Get stainless steel without going broke. A number of affordable appliance manufacturers now offer models almost identical to their high-end counterparts.
(Dishwasher, $549.99; sears.com for stores)
Unify everything with white paint. To ensure that the new bottom cabinets matched the old upper units, the homeowner painted both with Benjamin Moore's Linen White—a move that lightened up the whole kitchen.
($37.99 per gallon; myperfectcolor.com)
Make the natural choice. The homeowner ditched the laminate counter-tops in favor of Ikea's affordable oak option—which cost just $800 total and can be sanded down when cooking blunders occur.

Before: Pink & Plain
To transform this plain bedroom, the homeowners decided to tear down the dropped ceiling and basic wallpaper.

After: Rustic Modern
After renovation, the master bedroom was clad in pine planks and coated with a primer that lets the grain show through. Beneath the carpeting? Hardwood floors. In place of a headboard, the couple covered the wall behind the bed in oak rescued from a Pittsburgh bank. An outlet-store dhurrie rug softens the floor, while an Ethiopian cotton throw drapes the Restoration Hardware quilt. The walls are painted Interior Primer by Kilz.

Before: Unused Area
A three-foot-deep second-story crawl space used to occupy part of this home was left empty.

After: Welcoming Guest Bedroom
Knocking through the upstairs crawl space uncovered enough square footage to tuck a guest nook below the eaves in the office.
Delineating the work space and the guest bedroom: Ikea curtains and chalkboard paint (Chalkboard Black by Rust-Oleum).
Bright idea: These curtain rods are actually electrical piping.

Before: Dark & Dated
Old cabinetry and tile counters covered this kitchen before its renovation.

After: Open & Airy
The cabinets and surfaces were swapped in favor of Ikea units painted Barely Beige by Benjamin Moore and topped with zinc. Above, open shelving displays collectibles alongside everyday dishware. The ceiling is painted Creamy White by Benjamin Moore.
Bright idea: An inbox and outbox keep produce and bread organized.

Before: Dull Kitchen Island
This bulky eyesore featured dated wood.
Victoria Pearson

After: Smart Details
The island was revamped with lapboard, limestone countertops, and new doors fronted in chicken wire.
The finishing touches: crown molding, antique wooden corbels, and Chester Grey paint by Ralph Lauren.

Before: Decades Old
A faux-brick backsplash? Dark cabinets? Formica counters? This room boasted every bad-kitchen cliché.
Max Kim-Bee
13 of 67
After: Beautifully Bright
Fixing the kitchen proved inexpensive, thanks to subway tiles and plenty of white paint, and a few bargains: Ikea cabinets, butcher-block countertops, and farmhouse sink. An antique bakery table, equipped with Pottery Barn baskets, functions as the kitchen island. The homeowners found the barstool in the trash.

Before: Builder Basic
This tract home's master bath looked the same as it did when it was built in 1998.

After: Full of Personality
By retaining the master bath's layout, thie homeowner avoided the expense of moving plumbing lines, relying instead on cosmetic updates.
One change: a single sink console, made possible by closing off a secondary closet entrance. The exterior door opens straight onto the pasture.

Before: Cramped and Boring
This basic bath lacked personality and space!

After: Simply Luxurious
Gutting the second-story crawl space doubled the master bath's square footage. The area is kitted out with a dual shower and a claw-foot tub from Victoria + Albert, all finished with fittings from Habitat, a local hardware store. The hanging basket, once used by miners, holds toiletries. The homeowners widened the window opening, and tilted the floor at a slight slant for drainage.

Before: Kitschy Cabin
A corner hearth originally occupied this den.

After: Bright & Modern
To create symmetry, a contractor relocated the corner hearth with a new one, centered on the wall opposite the open kitchen.
Built-in cabinetry on either side of the fireplace reinforces the sense of balance. The homeowner traded her single living-room settee for two generous Ikea sofas and a Ralph Lauren chair, all slipcovered for easy cleaning. The pine coffee table came from a garage sale, and the metal "C" is from a local garden store.

Before: Very Basic
Dated carpet and furniture made this living room feel dark.

21 of 67
After: Eclectic Personality
The homeowner nstalled beadboard on the ceiling to echo the restored walls. By jettisoning the cabinet doors beneath the window seat, he created a clever spot to stash logs for a new woodstove. The overall vibe is classic Americana, treated with a rock 'n' roll attitude: A JFK campaign poster faces off against a gilded Federal mirror.
Bright idea: When it comes to hanging wall art, don't overlook the mullion bar between two windows.

Before: A Dearth of Personality
Low ceilings and plain drywall initially plagued this dining room area.
Max Kim-Bee
23 of 67
After: Full of Life
When the homeowners removed the structure's dropped ceilings and drywall, they discovered dramatic roof beams and charming beadboard. In the dining room, and throughout the residence, they sanded the pine floors and stained them a rich ebony. Here, they sit in midcentury Woodard chairs. A friend crafted the dining table out of wood salvaged from a bowling lane. The oversize light formerly illuminated a factory. The walls are painted High-Gloss White by Behr.

Before: Dreary Living Area
Convenient though the location was, this lake home did have its drawbacks. Dark, dated paneling. Low ceilings. Teeny-tiny rooms. And virtually no view of the lake.

After: A Perch for Beds
To open up the house, an architect removed the interior walls to create one large living area.
Down came the wood paneling and dropped ceiling, bringing to light the framework's studs, as well as cathedral-style roof beams. The homeowners capitalized on all that extra height by putting in a sleeping loft. The futons wear vintage plaid wool throw pillows, plus orange-striped alpaca by D. Bryant Archie. The blue-striped coverlets are from Coyuchi, the chevron runner by Madeline Weinrib.

This plain kitchen felt heavy with its dark wood and army of cabinets.

Embrace little imperfections. The homeowner relished the opportunity to swap laminate floors for hardwood—but saved more than $1,000 with grade 2 red oak, which shows natural flaws.
Create a "real room" feel. The wall of cabinets was replaced with a $200 hutch scored on Craigslist. The homeowner also hung a vintage chandelier, rewired for $45, to bring a sense of opulence to the space.

When the homeowners purchased this Fayette, Mississippi, home six years ago, it was uninhabitable.

The clients of the project, a young couple, are fond of fashion and love to travel.
“They wanted their apartment to look like a jewelry box — bright, unusual, filled with many interesting details,” says designer Anzhelika Levitskaya.

The original area of the apartment was only 41 sq.m. But the impressive ceiling height (4.9 m) made it possible to build a mezzanine floor, on which the bedroom and the future nursery were located. “At the same time, the main task was to hide the supporting structures. For example, one of them is hidden in a niche in the hallway, which is closed by a mirrored door and at first glance looks like an ordinary closet.”

The interior is inspired by designer Jonathan Adler's designs, combining classic details with metallic elements, textured textiles and bright colors. This is how moldings appeared on the walls, the floor was French herringbone parquet, and the ceiling was decorated with a stucco pattern.
"Decorative circles on the ceiling create an incredible atmosphere and make the room more spacious."

The main decoration of the living room is a stone false fireplace, which is framed on both sides by shelves up to the ceiling. Emerald sofas bring color to the interior. The upholstery echoes the hue of the kitchen fronts, visually tying the space together.

In the kitchen, special attention is drawn to the hood, which stretches from the ceiling through the entire wall.
To organically fit it into the interior, the box was decorated with gypsum panels. Despite the small area, the kitchen managed to accommodate a compact island, which also serves as a dining table.

On the second floor there is a bedroom and a future nursery. The rooms were separated by glass partitions to let maximum sunlight into the space. “The walls and ceiling in the bedroom are painted a single navy blue. So the space seems more spacious, ”adds the author of the project.

Many people dream of a big apartment, but it is far from always possible to furnish housing in a stylish and comfortable way.
For example, a bedroom may seem visually too "cold" and not conducive to relaxation.
How to make a room more comfortable
Large bed
Many would like to equip their bedroom with a king-size bed, but not everyone can afford such a luxury.
If you are lucky with the size of your bedroom, it is better to buy a large and comfortable bed.
Photo: © Belnovosti
Such an impressive resting place will make the bedroom more comfortable, designer Yulia Tychino, an expert of the BelNovosti online publication, believes.
Pleasant colors
If the bedroom is really big, you can visually highlight one of the walls with the help of decoration. As a rule, the choice falls on the area with the bed.
This technique will make the space very stylish and comfortable. It is worth choosing pleasant shades that will make the room visually warmer.
Carpet and other decor items
The only downside is that you have to buy a rug large enough for the decor item to have a positive effect on the atmosphere in the bedroom.
You should also focus on other decorative elements that help you relax.
