Netflix's Marriage or Mortgage is a reality series in which couples are faced with a difficult financial decision. They may use their savings either for a down payment on a house or for a wedding ceremony and reception. Each couple shares their story and explains why they might be leaning towards the house or the wedding. A realtor (Nichole Holmes) tries to persuade them to buy a home, and a wedding planner (Sarah Miller) shows them what a magical wedding day they could have.
There are currently only ten episodes of Marriage or Mortgage, but fans of the reality and lifestyle genres can watch many other entertaining programs of the sort on Netflix.
Dream Home Makeover
There are now two six-episode seasons of Dream Home Makeover available on Netflix. Syd and Shea McGee own an interior design firm called Studio McGee, and they use their skills to create the perfect spaces for families of varying budgetary needs.
Although the design style of the series has been criticized for looking the same in multiple episodes, the McGees are still a pretty big hit. People who watched Marriage or Mortgage might like to see a married team give Chip and Joanna Gaines a run for their money.
Selling Sunset
After watching a series of couples who are on a budget, some viewers might like to watch a real estate series where money is less of an object. Selling Sunset began in 2019 and has been renewed for its fourth and fifth seasons. The reality show centers on The Oppenheim Group, a Los Angeles-based real estate brokerage catering to wealthy clientele.
Viewers might come for the real estate, but they stay for the drama. Between the agents, the clients, and the properties, there's always something to make a fuss over.
Country Ever After
One signature touch on Marriage or Mortgage was its Nashville, Tennessee location. Couples on the series were looking for homes (or weddings) in and around Music City.
Country Ever After began in 2020 and takes country music out to LA with the Anderson family. Coffey Anderson is a country singer from Texas. His wife, Criscilla Anderson, is a hip-hop dancer, choreographer, and actress battling stage-four colon cancer. Country Ever After follows the Andersons and their kids through day to day experiences in their lives and careers. Concerts, health struggles, and family celebrations are all part of what fans can expect to see on the series.
Stay Here
Designer Genevieve Gorder became popular when she was on TLC's Trading Spaces in the 2000s. She is joined in her 2018 Netflix series by Peter Lorimar, a real estate expert and entrepreneur. Lorimar and Gorder work together to help people find success with the Airbnb trend.
More specifically, the co-hosts work with homeowners to transform their properties into lodgings fit for short-term rental. At eight episodes, Stay Here offers a great sampling of projects and is a nice choice for a quick weekend watch.
Interior Design Masters
Marriage or Mortgage fans got to see wedding planner Sarah Miller and realtor Nichole Holmes compete to win over the couples on the show. On Interior Design Masters, there is even more competition to look forward to. The series gives ten design hopefuls in the UK the chance to win a design contract for a top London hotel bar. Their supreme judge is Michelle Ogundehin, the former editor-in-chief of British Elle Decoration magazine.
This program full of challenges could be a great choice for fans of HGTV Design Star, too.
The Big Day
For people who are more interested in the wedding part of Marriage or Mortgage, The Big Day provides a window into the multibillion-dollar Indian wedding industry. Each episode of the new series features two couples who are planning their lavish weddings. Viewers get to see how all the details come together leading up to the big day for each couple.
In addition to revealing the inner workings of India's wedding market, the series also presents important social issues as they relate to the country in the present day.
Million Dollar Beach House
Agents from Nest Seekers International, a commercial and residential brokerage firm, sell luxurious properties in the Hamptons. Fans of the reality design genre might like the location change, but they should be aware of another important conversation circling Million Dollar Beach House.
With predominately white brokers and only one broker of color, the dynamic on the series has been noticed for more than just routine reality drama. Glamour noted viewers' disapproval of the racism and sexism on the 2020 series. Those who watch it should be cognizant of this problem while analyzing the show's situations for themselves.
Styling Hollywood
Styling Hollywood is one of Netflix's best reality series in the design genre, and its special twist is the combination of interior design and fashion design.
Jason Bolden and Adair Curtis are spouses and business partners at JSN Studio. Their brand poses the question, "For, what is a beautiful wardrobe, without a beautiful home?" This sentiment is reflected on Styling Hollywood, where Jason and Adair cater to famous entertainment industry professionals. They dress Sabrina Carpenter and Taraji P. Henson, and they design homes for the likes of Dulé Hill and Jazmyn Simon.
Amazing Interiors
There are twelve episodes of the 2018 Amazing Interiors series for viewers to enjoy. From opulent to eccentric, the homes featured on this series will surprise even the most creative decorator. Want to see a waterfall in someone's bedroom or a house transformed into a circus?
How about a sports-themed abode or even a personal skatepark? It's fascinating to see how the people on Amazing Interiors live their lives in such surprising spaces.
Get Organized With The Home Edit
With realty, relationships, weddings, and décor, it's good to include an organizational reality program for good measure.
The Home Edit was founded by Joanna Teplin and Clea Shearer, both based in Nashville. The founders have built a brand that blends design and style with practical organization. On Get Organized with The Home Edit, Clea and Joanna help their clients revolutionize closets, pantries, and other everyday corners of the home. Viewers who finished Marie Kondo's show long ago might like to give this one a try, especially if they want to see Reese Witherspoon's closet.
