Mark your calendars, people, because this is not your average renovation show. HGTV’s new Summer Home Improvement series, Unspouse My House, isn’t just about overhauling homes — it’s about helping heal the lonely hearts of newly-single and recently-divorced homeowners through the power of interior design.
Interior designer, social media influencer, author and self-proclaimed breakup expert Orlando Soria knows not all home renovations require a happy couple. “I’ve perfected the art of creating beautiful spaces uniquely tailored to my recently uncoupled clients—and I’ve also perfected the art of getting dumped,” said Orlando. “I show people going through a breakup that interior design can be a great remedy for heartbreak.”
Orlando’s renovations begin with getting rid of any lingering possessions left behind by the exes. He then personalizes the space to create dream rooms from open kitchens to master bedroom retreats and spa-like bathrooms. He even throws in surprise mini-makeovers, including an overhauled master closet and a resurfaced fireplace.
As Orlando says on his popular Instagram page: “What can you expect from this GEM OF A SHOW? Well, first of all, actual stories of actual break up drama from actual people going through it. BUT DON’T WORRY IT’S NOT A BUMMER. This show is all about healing and having fun, transforming these wonderful homeowners’ lives through transforming their spaces, getting them ready to completely restart their lives. Feeling nothing but gratitude for these generous people who shared their stories with us.”
Along with Unspouse My House, Orlando will also star in an exclusive HGTV digital series which spotlights his home renovation for Olympic skier — and his new neighbor — Gus Kenworthy. The six-episode series will be available on the HGTV app, HGTV.com, and on HGTV’s Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
Unspouse My House premiered Thursday, June 6 at 9:30 p.m. ET|PT. You can catch up on past episodes On Demand, and set your DVR for upcoming episodes, which will air Thursdays on HGTV throughout the Summer. Enjoy!
