As a DIY renovator, transform your space on a budget with these tips:
1. **Paint refresh**: A fresh coat on walls and doors costs under $50 and instantly brightens rooms.
2. **Hardware swap**: Update cabinet knobs or door handles for $20–$30 to modernize kitchens and baths.
3. **Peel-and-stick backsplash**: Add style to kitchens for $10–$20 without demo.
4. **Floating shelves**: Install for $15 to maximize storage and display.
5. **Crown molding**: Use peel-and-stick for $20/room to add elegance.
Budget for 10–20% extras for surprises. Shop sales and repurpose items for big impact!
