Purple Countertops Made This Kitchen Dark — White IKEA Cabinets Saved ItHome Projects
Tired of all-white? Honja‘s kitchen remodel proves the trend still has legs, especially when paired with cheerful spring pastels. Their kitchen was blessed with good bones, but also cursed with a purple laminate counter — and swinging saloon doors.“We knew it had all kinds of potential down the road,” she says.She saved for three years to afford this streamlined $10,000 remodel, and elected to do a do-it-yourself renovation.

This Studio Apartment Feels So Much Bigger After Only Upgrading the PaintHome Projects
This isn’t the first sad studio apartment that architectural and interior designer Francis Dominguez has totally transformed. A few years ago, Apartment Therapy featured his 365-square-foot studio apartment in Miami, and I was wowed by his ability to create so many different functional areas in one small space, especially after seeing what the space looked like before he updated it.

An IKEA BILLY Hack Added Storage and Built-In Charm to My Living RoomHome Projects
My 1940 rowhouse has great bones, like a beautiful brick fireplace and original hardwood floors, but it’s been up to me to add architectural details — all those charming, characterful touches that I love in a space. So when I moved in (with my new homeowner’s zeal for DIY and too many boxes of books), one of my first projects was to create a faux built-in using an IKEA BILLY bookshelf.

The Boldest Part of This Color-Drenched Bedroom Isn’t Even the PaintHome Projects
Red paint is sometimes difficult to work with and style, but — when paired with the right colors and in just the right shade — it can elevate any room. (Have you heard of the unexpected red theory?)A rust-meets-red paint job in Abigail Rogers’ (@abigailrogersinteriors) bedroom is the perfect, rich color choice for her Victorian home — but that’s only one great element of her bedroom redo, which includes an IKEA hack, a DIY headboard, and more.

This Classic IKEA Side Table Now Comes in a New Dreamy Color for Only $25Decorating
Color is a powerful part of decorating your living space. Neutral hues may be easy to work with, but the right pop of color can add beauty and ambiance to your space and even increase your home’s value. Paint is usually the go-to way to bring color into a home, but if you rent then you might not want to (or be able to).Luckily there are plenty of other ways to infuse color into your home that are renter-friendly, like through the furniture items you select. Love the color blue?

This 1960s Bathroom Redo Made Room for a Surprising Amount of StorageHome Projects
Older homes can sometimes become a hodgepodge of design styles as updates get added over the years. That was the case in Jess Bond’s (The Bond House) bathroom, which was partially original to her 1962 home — but was also partially updated with ’90s upgrades that included a vinyl floor and a dingy, yellowed tub insert.

The New IKEA Storage Find That Makes Any Bathroom Look Like It Belongs in a MagazineOrganizing
Good bathroom storage is a must — especially if you live in a small apartment like I do. When your priority is practicality, it sometimes feels like you have to compromise on aesthetics, which is exactly why I get so excited when I find home decor that delivers on storage and style while still being affordable. IKEA is definitely a reliable place to find such gems, and there’s a new towel rack in town that will give your bathroom an easy glow-up.

An Office Is Unrecognizable After IKEA BILLY Created a Refreshing RedoHome Projects
Sometimes 1970s wood-paneled spaces are great, but other times they just look old rather than retro. In Katie and Philip Bowling’s home office, that was the case.“We loved the coziness of the small office room, but it was so dark with the old faux wood paneling,” homeowner Katie Bowling (@katiebowlinghome) says. “The carpet in the room was so worn down.

When she moved in, the room had mint green cabinets and floral wallpaper, which she described as “grandma chic in a cutesy way.” It wasn’t going to work for her.
