House

There’s a clever trick for making a brand-new toilet look vintage.

This renovation will make you an open concept believer.

A few extra steps helped the DIY look totally luxurious.

And the artwork is next-level.

It took the owner five years to find the perfect retro cabinets.

Bored with your home design? A kitchen makeover can make all the difference. Think outside the box and take inspiration from these stunning transformations as you dream up your next renovation.

This homeowner transformed her bedroom with “one of the easiest and cheapest things you can do for a space.”

Goodbye, sandy beige tiles.

The countertops are an unexpected fun throwback.

The DIY green backsplash tiles are a must-see.

Other improvements include added storage and a super-functional workspace.

The cabinets are the same, but look way more modern.

The orange gradient tile isn’t totally gone, though. *Wink.*

The goal was to add “personality and warmth” to a once all-white kitchen.

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

Three DIY projects transform the space.

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

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

I got my inspiration from a trip to Paris (and an ordinary stroll to get coffee).

The "after" looks so different that you'd never guess it's renter-friendly.

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

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

If you’re looking for playful, vibrant inspo for your space, this is it.

“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.

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

This impressive transformation happened in stages.

These homeowners decided to “un-flip” their 1956 home’s stunning original features.

The secret lies in color drenching.

The welcoming entryway is now infused with the homeowner’s personality.

And she got her mirror from Sam's Club!

The new look still honors the room’s mid-century roots and now feels like “a cozy den.”

I knew there was something beautiful waiting to be revealed.

The countertop glow-up is unbelievable.

You can hang clothes from a floating shelf!

And the closet doors are a work of art!

One takeaway here? You can use paint on more than just the walls.

And the change was mostly made with paint!

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

It’s the perfect complement to navy.

It’s possible to do a transformation as a memorable family project.

The new paint colors were inspired by the sun.

Before, the cabinets, floors, and counters in this kitchen were “way too brown,” the homeowner says.

The homeowners say it “feels like a bedroom” for the first time since it was built.

There's now a dash of color in an unexpected spot.

The white paint was a game-changer.

These walls didn’t get toned down — they got turned way, way up.

The new mantel is an eye-catching upgrade.

A cool design tip to steal from this bedroom? The new paint color is custom color-matched to the wallpaper.

The after feels like “a swanky restaurant bathroom,” the homeowner says.

“We wanted to transform the space into a whimsical, inviting oasis that welcomed guests and made them feel at ease,” this DIYer says.

No demo needed!

You’ll want to copy the wheeled laundry baskets.

The project is totally reversible — and easy to add on to — if the DIYer decides she wants more or less of the pattern.
