If you're still deciding on your ideal aesthetic, you can source stylish inspiration from your favorite HGTV show and the corresponding host. From modern luxury to rustic vintage, there are so many categories of home decor to choose from. It can be tricky to decide between contrasting approaches, and we can all use a little stylistic guidance when designing and furnishing each room. Luckily, HGTV hosts are masters at creating beautiful, livable spaces and sharing practical design advice along the way. Watching how they transform homes on shows like "Home Town" or "Help! I Wrecked My House" can help you discover the styles and details that resonate the most.

Your favorite HGTV stars have tried it all, from bold trends to timeless classics, both in their projects and in their personal spaces. After years of trial and error, they have mastered what works and what does not, saving you the guesswork. All you need to do is find the host and style that speaks to you. We've discussed the home decor choices HGTV stars can't stand seeing in homes, but this is all about the home decor they consistently rely on!

Hilary Farr, former host of "Love It or List It" and "Tough Love by Hilary Farr" is known for prioritizing classic design over passing trends. She is heavily influenced by English interiors, having been raised in London herself. She once described her own home as "very English, very romantic." Rather than striving for a pristine, contemporary interior, she resonates more with cozy spaces layered with personal history. She told Vulture: "I think that home renovation shows have created a desire to have everything (a) perfect, which doesn't exist, and (b) on trend, which is a joke, in my opinion." She goes on to explain that the priority should be to show your personality and family history, instead of allowing yourself to be heavily influenced by homes you see in the media. Farr continues: "I think that's been a disservice generally, because it's caused discontent in people who have a perfectly nice, lovely, functioning, ordinary, slightly messy house."

There are plenty of Farr-inspired pieces you can try before committing to her timeless, old-world-inspired style. She wrote on her Instagram: "It's all in the tiny details to make maximum impact. Harmony – Beauty – Function." The images showcased timeless accessories like ceramic bowls, artisan vases, and fresh greenery. Her color palette, in this project and beyond, is often neutral with thoughtful pops of color. You can make your house look like a home with thoughtful, personal touches like family heirlooms and secondhand accent pieces.

Host of "Home Town," Erin Napier, curates interiors that ooze Southern Hospitality with a vintage-inspired touch. She told House Beautiful: "My taste never really changed, since I was old enough to know I loved home design, I've loved cozy Americana, worn wood, linen, slipcovered sofas." When discussing her historic cottage in Laurel, she told Hooked on Houses: "I think I'll always be happy with our design choices since our style is not inspired by trends but by history." This philosophy is prominent throughout her entire renovation portfolio.

If you love the cozy countryside "Home Town" look, you can use live-edge wood to add a rustic touch to your home. The perfectly imperfect look of natural wood is perfect for creating an organic look in your space. Erin wrote on her Instagram: "Also, did you know we're seeing a big return of butcher block countertops? Walnut is huge right now, and oak was the prettiest in this kitchen." Other quintessential "Home Town"-inspired elements to try include vintage wallpaper, brushed bronze fixtures, and layered textiles.

Nate Berkus of "The Nate & Jeremiah Home Project" is a big fan of vintage pieces that show their age. He also prefers items with visible texture over vibrant colors. He told Forbes: "I live with an intentional absence of color... in a world of limestone, marble, weathered wood, black accents, bright walls, and a lot of patination." He is heavily inspired by French interior design during the mid-20th century. Aged decor combines seamlessly with sophisticated luxury.

On his Instagram, Berkus recommends starting with colors, feelings, and imagery. He suggests finding images of a space you like, and then purchasing one statement piece that reflects that style. A few options are a chest of drawers, a mirror, or a set of lamps. This statement piece will set the tone for the rest of your interior, and give you something to keep coming back to for cohesion. This isn't the only time he has suggested a vintage chest to serve as the centerpiece; he recently wrote on Instagram that it is one of his favorite pieces to provide history, patina, and practicality to a space. Before you start searching for your perfect piece, this is how to successfully buy antique furniture for your home.

It's no secret that "Fixer Upper" host Joanna Gaines is the queen of farmhouse chic. However, her style has evolved to a more contemporary approach to the quintessential aesthetic. Although she still designs with a rustic, organic style in mind, she has introduced warmer, moodier hues into her homes. "Fixer Upper: The Lakehouse" marked the shift from exclusively neutral, country chic spaces to an elevated, retro-inspired approach. Vintage pieces are still a major part of her aesthetic, but she has moved towards more daring colors and patterns.

If you want to copy her current style, focus on warm woods, handcrafted tiles, natural textiles, and live greenery. The name of the game is adding texture and depth while still maintaining her signature coziness. Wallpaper is a great way to achieve a dynamic interior that still feels homey. For example, Gaines recently designed a his-and-hers office space that included plaid wallpaper, striped wallpaper, and wainscoting. You can find moody, vintage-inspired wallpaper on Amazon, like this embossed Farrich Vintage Dark Green Floral Wallpaper. For a subtler approach, try Gaines' current favorite paint color that is directly reflective of her new style: Cottage Grove by Magnolia Paints.

When David Bromstad from HGTV's "My Lottery Dream Home" originally set out to design his own interior, he wanted to flood the entire space with vibrant colors. However, he told HGTV that he quickly changed his mind: "When I first moved in, I tried to create a whole 'Mr. Color Splash' look. I painted the living room walls turquoise and put an orange cover on the couch with red pillows. Then I stopped, looked around and said, 'I can't live like this.' It was the ugliest thing I'd ever done. So I returned 80 percent of the stuff I bought, painted the room white and added some 'Mr. Color Splash' touches." For a colorful look that doesn't appear overpowering or kitschy, you can add tasteful pops of color to your home through smaller elements. Search for bright throw pillows, statement furniture, and decorative items like vases.

If you don't know where to begin, Bromstad recommends starting in the center of your home, like your kitchen or living space. If you feel overwhelmed by taking on a big room, don't fret. Trying your design skills on a smaller space like a guest room can be a great way to experiment with aesthetics. When it comes to color, he suggests finding your furniture first and saving your paint color for last. This will allow you to experiment with different combinations before committing to a specific wall color. If you need some Bromstad-inspired color inspiration, try timeless blues and greens.

Jenn Todryk from "No Demo Reno" is a big proponent for staying true to your personal style rather than adhering to trends, but there is one trend that speaks to her attainable aesthetic. She wrote on her blog: "I've talked about organic modern before as this is probably my favorite style as far as 'current trends' go. I also love industrial and traditional and incorporate all three into my home decor." She goes on to explain that "organic modern" means incorporating natural textures through elements like wood, stone, and rattan. Sleek and simple furniture pieces will allow the textural elements to remain the source of visual interest.

"Organic Modern" is an easy style to achieve with the right accessories. You don't have to swap out major furniture pieces to embrace this aesthetic. For example, a rattan pendant lamp can change the entire vibe of your space. This Wildluth Hand-Woven Rattan Pendant Light Fixture is a top-rated, affordable choice. For an even subtler touch of Todryk's signature style, try this Travertine Decorative Bowl. You can also play with a few of Todryk's favorite paint colors, including Toque White, Oakmoss, Alpaca, and Naval by Sherwin-Williams. These are the best colors for making "organic modern" spaces feel extra luxe.

Although her style is still organic and effortlessly chic, Jasmine Roth from "Help! I Wrecked My House!" has traded her coastal style for a mountain-inspired approach. She told Voyage Utah: "My design style has been 'California Casual' for as long as I can remember. That is, until I started designing in Utah. I've loved the challenge of incorporating the natural landscape of Utah, the changing seasons, and the 'mountain vibes' into my newest designs." She describes her current style as much more subdued, explaining: "I love neutrals, and a subtle pop of color here and there." Roth's evolution reflects her ability to adapt her signature laid-back aesthetic to different environments while maintaining her trademark sense of comfort and style.

Some recurring pieces in Roth's current projects include leather armchairs, natural wood furniture, and patterned rugs. To totally capture her style, consider lightening your wood finishes to soft, neutral tones that add warmth while still looking contemporary. Prioritize high-quality finishes such as real stone countertops or handcrafted tiles for a refined and lasting look. Black matte light fixtures are a signature choice in many of her rooms, adding a modern and sophisticated touch. She also incorporates pops of blue and green through paint, using these colors on walls or built-ins to bring natural, calming visual interest to her designs.

Host of "Restored by the Fords," Leanne Ford is known for her largely white, crisp interiors. When asked to describe her style, she told Coveteur: "The one that I like the most is 'easy minimalism,' which means clean and simple lines, but warm. I mean there's always exceptions to all of our rules, but I keep pretty neutral, which makes it feel minimalist on its own, but really easy and warm and welcoming." In order to keep her spaces from feeling sterile, she focuses on adding natural texture. She expands: "Texture, which is layers of variations, like playing with shades of white and then also playing with what's on the walls. Is there texture on the walls? Can you add wood? Is there linen next to cotton, next to white wood? You play with that and then add in textured styles." She uses these textures to keep the space interesting and comfortable without making it feel cluttered.

One of the most important parts of Leanne Ford's aesthetic is the white backdrop. If you want to curate a Ford-inspired space, start with her favorite white paint colors. Her most-used white is Shoji White from Sherwin-Williams. She also loves Ultra Pure White from Behr if you prefer a completely contemporary look. If your style leans slightly cozier and more traditional, you can't go wrong with Crisp Linen from Behr. To finish your space with textural touches, try this Fivemengo Wabi Sabi Pendant Light and the Beverly Rug Easy Jute Natural Rug.

Alison Victoria, most famous for "Windy City Rehab," explained her aesthetic in an interview with Athleisure Magazine: "I think of it as vintage and modern. I take the heart from objects of the past and add in the optimism of the future to create something new. It's eclectic and full of life, but it's design that accentuates the way we live now." Your home should make you excited, so it's important to integrate pieces that add both functional value and pure joy.

To capture Alison Victoria's aesthetic in your own home, start by mixing vintage and modern pieces that feel both functional and visually exciting. Incorporate Parisian-inspired details, such as plaster fireplaces, gilt accents, or elegant moldings, and balance them with modern luxury furnishings to keep the space grounded. Bring in character and history with pieces that have patina, like salvaged doors or antique furniture, and layer textures, patterns, and finishes to create a lively, eclectic atmosphere. These are the best places to shop for vintage furniture to give your home a Victoria-inspired touch.

In a past blog post, winner of "Design Star" Emily Henderson reflected on the fact that although she used to describe her style as "weird" and "playful," her interiors didn't actually reflect that philosophy. She decided that her new approach to design is going to involve statement vintage pieces and more creative risks. She wrote: "I'll focus on creating interesting spaces, full of personality, warmth and comfort...and yes, with A LOT OF VINTAGE. Sure, this time around the vintage pieces will likely be more special with surely some investment pieces by designers [who] I have loved for my entire life. But that will take time."

She also shared a relatively unpopular opinion: functionality isn't always the priority. Henderson explained that she sometimes adds decorative touches like tassels on doorknobs or vintage beads draped over chairs simply because they enhance the look, showing that styling is as much about personal expression as it is about practicality. These playful, personal touches are evident in her recent farmhouse renovation. You can steal daring concepts like artwork hanging from rope, entire rooms painted in moody tones, and painted checkerboard floors. Her space is proof that sometimes DIYs do work out for the better.

Architectural Digest asked "Flipping Virgins'" Egypt Sherrod to describe her home decor style. She said, "I would say comfy luxe. I don't want to sacrifice high design and something that is edgy and beautiful and makes me feel good. But at the same time, the reality is I do have three kids and they are going to be messy and jump on things. What I had to do was incorporate comfort and durability with performance fabrics." If you have a chaotic lifestyle, prioritizing durability will allow you to incorporate high-end pieces without sacrificing longevity.

In her own home, Sherrod favors a primarily neutral color palette that feels high-end without ever looking stuffy. She layers rugs and pillows to create a curated yet effortless look, showing that cozy and clean can coexist without over-the-top decor. Her style proves that you don't need to fill every surface to make a home feel welcoming and polished. For those looking to capture her aesthetic, Sherrod's Indigo Road collection on Amazon offers a variety of timeless textiles and accent pieces. This Damara Slub Stripe Tasseled Cotton Blend Throw Blanket is an excellent example. For more ideas, you can take a tour inside the stars of HGTV's Married to Real Estate's own home.
