“From execution to completion (dry time), it only took us about 36 hours or so,” this DIYer says of this beginner-friendly project.

Looking to make a small change to rejuvenate your space? Consider giving a piece of furniture that you walk by every day a revamp.

The cabinets may be new, but they’re designed to fit in with the architectural details of this 1926 home.

Stylish storage for the win.

The project is practical, sure, but it also brings some personality to what this DIYer calls her “cookie-cutter townhouse.”

You’ve heard of mid-century modern, but have you heard of modern-meets-mid-century? This kitchen redo is inspired by the ’60s but fit and functional for the 2020s.

Wooden serving bowls? As furniture feet? Groundbreaking (really!).

Are entryways the new powder rooms? (Which is to say, the new secret spots to go bold and create a jewel box within your home?) This entryway redo suggests yes!

A low-budget IKEA product, plus a little bit of paint, were the perfect sleek solutions for an awkward spot in this house.

“I've been wanting a new table for the dining room for a while, and this was the perfect opportunity to go a bit ‘extra’ on it,” this DIYer says.

Will IKEA’s change to its iconic BILLY bookcase make IKEA hacks harder? Here’s what DIYers think.

“I DIYed literally almost everything in the room,” the homeowner says. “There’s not a lot you can’t DIY!”

“I always really wanted to add open shelving, but didn’t think it was possible because we were renting,” this DIYer says. Using about $200 worth of materials, she proved herself wrong.

When you live in a small space, you see every inch of it regularly. And when some of those inches are more cluttered than you’d like them to be, it can be stressful — or just monotonous. See how one renter went for a maximalist-but-streamlined change of pace.

The attic had some great features, like built-in wall storage and a big window, but it also had some bad ones — like the moldy carpet and an obtrusive column. Here’s how a DIYer made it all work.

The paint color? Red-orange. The paint location? Read to find out!

These homeowners daydreamed about all the cool things they could do with their ample space.

The before was too empty to feel like someone really lived there.

And it’s easily reversible, too.

Sometimes all a dated bathroom needs is a new paint color.

The previous homeowner put tons of work into creating a rustic-style space they loved — but when the new homeowners moved in, it didn’t quite suit them. Here’s how they made it their own.

A five-week project using IKEA IVARs and a discount fireplace totally transforms this blank white box.

“I didn't like that my powder room looked like my neighbor's, and my neighbor's neighbor,” this homeowner says of her builder-grade “before.”

“Simply painting a room a bold color can completely transform it,” the designer says.

See how this homeowner upgraded her patio with $1600 worth of budget-friendly finds.

Who says appliances have to be just black, white, or gray?

“By using the existing materials in this space, I saved a ton of money, and let’s be honest – who wants to gut an entire bathroom?” this DIYer says. “It’s dirty and dusty and takes FOREVER. Updating a small bathroom with accent walls is a budget-friendly way to add character.”

When these owners purchased their caravan, it was in much worse shape than they first thought. A complete overhaul brought it back to life.

The “new” blue toilet and sink are must-sees.

If you want to revive a tired outdoor space, paint is the way to go.

If you’re short on space or cash but still want to DIY, it’s time to find your local tool library.

“Since this was my first place I owned, I wanted to make the entire space feel like me,” this condo dweller says.

This home was part of a Sears catalog kit, and many of its original features can be seen in the living room today.

Look beyond the Allen wrench.

“The budget for this kitchen refresh was really to spend as little as possible,” this DIYer says.

“This is the first time I'm living in an apartment with a balcony, so that was very exciting,” this renter says.

“It was as boring as a room could possibly be,” this homeowner says of the “before.” The “after” is the complete opposite.

“This makeover made me realize I’m way more into paint than power tools,” this DIYer says.

See how a blah beige living room gets a glam glow-up that’s both trendy and timeless.

This one’s for all the renters and early 2000s homeowners with oak cabinets out there. You won’t find any paint here!

Nope, we didn’t drop a zero on that total cost. Budget-friendly DIYs were the key to this dramatic transformation.

“I plan to stay in this place for some time, so the effort put in is worth it,” this renter says. His (totally removable!) updates cost $600.

Wallpaper, tile, and a new mantel take this fireplace from a blank slate to a bespoke and character-filled feature.

This bathroom is a colorful, eclectic mix of high-end pieces and secondhand upcycles.

“I love having my books all together on the wall; it really feels like a feature in the room instead of an afterthought,” this DIYer says. This one’s for the bookworms out there!

These homeowners “wanted something moody, modern and something no one else had.”
