DIY Home Projects

The homeowners wanted a designated spot to sit down and eat.

An IKEA PAX hack adds floor-to-ceiling storage in this bedroom.

The “before” smelled like Nicotine and sat in my garage for a year before I finally knew what to do with it.

“If a full demo isn’t in the cards, focus on smaller, impactful changes like paint, molding, or upgraded hardware,” this DIYer says.

It’s so classy.

This project couldn’t be easier.

The DIYer and her family spend a lot of time in the kitchen, so they needed ample seating.

The homeowner could see the potential as soon as she walked in.

Although the homeowner had to compromise on carpet, she was able to completely disguise it with maximalist style.

All you need is cement, a plastic bag, and a candle!

It's strikingly striped, and it has a brilliant use for secondhand shutters.

It’s unrecognizable!

The picture frame molding is everything.

These hacks will save you money, but you won’t have to sacrifice on style.

A pop of color can work wonders.

Before, it lacked any coziness whatsoever.

The renter calls it a "mini renovation."

It’s an ingenious small-space solution.

Prepare to see these in your feed.

The cabinets had been pristinely maintained by the previous owners but were still looking pretty dated.

It’s “designing for not the perfect day but a normal day,” the creator says.

The transformation brings the outdoors in.

It's easy to make your own scented fire logs and a handy way to use herbs that are past their prime or use up the almost-empty jars of some of your favorite cold-weather spices in the cabinet.

Even though it’s chilly outside, it’s still the perfect time to celebrate outdoor projects.

It’s time for bows to bow out.

I’m a firm believer that there’s no such thing as “too much” if you’re filling a space with things that make you happy.

You won’t believe these design feats started from humble flat-packed furniture.

I tried it myself, and here’s what I learned.

The backsplash hack is so clever!

It looks like something you’d find in a high-end decor store.

Read this before you call a plumber about low water pressure.

By not using real marble, the homeowner saved major money on this makeover.

The goal was to make the kitchen a “happier place to cook.”

This DIYer calls the HEMNES “a great blank canvas.”

And it was a total DIY job.

It’s so much more functional, too.

And it’s under $100.

It’s the ultimate adorable, affordable IKEA hack.

Everything has a place now.

The IKEA hack really elevates it.

The “after” has mid-century modern touches.

The living room got its groove back.

The kitchen becomes far more functional.

The after is super colorful.

The vibe goes from standard and builder-grade to The Standard Hotel.

It looks even better with stockings!

You can fill your whole home with the scent of your dreams — it's easier than you think!

“It’s like a permanent rainbow,” the homeowner says of the after — especially the tile backsplash.

The DIY coffee table saved tons of money.

“If you’ve lived in an apartment for over two or three years, I always say change something so it feels fresh,” this renter says.

Even though the weather’s cooling off, it might be time to stock up on pool noodles.

I never quite felt like a real adult until I framed my first piece of art. All through college, I pinned giant collages of unframed art to my walls like a life-size scrapbook. Post-grad, I’ve slowly started framing my favorite pieces. Custom framing is expensive, so I scour thrift stores for well-made frames with glass and hit up my local art supply store for the rest of what I need to do my own custom framing. Ready to get started?

Tulip wallpaper, checkered bedding, and gingham curtains, oh my!

“I am a lover of color. I detest bland spaces,” this apartment dweller says. “The brighter the better. Color lifts my mood.”

It looks so expensive!

And the wavy details on the bed are a must-see.

Go beyond the BILLY.

The new paint looks nice at any time of day.

I’m definitely going to do this again!

“I feel like I am in a Parisian cafe every day,” the DIYer says.

For when you’ve seen and tried everything else.

“If you feel like a color change needs to be done, don’t be afraid!” this DIYer says.
