On HGTV:
Windy City Rehab - great design, doesn't gloss over the bumps along the way, always tells you the real timeline.
One of a Kind - interesting design, sometimes quirky. The star was a blogger, then a designer. Her instagram:

Dear Genevieve - older show, but available On Demand or through the app. Genevieve is an amazing designer. She's excellent.
Restored by the Fords - more modern, but I find it inspiring
Best House on the Block - set in our area! On Demand or via the app. I think it's usually on the DIY Network, which is odd because it fits the HGTV format well.
Youtube channels that might be interesting:
House & Home - Canadian shelter magazine that churns out videos.
Sarah Richardson - Canadian designer that mixes high and low a lot. You'll see her use Ikea and vinyl planks along with expensive fabrics.
Studio McGee - lots of content, a very consistent style that sort of reminds me of the average instagram influencer's style.
Quintessence - house tours with designers and so informative. Huge variety, from castles to cottages.
Open House NBC - New York based real estate show that is on NBC New York. They publish all their shows on youtube, too. Always expensive, sometimes over-the-top.
Three Birds Renovation - Australian design/build team. They have a very specific style, but they're fun to watch.
Building a Better South - a design/build firm out of Kentucky. GORGEOUS homes.
Paula McDonald - Design/build firm in Manhattan. Amazing inspiration for small spaces, especially kitchens and baths. She always shows how she overcomes weird building features.
Architectural Digest - not the most accessible, but interesting house tours!
House Beautiful - content isn't super consistent, but the recent series with designers talking about their rooms in a show house was great!
