Before & After Home Makeovers

From agricultural to avian-chic: This bathroom redo swaps dated ‘90s wallpaper for something sophisticated for 2023.

There’s a surprise lying underneath the tub’s white finish.

I spent less than $100 on this redo.

With a serene color scheme, personal touches, and all the storage!

Budget-savvy DIYs ahead!

It’s all in the details!

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

“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.

Featuring an IKEA sofa, Urban Outfitters furniture, and plenty of stunning vintage pieces.

Now, it’s so calming and functional for anyone who uses it.

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

When this DIYer's kids outgrew their bedroom and moved into a bigger one, she wanted to give the space that they left behind a new, more sophisticated look.

Paint plus a little woodwork totally transform this once-uninspiring space.

This DIY is popular for good reason! The stylish "after" is a far cry from the cluttered "before."

After a pricey quote from professionals, this homeowner looked to removing the popcorn ceilings herself but didn't want the mess. Here's how she transformed the ceiling instead.

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!

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.

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

"I love everything about it!" this homeowner says of her revamped entryway. "It’s gorgeous and light and has sweet personalized details."

Paint plus thrifty upcycles for the win.

Maximalists, this one's for you.

This homeowner's project cost her $0 because she used what she already had. But even if you had to buy all new supplies, your project total will come in under $100.

The blank entryway got a little punch of cheer.

“It looks like completely different people live there now!” this homeowner says.

With a serene color scheme, personal touches, and all the storage!

She swapped in some new furniture to create a luxe retreat.

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

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

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

This tiny studio’s bedroom and living area started out dingy, but with some fresh paint and furniture it’s totally unrecognizable.

There’s a smart IKEA hack in this bedroom redo, too.
