30 Signs You’re an HGTV Superfan
There’s a slippery slope between being a fan and having an obsession—especially when it comes to HGTV’s open-concept layouts, stunning granite counters, and those “bright and beautiful” design choices. If you find yourself glued to this channel, you might be on the verge of a decorative crisis. Before you know it, you’re painting every room a soothing gray and learning the names of the goats in Joanna and Chip’s backyard.
Here are some telltale signs you may be watching way too much HGTV:

HGTV is like a visual addiction that’s hard to kick. Once you’re hooked, the only thing that might stop you is an intervention after you’ve started digging a hole for a pool complete with a 15-foot waterfall and a swim-up bar—because entertaining is everything, right? HGTV represents our aspirations for home and life, so it’s no wonder we can’t look away. Dreaming is part of the fun, especially if it involves an open-concept design and a soothing color palette.
