When Christopher Knight takes the main stage at the Minneapolis Home and Garden Show, he'll be totally at home. That's not just because he's used to the limelight. Knight, who gained fame as Peter Brady on "The Brady Bunch," has some serious design chops.
You could say he grew up in the business. His father was an architect, his mother an artist, and his grandfather worked in the textiles industry. When he was 25, he bought a fixer-upper in the suburbs of Los Angeles and spent a summer remodeling it.
"It was an 1,800-square-foot tract that was rundown and overgrown with weeds," he said. "It needed to be cleaned up."
Knight, now 65, starred in "A Very Brady Renovation," the limited series that became HGTV's most popular show ever.
In the 2019 series, Knight joined his screen siblings at the ranch-style Studio City home shown in the exterior shots for the sitcom, which aired from 1969 to 1974. For the series, the actors join forces to renovate the home to resemble the show's set.
Seven years before that, he founded Christopher Knight Home, a furniture, decor and accessories collection available at major retailers including Target and Amazon.
"Where I come from, in respect to home design, is how to make it more affordable," he said. "That's the driving force."
When furnishing his Southern California home, Knight considers himself something of a minimalist.
