Living Room

Here’s how I used color and pattern to make the room feel distinct.

The after is a total breath of fresh air.

And the wavy DIY headboard is a must-see!

A new wall color is never a bad idea.

Major renovations? We don’t know her.

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.

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.

No matter the size of your home, these features are perfectly copy-able.

There’s even an indoor trellis!

The “after” has several design nods to the original.

“Before, it was just too gaping with all white,” the renter says.

Plus, there’s the coolest plant storage idea.
