1. Upsize your dinner table
Replace the tabletop on that dingy, old banquet table to give it new life.
Have you ever wanted to build your own farmhouse table? It turns out that it’s a lot easier than you might think, and you’ll only need a few cheap wooden planks. Follow the steps in the video below to transform your old, ancient, and scruffy table into something beautiful in no time.
2. Holiday centerpieces
Transform your ordinary battery-operated candles into a spectacular festival of lights.
You’ve seen those low-cost LED-light candles in the store. And while they may appear low-cost, there is something you can do about it. With a little paint and imagination, these candles can be turned into absolutely stunning birch bark lights.
3. Makeover of a bifold closet door
Because not every dressing room or master bedroom has modern or stylish closets, why not mix things up a little?
With a thin texture of white or black paint, some handiwork, and some lovely glass knobs, you won’t even recognize your old closet when you’re finished.
4. Framing out your mirror
There are useful hints for framing out your builder-grade mirrors successfully.
It’s amazing how much of a difference a simple frame can make to your mirror. It instantly elevates it to the status of something special and noteworthy. Fortunately, frames are one of the simplest things to make yourself!
5. Upgrade your microwave
This is a great and easy way to add a splash of character to your kitchen if you want to add a little bit of fun to it.
Let’s face it: microwaves aren’t exactly the sexiest items in the house. But you can definitely make it look a lot more expensive. Simply pick up some marble patterned contact paper at your nearest store. Then transform your microwave into a high-end appliance.
6. A new look for the toilet wall
Separate toilet rooms are the smallest and possibly the most boring rooms in the house. Toilets are commonly found in bathrooms. But if you have a guest toilet, for example, why not remove that rather bland white wall and replace it with some planks. It would look a lot more aesthetically pleasing.
7. Garage door makeover
You can style your garage door to the next level. And make it look a lot more interesting by using a little bit of paint. It’s simple, but it works and eliminates the bland design.
8. Comfortable footstool
You have to try this trendy project because it is SO simple and inexpensive!
Fur is definitely one of the most popular interior design trends right now. The issue is that fur furniture isn’t exactly cheap. Happily, you can still turn an old chair into a regal faux fur foot by removing the top half and doing some crafty work.
9. Sliding door
If you’ve ever been inside a house with sliding doors, you know how cool these things are.
Luckily, you can make one yourself, which Hometalk refers to as a “sliding faux barn door.” It will take some time and effort, but it is a somewhat inexpensive way to make your home look and feel more upscale.
10. Bathroom beautification
A drab, white ceramic bathtub? Not any longer! For a completely different look, take some inspiration from the above idea and add a rocky surface to your bathtub. It’s also likely one of the simplest tasks on this list.
11. Everything is in the details
While some may disagree, there is nothing wrong with stuffing rooms with cool things and furniture. A small accent table, for example, adds a lot of sophistication and elegance to the room.
12. Refinish your kitchen cabinets
While this is one of the simplest methods on the list, it is also one of the most effective. Do you want to get rid of those worn-out wooden kitchen cabinets? You’d be surprised how much of a difference a splatter of white paint can make.
13. Display indoor plants
Every plant lover will agree that adding some green to your rooms instantly transforms them into something new, more welcoming, and more natural. You can even find some cool vases or flower pots that will look great in your home.
14. Combining a rug
To be sure, not everyone likes the idea of having a rug in the house, especially those who suffer from allergies. However, depending on how well it blends with the rest of the interior and complements your space as a whole. A rug can completely transform the look of a room.
15. Mercury glass jars
Mercury is a rare metal, and giving your items a mercury-like appearance definitely ups the ante. You can make these creative mercury glass jars with a spray bottle and some glitter.<
