When Carmeon Hamilton wasnamed the winnerofDesign Star: Next Genin April, the 35-year-old interior designer took home some major bragging rights, a $50,000 grand prize and most importantly, the chance to star in her own home makeover show.
Now, PEOPLE has an exclusive first look at that series,Reno My Rental, (above), which will be streaming onDiscovery+starting September 18.
In the six-episode run, Hamilton will help transform the residences of renters in her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, without doing major renovations that would lose them their security deposit.
But that doesn’t mean the makeovers are any less dramatic.

The designer manages to completely reimagine dated or cookie-cutter spaces with pieces that her clients can take with them when they move, and treatments (like wallpaper, faux built-ins and lighting) that don’t permanently alter the homes.
Hamilton’s mission is to “make big changes without breaking the bank or tearing down walls,” she says in a press release. “I’ve got the hacks, the tricks and the creative solutions to prove that you don’t have to own a house to make it feel like home.”
And because her clients aren’t thinking about resale, all-white walls and safe design decisions are out the window. In the trailer above, she creates an over-the-top all-pink sun porch, a moody and masculine sitting room, and a bedroom with a custom 3-D feature wall.
The show also spotlights all the amazing Memphis-based talents Hamilton has in her contacts. “One of my goals as a designer, especially working with renters, is to introduce them to all of the creative resources that are right in their backyard,” she says. “Any way that I can incorporate the work of local vendors and artisans into my designs, I do.”
Reno My Rentalpremieres on Discovery+ on September 18.
