What Parents Need to Know
About Top Design
Parents need to know that, like most reality shows, this one makes the most of personal conflict and nasty competitiveness. The designers' personalities range from sweet and ambitious to grumpy and backstabbing. Because the design business is focused on wealthy clients and expensive materials, the show inhabits an elite world. Parents may want to remind kids that most people can't afford the furniture or decorating expenses featured on the show.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about design and the business that surrounds it. What do family members think is "good design"? Do you have anything in your home that you think is well designed? Poorly designed? Can a well-designed room have an effect on how someone feels? If you had a lot of money, would you spend it by hiring designers to create your living space? When you hear how much money it costs to design a room on this show, does it make you think about how that money might be better spent? What's the fascination with this kind of reality show? Does it matter what the subject of the show is, or is it all about the personalities?
