On the popular HGTV show Restored, the clients do not typically get to keep the furniture or decorations that are used in their renovated spaces. The budget for the show usually only covers the cost of the renovations themselves, not the furnishings. However, there may be an option for the clients to purchase some or all of the furniture and decorations at an additional cost.
According to former Fixer Upper client Jaime Ferguson, who shared her experience on the show, the clients have the opportunity to select and keep certain items at the end of the renovation. However, this comes with an added cost. It seems that the decision to keep any of the furniture or decorations is up to the clients and their budget.
It’s important to note that each renovation show may have different policies and arrangements when it comes to the furnishings. While some shows may provide the clients with the option to purchase the items, others may allow them to keep certain pieces as part of the renovation process.
In my personal experience watching renovation shows, it is common for the focus to be on the structural changes and design elements of the space, rather than the actual furnishings. The goal is to transform the space and create a new look and feel, rather than simply updating the furniture.
However, in some cases, the designers of the show may collaborate with the clients to incorporate their personal style and preferences into the design, including the choice of furniture and decorations. This can create a more personalized and meaningful space for the clients.

The focus of these shows is usually on the renovation process and the overall design of the space, rather than the furnishings themselves.
