Living Room

Now, it’s a groovy space for hosting friends.

Smart design choices and budget-savvy shopping gave this blank space a charming new look that totally fits the home’s 1941 roots.

The “after” is bright, airy, and art-filled.

An IKEA ELVARI was the perfect find here.

There's no such thing as too much color.

The homeowners wanted to add toy storage to their living room without turning it into a full-on playroom.

The green paint inspired the rest of the studio’s design.

The gallery wall is personality-packed.

Goodbye, red carpeting.

Before, this homeowner avoided including this wall in any photographs. Now, it’s ready for its close-up!

This once-blank space is now a collector’s dream.

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.

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.
