WE spend so much time in our homes it’s no surprise we like to look for ways to transform them.
And even if a style or trend is out of reach due to budgets or space, we still like to indulge in a spot of house porn and dream of what could be.
Netflix has certainly tapped into that desire with an array of home improvement and property shows to tickle your taste buds.
