Trading Spaces is an hour-long television reality program on the cable channel The Learning Channel. The format of the show is based on the BBC TV series Changing Rooms.

In each episode, two sets of neighbors redecorate one room in each others' homes. Each two-person team has two days, a $1,000 budget, and the services of a designer. The teams share the services of a carpenter.

The teams have no say in what happens in their own homes, but can give input into what happens in the home they are redecorating. The teams must not enter their own home for the duration of the show, and the transformed rooms are revealed only at the end of the second day.
