DIY Home Projects

This 12-year-old mirror looks better than ever.

Three DIY projects transform the space.

It’s time to do a little detective work.

“There was nothing interesting about the room at all,” the homeowner says of the “Before.”

These luxe-but-lived-in bookshelves from real homes totally nail the “bookshelf wealth” trend.

My boyfriend wanted to go bold in wallpaper and in color. I wanted a wild toilet. We both got what we wanted.

This one’s for all those with Pinterest boards full of paint colors.

You won’t believe how much a can of paint can transform a space.

“The cloffice makes me feel like I'm on Sex and the City!” the DIYer says.

Put a little love in your heart.

This material is what you need if you want to level up your DIY game.

The “movie theater or bowling alley” carpeting didn’t go — it provided bold inspo.

These ideas can be done in as little as 15 minutes.

Fabric wall art = instant character

The overall footprint is still the same, but the “after” feels like a much taller space.

The after is “a really unique design and a real focal point” in the approximately 50-square-foot space.

All of the DIY projects totaled $1,115

You don't have to replace the counters to make them look new.

“I loved the practicality and shape of the dressing table, but everyone on Instagram seemed to have the same one!” this DIYer says.

The renter picked colors she wouldn't get sick of.

IKEA always for the win.

And the entire project only cost $60. Talk about budget-savvy!

The new color combo is unexpected, but it totally works.

“The room has a focal point,” the homeowner says of the “after.”

The paint projects were inspired by the work of two artists, and they add color, pattern, and whimsy.

It’s now the perfect reading spot.

You’ll want to add these to your to-DIY list.

According to our Home Projects Director.

“I did it all by hand with a small paintbrush, and it gives my home a homemade quality,” the DIYer says.

“I wanted a luxe look without it looking cheap,” the DIYer says.

The “after” makes 300 square feet feel massive, thanks to smart cabinetry, color choices, and more.

It’s surprisingly easy to DIY.

It’s dopamine decor, on a tiny scale.

“I'm surprised by how fundamentally different the space looks — and the ability to get there without spending thousands and thousands of dollars,” this renter says.

This is definitely the weirdest way I’ve ever used a fork.

Even after you’ve taken out all the goodies, those single-season Advent calendars still have some life left in them.

The after looks so luxe that the family has taken to calling it “the parlor.”

And the change was mostly made with paint!

The new “garage” is super cool and super reversible.

Paint might not be a power tool, but it is a *powerful* tool.
