This bedroom redo by homeowners Caleb and Elle Crosby is a beautiful harmony of lots of different styles: somewhat cottagecore, somewhat eclectic, somewhat maximalist, and somewhat rustic. “It has a really charming, old-world, Southern feel to it that really draws us in,” Caleb says.

Sean was not in favor of the black tiled floor because it made the room feel darker and smaller. In addition, the room itself had a bad flow; it was closed off from the entryway.

If you’ve got an awkward alcove or corner in your home, installing built-ins is one way to give that space purpose. But if you’re a renter, a project of that scope might not be possible — so instead, bookmark this project by Johanna Nauts to make effective use of the space. By painting her walls and built-ins the same color, this DIYer created a seamless storage setup.

Before, the living room had a faux brick fireplace, an artex ceiling, and "awful 80s patterned carpet." The after is unrecognizably luxe while honoring the features the homeowners *did* like before.

Luke Lusk and his boyfriend Tyler Batson had an unused little nook in their apartment’s living room. “It wasn’t really big enough for a couch and too big for a desk,” Luke says of the space. “We were stumped with how to use it.”

“I bought five different colors, and painted individual designs on the slab to look like stone,” she says. “I added white paint between them to look like mortar.”

Paint, stain, wooden appliqués, and new hardware are all great materials for adding a bit more personality to a plain, old dresser. And this inspiring IKEA RAST redo by DIYer Meghan Wheeler has all four. She brought rich color and new textures to IKEA’s three-drawer pine chest in about three days and for about $100.

Even if your home doesn’t have vintage character, it’s possible to add some. Homeowner Lia Watson's lime green bathroom was lacking appeal, so she decided to give her 1990s bathroom a more classic look.

Not every home project has to be a giant undertaking. Yes, knocking out walls or constructing a wall-spanning set of built-ins makes a noticeable impact, but so can smaller changes. Take for instance, this living room that designer Valerie Darden renovated in this Virginia row house.
