“I always love the look of an office when you enter the room and see a grand executive desk and a feature point behind it,” one DIYer says, and last year, she and several others made a feature out of green paint and built-in shelves. Scroll through their projects for some DIY inspiration for the new year.

Make the most of the solid wood IVAR line with these inventive hacks.

The new look blends contemporary fixtures with vintage touches.

Even better? You won't need any fancy tools to pull this one off.

"As renters sometimes we feel powerless to improve our spaces," this apartment dweller says. She and her husband (and their landlord) came up with some quick fixes for this once-dated kitchen.

"Hallways are often overlooked when it comes to design, and I saw this as an opportunity to take some risks and make some bold design choices," this DIYer says.

It’s a low-key genius method of adding some light to any space that needs it.

The design takeaways here? Traditional doesn't mean "boring," and small spaces do not have to be exempt from big, bold design choices.

Not just the kitchen.

All in, the project cost $120. Not bad for its sophisticated new look!

Don't let an early sunset dissuade you from tackling your home improvement checklist.

Green paint works wonders here, as does a one-of-a-kind mural. It was a big risk that paid off.

The new space is gorgeous — but it's plenty practical, too.

Patience and sweat equity led to dramatic results for this 1970s sideboard makeover.
