Hey there, friends! Let me tell you something exciting—Trading Spaces is back and better than ever! Yes, you heard it right! The much-anticipated reboot of this beloved show is set to premiere on TLC on April 7, exactly ten years after the original series finale aired. If you're a fan of the original, which ran from 2000 to 2008, you're in for a treat because many of the original cast members are returning. Take a look at the video above to catch a glimpse of the new-and-improved cast of Trading Spaces—you're bound to recognize every single one of them!
Let’s rewind for a moment to remind ourselves what made Trading Spaces such a hit in the first place. The concept was simple yet genius: two sets of neighbors were each given their own designer and carpenter, and they had 48 hours and a $1,000 budget to completely transform one room in the other neighbor’s home. Now, for the reboot, the budget has reportedly been doubled to $2,000, which means even more extravagant makeovers! Over its eight-year run, fans grew to adore many of the cast members, and luckily, most of the fan favorites are coming back for this exciting new chapter.

Let’s talk about Paige Davis, the heart and soul of the show. Our beloved host is back, and she couldn't be happier to resume her hosting duties. Paige shared with People how she first learned about the reboot. "On the nightstand, I could hear my phone vibrating, like a lot," she recalled. "I thought there was an emergency." Thankfully, it wasn’t an emergency but some breaking news that Trading Spaces was making a comeback! "Everybody was asking me if I knew," Paige continued. "I said, 'I’m hearing about it now, just like you!'” The 48-year-old didn’t waste a second before making her claim for the hosting gig, calling up TLC and saying, “You know I want to host, right? I didn’t want anyone else to have my part!” Now that filming is underway, the old designer pals are reunited. “It felt like we had never left,” Paige added. “It just felt like home. I’m so excited; we all are.”
The new Trading Spaces will premiere on Saturday, April 7 at 9 p.m. EST on TLC. This is a must-watch for anyone who loved the original or simply enjoys watching creative transformations. So, grab your favorite snack, gather your friends, and get ready to see some incredible makeovers. Who’s ready to tune in with us?
