a transformation. Second, you don't have to be a designer or hire a designer to transform your surroundings, but, it helps!!! Third, you learn that it doesn't have to cost a fortune to do over a room, a home, or outside space. For as little as $500, you can transform almost any room from drab to a spaces that will delight you, your family and your friends.
