Hosted by Shari Hiller and Matt Fox, "Room by Room" was designed in 1994 to teach easy and innovative techniques for achieving makeovers on any room in the house. With budget and expense in mind, Hiller and Fox decorated everything from bathrooms to sunrooms using their creative and practical expertise.

After the show ended in 2006, Hiller and Fox moved to PBS to begin another series in 2010 called "Around the House with Matt and Shari." Nearly 20 years after their professional relationship began, Fox explained to The Detroit News how the duo managed to work so well together for so long. "Shari is known for decorating, and I'm known for getting stuff done," he said regarding the pair's balanced-out approach. Hiller added that they both feel the internet hasn't been much help in the home renovation department.

"We used to take decorating challenges and show how to solve them step by step," she said. "Today, there aren't that many how-to shows, and there is more information on the Internet." Fox chimed in, saying, "Everything seems so escalated, and a normal person couldn't afford what is shown. We should go back to being real because people want to do projects on their own."
