Here’s Why TLC Is Reviving Trading Spaces a Decade After It Went Off the Air

The show that kicked off TV’s design craze returns on April 7

TV revivals aren’t just restricted to scripted series like The X-Files and Will & Grace. TLC is bringing back one of its most popular shows ever, Trading Spaces, a decade after the series, which helped kick off TV’s home renovation and design craze, went off the air.
