    34 Little DIY Projects That'll Go A Loooooong Way In Your Home

    And when you're done, make sure to give us the MTV Cribs tour.

    1. Upcycle your furniture and add rattan cane webbing to any cupboard, bookshelf, or console (the options are endless, really) for the boho transformation of your dreams. I mean, just look at how that outdoor couch turned out! 😍

    2. Hang a cool chandelier that'll have guests constantly looking up in admiration. The funky, post-modern design (although it kind of looks like a DNA model, doesn't it?) will earn tons of compliments.

    3. Create a new design with mandala stencils to take any wall, floor, fireplace, or kitchen counter to new level. I love when DIYing is *this* easy.

    4. Take a creative approach to removable botanical wallpaper because it doesn't just have to be used to cover a wall. It looks gorge in framed paneling (#7 on this list 😉) and can transform a dull closet into a green fortress.

    5. Grab a cabinet painting kit for a much easier (and cheaper) option when you're in need of a kitchen makeover.

    6. And then replace your boring old handles with shiny brass ones to add the perfect finishing touch. These handles come in a pack of 10, so you can even use a few in the bathroom or on a wardrobe dresser, too.

    7. Transform empty walls with pre-made wall panels. They'll give any wall some extra depth, but we particularly love the idea in a stairway, entry way, or on the sides of a kitchen island. All you need it a nail gun action, glue, and a few minutes to spare.

    8. Get the fancy, hotel vibe with under-cabinet lights that'll be useful when prepping dinner, and also give your kitchen a more elevated look.

    9. Easily add some peel-and-stick wallpaper if you want beautiful Mediterranean details throughout your home. It looks *just* like real tile, but is a fraction of the price. And this on stairs? Genius!

    10. Install a modern wooden ceiling lampshade for an easy way to switch things up and add some style to any room in your home.

    11. And if you want to get really fancy, add a ceiling medallion too. It'll take any light fixture from boring to boss like *that*.

    12. Use a pressure washer to restore your deck and fence. It can generate up to 2030 psi — that's powerful enough to wash away years of gunk on decks, the exterior of houses, driveways, and more.

    13. And make sure stain and steal when you're done! With sealant like this semi-transparent one, the wood will be protected from the elements and look good much longer.

    14. Make your home's exterior pop with a fresh coat of front door paint. IMO, the bolder the better but refreshing a classic neutral is never a bad move either.

    15. Put up a chic gallery wall to fill that empty space in the living room. This set is complete with nine different pieces of art (you choose the sizes) that match without looking exactly alike. You'll get some real variety and can arrange however you like!

    16. Make your backyard or balcony a chic (and comfy!) chill zone with this three-piece outdoor bistro set. It includes two chairs, a matching table, and the perfect blend of boho and modern design.

    17. Add stained-glass window decals on your windows. They're great for privacy, but also for having constant rainbows and positive energy in your home. When the sun hits your window, the entire room will make you smile.

    18. Use sheer curtains to limit the harsh sun without totally darkening a room. The light color brightens and heightens a space in the best way.

    19. Make a statement with a rainbow wall decal. It'll look like it was actually painted on, when in reality you can remove it easy-peasy (don't worry, I won't tell your guests if you don't). Some reviewers even use it as a headboard and I love that idea!

    20. Revamp your kitchen or bathroom with *very* realistic peel-and-stick subway tile. Trust me, it's much easier, cheaper, and faster than re-tiling one by one (hard pass).

    21. Get some garage magnets for what may be the easiest transformation on the list. Just stick it on the door and voilà !

    22. Bring dated countertops into the new era with stone-effect spray paint. Skip the expensive Home Depot trip and get to paintin'!

    23. Relax in your ~shaded~ backyard after you hang up this sail canopy. No more hot pavements and bad tans, just cold drinks and great vibes. Sounds perfect!

    24. Turn your old and dusty fireplace into something brand new with brick whitewash paint. Its perfect if you're itching for a modern farmhouse look without a modern farmhouse budget.

    25. Grab some marble contact paper and use it literally everywhere! Not kidding, this looks good on nightstands, countertops, picture frames, bar carts — the list is never ending.

    26. Or for a more dramatic look, try this crocodile peel-and-stick wallpaper to have all the cool and spooky vibes you could ask for. Furniture, walls, it knows no limits!

    27. Hang cage pendant lights for a (nearly) effortlessly chic look and a little extra lighting above your kitchen islands, bathroom sinks, and more.

    28. And don't forget to install a recessed light conversion kit, a super handy item that makes hanging up said pendant lights possible.

    29. Make your patio a little more cozy with an outdoor rug. It's like having an outdoor living room, and who wouldn't want that?

    30. Install interlocking teak tiles to transform your normal, everyday shower into a spa oasis. And the best part? They work great outside too, which means you've also got your very own backyard retreat. You may never want to leave home!

    31. To keep the good ambience going, add some outdoor sconces for when you want to hang outside even after the sun goes down.

    32. Hang a beautiful handmade and hand dyed macrame tapestry to fill the bare space above the couch, the bed, or in the halls. The blue-hued mountainscape-like design will feel perfectly serene anywhere you decide to put it.

    33. Up your bathroom game with a stainless-steel rainfall shower head that'll transform your bathroom in the best way. Who said you can't have bougie, spa-level showers every day?

    34. And lastly, grab some broken mosaic tiles to add a funky and colorful flare to bland and boring furniture. I'm already picturing this on my side table and I'm stoked!
