DIY Home Projects

See how this condo kitchen gets a sleek upgrade for a little over $7,000. Cabinet paint makes a major difference.

It was cute before, but now it’s cozy and really nails that old-timey vibe.

It’s the perfect work-from-home and welcome-home spot.

Read this before you hang your floating shelves.

This tiny paint project will make your home feel like an expensive estate.

It looks so much brighter.

There’s a lot of potential in even the most awkward of spaces.

The lounger DIY project is so smart.

This 1941 home’s sunroom has seen lots of tenants — and lots of grime buildup — over the years. Here’s how two renters made it their own.

Got a paintbrush and a couple hours? You can do one of these projects.

You’ll never guess what it’s made of.

Small DIYs completely transformed the space.

The changes elicit a “WOW” from visitors.

The fresh white paint makes it so gorgeous and airy!

The new pass-through brings the drama.

“Spend the time looking for solutions, and don’t rush into purchases,” this DIYer advises.

Wait until you see their backsplash!

The mission? Turn back the clock on this basic gray kitchen.

No more gatekeeping this gem.

The before: grungy and cramped. The after: totally luxurious!

It’s giving total “main character energy.”

It completely transformed the apartment.

Think outside the frame.

These basic units can be upgraded for stylish storage in any room, not just the kitchen.

It’s a craft station, study area, and vanity all in one.

It “feels like a brand-new kitchen,” the DIYer says. “It’s lighter and brighter as well as more modern.”

This hack makes a strong case for raiding IKEA’s seasonal offerings.

The two-toned paint job is so good!

Wait until you see the pretty wallpaper!

The new backsplash brings major color and drama.

Bonus: The entire makeover is renter-friendly.

Keep your cabinets, but ditch the dated look.

It just took a few DIY changes.

The after is totally charming.

The secret? Mixing textures and shapes.

The wall color is so good!

I’m inspired!

I even made space to store the carseat, which was a HUGE win.

It makes a huge difference!

It’s so dreamy!

It’s only $25, too.

And it looks so chic!

It will totally ruin the look of your bathroom.

The "after" is so much more colorful.

This project is no sweat.

"This is my happy place!" the DIYer says of the "after."

So simple and so beautiful.

The stained glass windows are a must-see.

These pests stink — literally. Here’s how to deal.

“Wiping away literal years of city dust and grime was an immediate improvement,” the renter says.

“All of the storage is amazing,” the homeowner says of the after.

It took a couple tries to get the cabinets just right.

This kitchen transformation is a maximalist dream.

These furniture pieces look way more expensive than they really were.

The goal was to create a music-oriented “space with a lounge feel.”

The $40 price is hard to beat.

Strategic changes made all the difference.

"I desperately wanted to make this space look inviting and warm, and I needed something to store at least five pairs of shoes," the renter says.

The DIYer wanted to make something that really stood out in her kitchen.

The adorable room redo ended up going all-in on a theme.

The 40-square-foot retreat is so relaxing for this renter now.

It’s possible to make rental brown cabinets look chic.
