“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.

Stylish storage for the win.

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!).

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.

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

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!

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

The biggest-impact steps: paint and cord covers.

It’s all in the details!

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.

It’s inspired by a Stevie Wonder song, y’all!

“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.”

The color combo makes this kitchen feel extra inviting.

The new space is a grown-up secret clubhouse that goes all-out with bold design.

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

This DIYer came up with a clever money-saving hack for getting the look of lime washed walls.

Vintage furniture and a fresh light fixture help, too.

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.”

"In my opinion, there is no right or wrong way to style your space," this homeowner says. "As long as it brings you joy, it's functional, and it showcases your personality, then it's perfect! Your home is an outward expression of your vibe!"

“Cloffices” aren’t just for adults.

This DIYer "cried real (happy) tears" when she made the discovery during the demo process.

The new cook space isn't just beautiful — its reimagined layout makes it more functional, too.

Now the space has a groovy, bohemian backdrop.

It’s all thanks to wallpaper and gilded accessories.

A mid-century piece became a modern and functional "flo-denza."

A DIY that's part souvenir and part statement piece.

Karen Graham didn't want her bathroom to totally lose its past.

This is what one DIYer did with her inheritance.

"Never underestimate the power of paint!" this homeowner says of her paint projects — including her countertops which look unrecognizable after a $125 project.

You'd never know it was this DIYer's first-ever furniture flip based on how sophisticated the "after" looks! Read for tons of great beginner-friendly advice.

"Pattern and color are not my usual comfort zone, but I found myself really inspired by spaces that use a lot of pattern play and color," this homeowner says — and several of the prints in the space are totally shoppable.

This renovation doubled the kitchen size and made the main bathroom feel way bigger, too.

The makeover mixes high and low to create a unique space that doesn't break the bank, the homeowner says.

A can of paint and a little wallpaper went a long way to elevate the boring fireplace in our newly flipped home.

The bathroom, in its early stages, was "a bland space overall," this homeowner says. See how she added character while still keeping things neutral.

"Bathrooms love plants, and plants love bathrooms. Get as many in there as can possibly fit!" this homeowner says.

The wishlist for this redo included more storage, better lighting, a larger sink, better ventilation, and a new backsplash.

DIYing as much as possible helped keep costs low, and allowed for splurges on bigger ticket items like appliances.

The homeowners thought this space looked "spooky" before, but some strategic design choices helped bring out the best in the original features.

With the right surroundings, even so-called "dated" fixtures can look contemporary.

You’d never guess this piece of furniture was once a standard IKEA bookcase.

The guiding words for this project: "vintage New England with a twist."

The "after" looks much brighter and cleaner, and the vanity is unrecognizable.

The kitchen and home office both incorporate coastal elements in this sophisticated makeover.

Lots of DIY and plenty of resourcefulness helped keep costs down in this 2000s builder-grade bathroom makeover.

A less-than-exciting fireplace became a bold focal point.

The guest bathroom in this Victorian-era home said goodbye to its wild carpet and hello to statement-making tile.

Updating the surroundings allowed the bathroom's retro charm to come through.

"I had never done stenciling before, so I was nervous, but once I started it was a really peaceful, slow process," this DIYer says of her cheery paint project.

The headboard is a highlight, but this redo is simply packed with clever DIYs and hacks.

"I love color and have been painting faux ‘wallpaper’ all over the house," this homeowner explains.
