Living Room

This transformation is an all-time favorite.

After dreaming of a fireplace for years, I finally made my own in my 10th apartment.

The new space has a "massive cozy factor," the DIYer says.

I regret not doing this in my own apartment.

The layout for this living room makeover was a mystery — until 3 a.m. inspiration struck.

“The cottage’s original details had been completely stripped away,” the homeowner describes.

I've been thinking about it for years.

The project cost $700.

This has “relax here” written all over it.

“I really like the feel of an old library, but I also love some elements of more modern style,” the apartment owner says.

The built-in bookshelves are so dreamy.

The mural was improvised.

“I’ve just been craving something new in the living room,” the DIYer says.

It looks so sophisticated.

I’m in my grown-up art era.

“It 100% paid off,” the homeowner says.

The gist of this project is straightforward: Assemble a BILLY, then surround it with trim.

“As a homebody, introvert, and remote worker, it feels especially important to create a space I truly enjoy being in,” the renter says.

And it has the prettiest accent wall.
