==Production and changes==
The first season featured original host [[Alex McLeod]] and some designers who never returned to the show, such as Dez Ryan and Roderick Shade, and was produced by [[Knoxville, Tennessee]]–based [[RIVR Media|RVIR Media]]. After the first 40 episodes, McLeod left to pursue other television opportunities.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://variety.com/2002/tv/news/daytime-emmy-noms-announced-1117863876/|title=Daytime Emmy noms announced|first1=Craig|last1=Offman|date=March 13, 2002}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0572771/|title=Alex McLeod|website=IMDb}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=NWEC&p_theme=nwec&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&s_siteloc=nwsearchmain&p_field_label-0=Edition&s_dispstring=allfields(Alex+McLeod)+AND+date(all)&p_field_advanced-0=&p_text_advanced-0=(%22Alex+McLeod%22)&xcal_numdocs=20&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&xcal_useweights=no|title=Newsweek Archives|website=nl.newsbank.com}}</ref> Beginning with the second season in 2001, [[Paige Davis]] took over as host, with the new production company [[Banyan Productions]] of [[Philadelphia]].  Early-season episodes were traditionally videotaped in and around the production company's home base, as can be seen in those episode's titles (where the city or state and the street are listed).

Beginning in the show's fifth season, homeowners chose up to three rooms for their neighbors to re-decorate, and the rooms were selected randomly, with some rooms having increased budgets of $2000 or $3000.  Midway through this season, Davis was dismissed, and the show went to a hostless format for several seasons and episodes often featured two carpenters.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tvguide.com/news/paige-davis-trading-36276/|title=Why Paige Davis Returned to Trading Spaces (and Vice Versa) |date=January 26, 2008|website=TVGuide.com}}</ref> This change allowed the two homes to be farther apart, with the most extreme case featuring homes in New York and Oklahoma in the same episode.

On November 13, 2007, it was announced that Davis would be returning as the host of ''Trading Spaces'' beginning in January 2008.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_272617199.shtml|title=National Ledger: John Legend, Keri Russell and Cast Go Extra Mile for August Rush.}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/11/15/people.paigedavis.ap/index.html|title=Paige Davis returning to 'Trading Spaces'|website=[[CNN]] }}</ref> The first episode with Davis as host aired on January 26, 2008.  The show also changed production companies, from [[Banyan Productions]] to [[Arthur Smith (producer)#A. Smith .26 Co.|A. Smith & Co. Productions]]. On February 6, 2009, Davis announced that ''Trading Spaces'' was not picked up for a ninth season.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/around_town/real_estate/Out-with-the-Drapes--Trading-Spaces-is-Tossed.html|title=Out With the Drapes - Trading Spaces is Tossed|date=29 August 2018 }}</ref>

On March 28, 2017, TLC announced that it had ordered an eight-episode revival of ''Trading Spaces'' from [[Endemol Shine North America]]'s Authentic Entertainment.<ref>{{cite magazine|last1=Serrao|first1=Nivea|title=TLC reviving ''Trading Spaces''|url=https://ew.com/tv/2017/03/28/tlc-trading-spaces-revival/|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|access-date=14 April 2017|date=March 28, 2017}}</ref> Host Paige Davis returned, joined by a number of cast members from the original era of the series, as well as new carpenters Brett Tutor and Joanie Dodd (billed as Joanie Sprague), new designers John Gidding, Kahi Lee, Sabrina Soto, and one-off crossovers from [[Nate Berkus]] and [[Jeremiah Brent]] (fellow TLC series ''[[Nate & Jeremiah by Design]]'') and [[Clinton Kelly (TV personality)|Clinton Kelly]] (former fellow TLC series ''[[What Not to Wear (American TV series)|What Not to Wear]]'').<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://people.com/home/nate-berkus-and-jeremiah-brent-on-their-crazy-surreal-trading-spaces-crossover-episode/|title=Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent on Their 'Crazy,' 'Surreal' Trading Spaces Crossover Episode|work=People|access-date=2018-05-02}}</ref> A reunion special hosted by [[Lisa Joyner]] was also planned to accompany the April 7, 2018 premiere, featuring appearances by other former cast members. The format remains relatively unchanged from the previous seasons, although the spending budget was increased to $2,000. There is also [[product placement|brand integration]] with the online retailers [[Bed Bath & Beyond (online retailer)#As Overstock.com|Overstock.com]] and [[Wayfair]]; one of the retailers provides a "[[pop-up retail|pop-up store]]" with home décor products during each episode, where a homeowner may pick an item for incorporation into their respective room.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://variety.com/2018/biz/news/tlc-trading-spaces-advertising-wayfair-lowes-1202745701/|title=TLC Rebuilds Commercials for 'Trading Spaces'|last=Steinberg|first=Brian|date=2018-04-06|work=Variety|access-date=2018-04-16|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://deadline.com/2017/11/trading-spaces-reunion-show-2018-tlc-series-revival-1202204302/|title='Trading Spaces' Reunion Show Set Ahead Of Revival Launch|last=Hipes|first=Patrick|date=2017-11-08|work=Deadline|access-date=2018-04-16|language=en-US}}</ref><ref name=startrib>{{cite news|first=Neal |last=Justin |title='Trading Spaces' is the latest TV show hoping to capitalize on the nostalgia wave |url=http://www.startribune.com/trading-spaces-is-the-latest-tv-show-hoping-to-capitalize-on-the-nostalgia-wave/478779553/ |work=[[Star Tribune]] |date=2018-04-04 |access-date=2018-04-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180405065247/http://www.startribune.com/trading-spaces-is-the-latest-tv-show-hoping-to-capitalize-on-the-nostalgia-wave/478779553/ |archive-date=2018-04-05 |url-status=live}}</ref>
