Updating the look of your home brings new life into the space and makes your surroundings more comfortable. You don't have to invest a fortune to make your home look like new. Many of these easy home DIY projects are less than $100 and only take a weekend of your time.
Paint Your Vinyl Floors
Worn vinyl floors can make a room look dated. Rather than investing in new floor coverings — which can be expensive and require special skills to install — consider painting the floors instead. With just a couple of quarts of latex porch and floor paint, you can give your old vinyl floors a modern look.

Add Faux Windows to Your Garage Door
Windows on a garage give your home an elegant look. However, there are some drawbacks, including people looking into your garage and the cost of replacing your garage door or adding real windows to an existing door. With black outdoor paint, painter's tape and patience, you can add faux windows to your garage in a weekend.

Make Hot Pads from River Pebbles
If you love the idea of adding natural elements to your home, hot pads made from river pebbles add a nice touch. Collect smooth and flat river stones or purchase them from a craft store to ensure even sizes and hot glue them to a board. Place it on your kitchen counter to hold hot pots and pans while you're cooking.

Frame Your Television
A television hanging on a wall is functional but not very attractive. It sticks out from the wall and the cords are easily visible from the sides, making your TV room or living room appear cluttered. Adding a frame around the flat screen television gives it a cleaner and more elegant look.

Paint Your Air Vents
Your air vents might be an afterthought once you've just completed a huge home renovation or decoration project. Rather than investing in new air vents, use metallic spray paint to make them look like new. Spend some time scrubbing them clean first. One can of primer and quality metallic paint will cover 10 air vents, making them look like new for just a couple of dollars.
Plank a Wall for a Rustic Look
A plank wall is a great way to give a room a rustic look with minimal investment. It does involve measuring and cutting, but it's fairly straightforward. Fence boards are just the right size to use on the wall. Secure them with nails and adhesive, then paint, whitewash or stain the boards to give them the finished look you're going for.

Build Floating Shelves
Floating shelves are a decorative way to add storage space to virtually any room of the house — even the rooms that have limited space. This type of shelving frees up valuable space on the floor and has hidden hardware to give it a clean look. Building floating shelves is as simple as affixing the wooden planks to the wall.

Turn a Closet into an Office
You don't have to have a walk-in closet to turn a closet into another room. Remove the door(s) and the hanging rods. Install a deep shelf at desk height and two shallow shelves for storage above. You now have a workspace that doesn't take up additional space in your room. If you don't have a need for an office, this makes a great space for your vanity.
Strip Paint from Door Hardware
Homes that have had several paint jobs — especially older homes — have old layers of paint caked on the door hardware. Rather than investing in new hardware, you can bring the old antique hardware back to life. In a slow cooker, add water and a small bit of dish detergent. Drop the old hardware in and let it soak overnight on medium heat. By morning, it will look like new and be ready to go back on the doors.

Update the Kitchen Backsplash
Cutting and installing tile is a project not many people are comfortable taking on for a weekend. A backsplash can really update the look of your kitchen. Peel-and-stick gel tile sheets are a quick and easy kitchen DIY project that has a long-lasting and professional look.
19A small bathroom must contain all the elements of a large bath in less space. That's why planning a new one or remodeling the existing room is so challenging. When every inch count, here's what to consider for your remodel and our favorite small bathroom ideas to draw inspiration from.
How Do You Remodel a Small Bathroom?
You have to think about the function, appearance, fixtures and storage—along with how much room you have.
Structural Considerations and Requirements
A full bath requires a minimum of 36 to 40 sq. ft. The finished room must measure at least 5 ft. in one direction to accommodate a tub. Building codes typically require 32x32 in. (finished dimensions) for a shower; if you have the space, larger is better. Just make sure the shower is large enough so you can comfortably raise your arms and bend over in the space.
No matter how small a bathroom will be, it must include certain items. Ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) are required by code to protect receptacles in wet areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens. GFCIs quickly break the circuit, which can prevent a potentially fatal shock from a blow-dryer or electric shaver.
Install Low-Flow Toilets
Low-flow toilets, which use 1.6 gallons of water per flush, are required by law in all new and remodeled baths. Pressure-assisted toilets effectively clear the bowl with one flush, but make considerable noise in the process. Gravity models sometimes require two flushes to clean the bowl properly.
For maximum efficiency, choose a bowl with a large water surface. Make sure there's sufficient space around the toilet for comfortable access—ideally, at least 16 inches from the centerline of the toilet and walls or fixtures on either side. Also allow at least 30 inches from the front of the toilet to the nearest object.
Ensure Proper Ventilation
Proper ventilation will prevent moisture from getting trapped in the bathroom, which can lead to mold and mildew growth. Extract moisture by installing a ducted exhaust fan on a timer. Most timers allow you to set the fan for 15 to 60 minutes to remove heat, steam and condensation. Choose a fan according to the cubic feet per minute of air it moves.
Use Task-Specific and Ambient Lighting
Adequate lighting is needed for all forms of grooming. Include task-specific and ambient, or general, light. Multiple recessed ceiling fixtures are all but invisible and eliminate the locker-room look of a single ceiling-mounted fixture. Include a light fixture above the tub and/or in the shower. Avoid fluorescent lights, which alter the color of your complexion.
15 Small Bathroom Ideas
Check out these 15 easy ways to make your small bathroom feel more spacious and inviting.
1. Install a Pocket Door

Rather than opening inward, pocket doors slide inside the wall on a track. This creates more usable space in the bathroom by eliminating the need to accommodate a door swinging inward.
2. Try a Glass Shower

Clear glass shower doors create the illusion of more space by eliminating visual barriers.
3. Save Space with the Toilet
There are several ways to save room through your choice of toilet. The first is to opt for a wall-hung unit, where the tank is hidden inside the 2x6 stud wall, allowing for 9 inches of extra space in the center of the room. Another option is to create a wall niche for your toilet, which will reduce its footprint
4. Add Bigger Windows for More Light

Give a dark bath the look of a spa-like solarium by enlarging an existing window. It can only help highlight all the hard work you put into the bath's other details. Or, where feasible, consider installing a skylight to visually expand the space and bring a little luxury in at the same time.
5. Opt-In or Out on Pedestal Sinks

Pedestal sinks can saver or waste space depending on the arrangement and storage options of your bathroom. If you want to open up floor space, they're an excellent choice. However, they don't offer the storage that vanity cabinets provide. If your bathroom lacks storage but you have your heart set on a pedestal sink, include open shelves or a tile-lined niche behind or adjacent to it. Alternatively, consider using cabinetry 16 or 18 inches deep, instead of the usual 21 inches, to maximize your floor plan.
6. Work with Large Mirrors

In small spaces, the lighter, the better. For a clean look with minimal visual clutter, opt for a single large mirror.
7. Employ Optical Illusions to Enhance Space

Large-scale graphic prints can make a space feel more substantial and simultaneously add visual impact. Black and white checkerboard tile stretches out the narrow design of a small bath. Give your bath graphic appeal by laying geometric-patterned tiling the floor, or painting a checkerboard pattern on a wood floor.
8. Install a Space-Saving Small Sink

A sink is one of the areas where you can sacrifice some space, especially in a powder room. A wall-mounted miniature version may even become your favorite fixture.
9. Bump Up the Size With Sophisticated Paneling
Draw the eye upward when all else fails in visually enlarging a small bath. Installed vertically or horizontally, shiplap style paneling can distract from a bath's tiny footprint and amplify the room's design cred. Reclaimed boards—or newly claimed ones—can make for handsome wainscoting or paneling in a postage stamp-size bath.
10. Create Clever Built-in Bath Storage

Eradicate the need for cumbersome storage furniture by building in bureaus that blend in beautifully with the vanity. Or, look behind the mirror for extra storage with medicine cabinets built with hideaway storage space.
11. Rely on Horizontal Lines

Horizontal stripes are a no-brainer for visually widening a room. This classic paint job can transform a small bath with a few gallons in an afternoon. If you don't want to make the entire room striped, opt for an attractive accent wall instead.
12. Make a Romantic All-Black Bath
Squeeze a lot of (the good kind of) drama into your tiny bath by going for an all-black decorating scheme. Just give your eye the chance to rest with other colors like a white pedestal sink and deep red claw-foot tub.
13. Try a Tiled Vanity Top
Ditch the usual bath countertop suspects and go for a tiled vanity top. It's budget-friendly and adds an extra touch of interest in a tight space.
14. Have a Chair Rail Double as Shelving
Make room for attractive, frequently used items—and a display object or two—by installing a generous chair rail atop wainscoting in the room.
15. Embrace Shaped Tiles

Guarantee that every visitor will forget your home's small bath by cladding your bathroom's walls in beautiful shaped tiles that depart from the expected total wall coverage is too extreme, go for a tile wainscot or accent wall to add some drama.
Brush up on all the details surrounding this bargain bathroom rehab option.
Gone are the days when your only option for refreshing dingy, dated, or plain-Jane bathroom tile was to rip it out and replace it. Today, commercial paints formulated for use on tile make it possible to restore the look of your tile floors, walls, and other bathroom surfaces—or lend them a new one altogether—with little more than a can! Simple as it sounds, painting bathroom tile shouldn't start without first evaluating key project considerations and constraints. Below, we've outlined the six things to know before you even pick out a paint color.
Painting bathroom tile is much cheaper than retiling.
You've heard it before: Paint is an economical material. Unsurprisingly, then, it's the most budget-friendly way to refresh bathroom tile that isn't cracked, crumbling, or otherwise structurally compromised. Frugal do-it-yourselfers can spend as little as $100 to paint 100 square feet. Meanwhile, depending on the tile material, a DIY retiling can cost anywhere from $100 to $1,500 for a typical bathroom floor measuring 35 to 100 square feet. Retiling a tub surround or walls of a shower stall between 9 and 13 square feet, too? That'd be another $400 to $1,300, according to the online planning tool, CostHelper.com. Solid-colored tile in bargain materials like ceramic falls at the lower end of these price ranges, while patterned tile in premium materials like marble falls at the higher end—as much as 15 times the cost! Patterns in painted tile floors, on the other hand, would only cost you double or triple the expenses for materials (depending on how many colors) and time.

It affords endless looks.
Popular bathroom tile materials—ceramic, porcelain (a subset of ceramic tile), natural stone (marble, travertine, slate, granite, or limestone), and quarry tile—are sold in a number of solid colors or patterns. Still, those preset styles might not suit the design of your bathroom, go out of fashion after you've installed them, or, be simply too cost-prohibitive to install. With paint, you can lighten, darken, or apply a pattern of your own design to your tile to fit any bathroom aesthetic, from a retro checkerboard pattern to a cool and contemporary geometric design. And, should your style change in three years, you can easily repaint.
Keep in mind that brighter paint colors are a better option for space-limited bathrooms; darker paint absorbs light and can have the effect of making a small bath look more constricted.

It's not practical to paint tile on all bathroom surfaces.
With the exception of glazed quarry tile (which doesn't bond well with paint), you can apply paint to most popular types of tile: ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, or even un-glazed quarry tile. But your paint job will last the longest on tiled bathroom surfaces that receive low to moderate exposure to moisture—think bathroom floors (outside the immediate vicinity of the tub), walls, and backsplashes. Tiled countertops, tub surrounds, or shower surfaces, while paintable, aren't as practical surfaces for this treatment in the long-term because the paint is more likely to prematurely fade, peel, or blister with regular exposure to water. That said, if you are on board for frequent touch-ups or re-application until your budget allows for a full bathroom remodel, this fix might be just the ticket!

It's crucial to pick a paint that's right for the tile material and bathroom surface.
Ceramic, porcelain, and unglazed quarry tile can take either latex or epoxy paint in one-part (pre-mixed) or two-part (ready-to-mix) varieties formulated for interior use. Latex paint ($10 to $30 per gallon) is generally less smelly and toxic. Unless you choose a pricier mildew-proof variety, though, it readily weathers with heavy moisture exposure and therefore should be saved for bathroom floors or walls. For the "splash zones" of backsplashes, countertops, tub surrounds, and shower surfaces, epoxy paint ($20 to $35 per gallon) does the trick. This type of paint cures into a harder, more durable coat that boasts more resistance to moisture, heat, and everyday wear-and-tear than its latex counterpart. You might look for a well-reviewed two-part epoxy specifically designed for specifically for tubs and tiles, like this Rust-Oleum refinishing kit—available on Amazon and elsewhere—that's been reviewed nearly 2,000 times.
Natural stone tiles, on the other hand, need an acrylic latex paint formulated for interior masonry or stucco ($20 to $35 per gallon). All of these paints come in a full spectrum of sheens ranging from flat to high-gloss. The glossier the finish, the more slippery the painted tile will be. Flat and matte sheens afford the most traction underfoot, while semi-gloss and high-gloss sheens offer the least, a disadvantage on already slip-prone surfaces like shower floors.

It can put your bathroom out of commission for a weekend or longer.
The task of painting bathroom tile can be divided into five stages: surface preparation, priming, painting, pattern application, and sealing. Total time spent on the project will depend on the dry time of the primers, paints, and sealers you're using; the complexity of the pattern you're applying; and the extent of the project, be it a few accent tiles on the backsplash or the whole wall. Here's what you can expect:
Surface preparation entails sanding, vacuuming, and then scrubbing the tile and grout lines to remove dirt and grime.
Priming the tile is essential to making the tile more receptive to paint. Use epoxy or urethane primer for ceramic or porcelain tile (view example on Amazon), masonry primer for natural stone or unglazed quarry tile (view example on The Home Depot). Read and adhere to the primer's instructions for dry time—you won't want to cover something that's sticky.
Painting the bathroom tile can involve either rolling color onto large swaths of tile at a time or brushing individual tiles by first "cutting in" around the edges. The latter method would rely on an angled brush and a steady, precise hand in order to avoid sullying grout lines or neighboring tiles, and that can drag out the process. If you're doing more than a few accent tiles this way, plan accordingly. Then, while the paint dries over the next two or more days, you'll need to avoid touching or walking on it.
Applying pattern to the fully-cured tiles typically entails taping a store-bought or homemade stencil to the tiles you want to pattern, then rolling over the stencil with a roller cover saturated in the same paint you used for the tile. Again, wait out the full dry time.
Finally, sealing the painted bathroom tile protects your project from grime, scuff marks, and scratches. Your clear sealer (urethane sealer for ceramic or porcelain, or masonry sealer for natural stone or quarry tile) also has a dry time you'll want to factor into your planning. Only after you've waited the full time should you begin to use the bathroom. All in all, you could be looking at a project that puts the bathroom out of order anywhere from two days to several days. And, when you're thinking about putting fresh paint on floors, you can't even get away with walking into the bathroom to grab whatever facewash you unintentionally left behind, so be sure to take all the essentials out with you before you start!
It needs minimal maintenance.
It doesn't take much but regular sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping the sealed painted tile with a store-bought or homemade tile cleaner that's tailored to your tile in order to retain its color and fend off abrasive dirt. However, laying mats in high-traffic areas and floor pads below furnishings on the tile can prevent scuff marks or impressions from marring the paint job. If blemishes do appear in the paint job, simply use an artist's paintbrush and your leftover paint to make touch-ups, then allow it to dry completely before re-sealing that portion.
