“I was in love with the green and black tiles,” the homeowner says. “I wanted to spotlight them and honor the incredible craft that went into building our bathroom.”

The new paint colors were inspired by the sun.

There's now a dash of color in an unexpected spot.

Stylish minimalism inspo ahead.

Best yet, the upgrades only cost $1,000.

The after feels like “a swanky restaurant bathroom,” the homeowner says.

“We wanted to transform the space into a whimsical, inviting oasis that welcomed guests and made them feel at ease,” this DIYer says.

No demo needed!

This once-blank space is now a collector’s dream.

You’ll want to copy the wheeled laundry baskets.

The project is totally reversible — and easy to add on to — if the DIYer decides she wants more or less of the pattern.

The after mixes a modern touch with the home’s historic charm.

“A little IKEA mixed in with higher-end items is always a good idea, in my opinion,” this renter says.

These renters squeezed a super practical (and beautiful!) kitchenette into just 40 square feet

The homeowner wanted to combine color and comfort.

The matching seating, wallpaper, and curtains are patterned perfection.

It’s utilitarian *and* pretty.

The after puts the “modern” in mid-century modern.

Nickel gap paneling is shiplap made easy, according to this DIYer.

So long, stained shower.

The whole transformation cost just $250.

Before, the oatmeal-colored walls made the whole room feel dark despite its large windows.

“I wanted people to be absolutely stunned that this was an IKEA dresser,” this DIYer says.

Black cabinets are still neutral — but seriously high-impact.

From four-cubed KALLAX to something MoMA-worthy

Before, the laundry room was “a forgotten room,” this DIYer says.

If you're a maximalist who rents, grab a pencil (and scissors and peel-and stick)!

Now, it’s warm and functional for a family.

The cast iron details are dreamy.

It’s black, white, and bold all over.

“Work with the unique features of the room, and don’t be afraid to mix it up when the mood strikes,” this homeowner advises.

“Cabinets like these can cost over $2,000, so this cabinet costing $600 is a win in my book!” the DIYer says.

“I hope this project is a great demonstration of what can be achieved with paint and pattern,” the homeowner says.

It’s luxe but still family-friendly.

“Painting a piece always is a bit daunting,” this DIYer says, but she made it work.

“This was a very risky project,” the DIYer says. “I didn't know if it would turn out cool or chunky and busy.”

Curtains came to the rescue in this bedroom transformation.

“There were decades' worth of stains in the carpet,” the DIYer says.

The apartment owners had a little over 16 square feet to work with.

The landlord actually reimbursed the renters for the new hardware they picked — it looked THAT good.

The homeowners were specifically looking for something dated that they could redo, and the “before” totally fits the bill.

This once-plain shoe cabinet is now a stunning entryway statement piece.

“The whole space needed to be brightened up and simplified,” this DIYer says.

The tile from before looks totally refreshed, and the DIYer only spent about $53 to make it all happen.

“We spend way more time in here now than we did the first two years of living in the house,” says the homeowner.

Could this be Barbie’s dream cottage? Probably.

The “after” feels fresh and lively.
