Fixer Upper: Behind the Design is a spinoff show from the popular HGTV series, Fixer Upper, which follows the story of Joanna Gaines and Chip Gaines as they remodel and renovate old, run-down homes into stunning, modern living spaces. The show premiered in 2018 and quickly gained a loyal fanbase due to its unique approach to home renovation television.

Unlike Fixer Upper, which focuses on the actual renovation process, Fixer Upper: Behind the Design takes viewers behind the scenes to show how Joanna Gaines conceptualizes her designs and comes up with her incredible interior decorating ideas. The show is divided into short episodes, each dedicated to a different renovation project that the Gaines' have taken on.

Each episode begins with a brief introduction to the homeowners and the property they have purchased. Joanna then takes viewers through her creative process, from her initial inspiration to her final design choices. She explains how she takes the homeowners' tastes and preferences into consideration and how she works within the constraints of each property to create a cohesive and stylish living space.

One particularly interesting aspect of Fixer Upper: Behind the Design is how it sheds light on the often-overlooked process of decorating and furnishing a home. Joanna has a keen eye for detail and a unique sense of style, and the show gives viewers a glimpse into how she selects everything from wallpaper and fixtures to furniture and accessories.

Throughout each episode, Joanna offers tips and advice for how viewers can achieve a similar look in their own homes, making it a great resource for anyone looking to renovate or redecorate. Her down-to-earth personality and infectious enthusiasm make her relatable and easy to connect with, which helps viewers feel like they too can create a beautiful and functional living space.

One of the strengths of Fixer Upper: Behind the Design is how it showcases the importance of teamwork in the renovation process. Chip and Joanna work closely together, bouncing ideas off each other and pooling their resources to create something truly special. Viewers get to see how their dynamic partnership plays out behind the scenes, which adds an extra layer of interest to the show.

Another standout aspect of Fixer Upper: Behind the Design is how it explores the history and character of each property the Gaines' work on. Many of the homes they renovate are old and rich in history, and Joanna is skilled at retaining the original charm and character of each space while updating it for modern living.

Overall, Fixer Upper: Behind the Design is a must-watch for fans of the original Fixer Upper series, as well as anyone interested in home design and renovation. The show is informative, inspiring, and entertaining, and it offers a unique perspective on the creative process behind home decorating and renovation. With Joanna's keen eye for design and her infectious personality, Fixer Upper: Behind the Design is sure to have viewers tuning in week after week.
