1. Give dull wood surfaces some vibrancy back by going over them with a miracle polish. It'll add a layer of protection while restoring its luster.
2. Swap those boring ol' light switch and outlet plates for new vintage-style covers. This is the kind of minimal effort I am looking for.
3. Throw some artificial monstera stems in a vase to add an instant fresh and stylish vibe. Bonus: there's zero watering on your part.
4. Apply peel-and-stick tile on your bathroom walls for a small but mighty transformation that won't set you back an entire paycheck.
5. You can even use peel-and-stick tile as a great kitchen backsplash dupe that'll look like you dropped a good chunk of cash and time for the real thing.
6. Hang cage pendant lights above your bed, nightstands, or really anywhere in your house that could use a little extra light (and charm!).
7. And use a very handy, recessed light conversion kit so you can finally hang those gorgeous pendant lights you've been eyeing.
8. Create a DIY art ledge by hanging narrow shelves on a smaller wall so it draws the eye across the room making it look bigger. Plus, it gives you a place to show off your favorite photos!
9. Switch things up on the exterior by giving your front door a fresh coat of paint. I mean, this rich blue door is 😍.
10. And! Hang a set of retro-looking address numbers because the outside of your home deserves some pizzazz, too.
11. Finally add some plants (yes, real ones) in those gloomy low-light areas. Bloomscape will even **deliver** you gorgeous, potted greens based off of your plant-parenting skills.
12. Add frosted films to windows and other glass surfaces so you can enjoy some dang privacy without having to rely on bulky curtains. It also looks so great on display cabinets!
13. Create a new bed and couch aesthetic by changing the look of your pillows with these pom-pom pillow covers. It's such a simple thing, but it makes all the difference!
14. Or if you want to really go all out, get a new bed spread — like say, this very sleek duvet cover with a modern, geometric print.
15. Hang up a multifunctional shelf that's A) actually stylish, B) versatile enough for the kitchen or bathroom, and C) easy wall decor. It even comes with hooks for utensils!
16. Plop your sweet plant child in a trendy seagrass basket. There's no need to repot and spill soil everywhere to upgrade your plant's home.
17. Or if you want to go a little of the box, use them to make some freakin' cool pendant lights:
18. Trade in any heavy-linen curtains for a sheer option because it'll heighten the room while also brightening up the space. Just peep this living room! *Swoons.*
19. Add carriage-style magnets to your garage door to give it some undeniable charm that required veeery little work on your part.
20. Breathe some life back into dated furniture with a couple coats of chalk paint. Chalk paint adheres well to furniture, so it only requires a bit of prep work on your end.
21. And! Use a giant stencil to create an eye-catching art piece so you can quit asking yourself, what the heck do I put on this wall?
22. Replace any nasty, worn out mini trashcans with this sleek option. It's so affordable, you could get one for a few rooms around the house!
23. And! Swap your bathroom sink faucet for a modern, waterfall one. It's a small job that'll make a big difference.
24. Show off those family portraits by *easily* creating a gallery wall. This frame set includes a template so you'll have some extra help when it comes to the actual hanging part. Phew.
25. OR! Leave it up to the professionals and have your best photos matted, framed, and sent to you with different templates so you can perfectly hang them.
26. Apply copper tape around pictures frames or in an abstract design to give your gallery wall a simple but sweet update.
27. Add a hanging macrame chair in an empty corner for some boho glam you'll never get tired of. Just think of all the great books you'll read in this thing.
28. Upgrade all of your cabinet hardware with trendy pulls and knobs. It'll refresh your bathroom, kitchen, or furniture without having to do any major renovations.
29. And lastly, upcycle and add height to old furniture by changing out the legs for hairpin legs. I seriously can't stop staring at this before and after:
Now, go make Chip and Joanna proud.
