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. Try out The Novogratz's "Room in Box". Here's how it works: Shop the different room options and select the one that interests you. After you select, they'll ship you all of the things you need to recreate the look in the picture.
4. Throw some artificial monstera stems in a vase to add an instant fresh and stylish vibe. Bonus: there's zero watering on your part.
5. Apply peel-and-stick tile on your bathroom walls for a small but mighty transformation that won't set you back an entire paycheck.
6. 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.
7. Hang cage pendant lights above your bathroom sinks, nightstands, or really anywhere in your house that could use a little extra light (and charm!).
8. And! Use a very handy, recessed light conversion kit so you can finally hang those gorgeous pendant lights you've been eyeing.
9. And since you're now in the market for pendant lights, hang these vintage-style glass lights with some Edison bulbs for a sophisticated look that won't require a pricey renovation.
10. 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!
11. Switch things up on the exterior by giving your front door a fresh coat of paint. I mean, this rich blue door is 😍.
12. And! Hang a set of retro-looking address numbers because the outside of your home deserves some pizzazz, too.
13. 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.
14. 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!
15. 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!
16. Or if you want to really go all out, get a new bed spread — like say, this very sleek duvet cover with a modern, simple print.
17. 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!
18. 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.
19. Or if you want to go a little of the box, use them to make some freakin' cool pendant lights:
20. Get a roll of marble contact paper and go to town. Really — you can use this to transform countertops, furniture, picture frames, and the list goes on (and on...).
21. 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.*
22. Give any room some extra style *and* light with an eye-catching lamp. It gives charm and fills up surfaces, so if you have a corner that feels empty, grab this and an end table!
23. Add carriage-style magnets to your garage door to give it some undeniable charm that required veeery little work on your part.
24. 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.
25. 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?
26. Swap your bathroom sink faucet for a modern, waterfall one. It's a small job that'll make a big difference.
27. Apply copper tape around pictures frames or in an abstract design to give your gallery wall a simple but sweet update.
28. 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.
29. Swap any bulky furniture legs for something more modern and sleek. Your Ikea furniture is about to like it ~walked~ straight out of a West Elm catalog.
30. Or! 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:
31. Instead of literally knocking a wall down, add some pizzazz to its bareness by DIYing your own wood herringbone accent wall. A few tools and supplies is all you need to get this eye-catching look!
32. Try your hand at a cabinet painting kit, because a paint refresh is muuuuuuuch cheaper than ripping your cabinets out and replacing with new ones. A little TLC will do 'em good.
33. And! Swap out your pulls for some gold ones that'll add an undeniably fancy charm to them, whether you install them on kitchen cabinets or a wardrobe dresser.
34. Create a fun design anywhere you want a statement by using a wall or floor stencil and some paint. Why does my laundry room not look like this...?
35. Get creative with removable botanical wallpaper beyond just covering an entire wall. Use it in framed paneling (ahem, product #1 in this list!!!) or as the backdrop for your closet shelves like some chic designer store.
36. Use a brick whitewash paint if you've been wanting a modern farmhouse vibe, but your current situation is screaming more '70s with its brown and yellow color palette.
37. Hang a new chandelier — like this COOL pick — to bring some funky mid-mod energy into your dining room. Something this fun will become an instant focal point, or in other words, be a super easy way to give a room an entirely new personality.
38. Add some va-va voooom and depth to big empty walls with pre-made wall panels. With these, you can achieve the professional molding look everyone is mastering on TikTok with even *less* work. Just a little nail gun action and some glue (OK, and some measuring), and you'll have this look in no time.
39. Bring in some charm to any room with a bold rug in a fun print or textured pattern. This simple add is a great way to create some personality to an empty space.
40. Go beyond just a light fixture and add a ceiling medallion that'll bring some major royal energy. I am pretty sure everyone danced under ceiling medallions in the many balls of Bridgerton...
41. Use stick-on lights to add some major oomph to your cabinets. These in your kitchen, pantry, bathroom — a simple yet impactful upgrade.
42. And add outdoor sconces for some modern ~ambience~. So suave.
Now, go make Chip and Joanna proud.
