Interior Design — This Small Space Makeover Is Full Of DIY & Budget-Friendly Ideas!

Decorator Emilia Wisniewski of Studio 1NINE1 shares a small home transformation that she completed on a budget. See how she used paint and DIYs to create a fun, colorful space for her client, complete with a stunning two-tone kitchen and craft room!

Emilia replaced the windows in the living room to let more natural light in, and added custom wall panelling for a luxurious look. (Not as much of a splurge as you might think!) A grey tufted sofa, marble coffee table and glass console work beautifully with playful, patterned throw pillows. In the office and craft room, palm print wallpaper offers wow factor, while custom built-ins provide additional storage. Blue lower cabinets and spray-painted hardware revamped the kitchen. In the bedroom, Emilia used custom barn doors to conceal closets and layer character into the space.

This is the second amazing makeover I've seen from this designer. She really knows how to stretch a dollar and transform spaces. I'd totally hire her.

This is one of the best transformations of a small space on your channel to date. The entire home feels fresh and modern and airy.

I love the fact that you changed the windows so that they open. After working in one of the downtown towers with windows that did not open - that is a fix that was the most important, in my humble opinion. The whole apartment is beautiful and your client did a wonderful job paining the cabinet doors. Love the colours. Everything is gorgeous!

I love that designer's work and personality. Bring her back.

Love the designer she knows her stuff. A lot of designers will really try and push your budget. Bravo!

I loved this video. The designer, "recreating this space was a challenge" as she said. But, she worked with the clients budget, and it came together beautifully, love it all!!

Lovely transformation.... and love how the designer collaborated with the owner to extend the impact of the budget through DIY projects.

I looove this and Emilia is so cute! The "drab to fab" moment killed me. Amazing!!

[mybestideas]

Love this designer, fantastic job. I have an exactly the same kitchen and it is lovely to see that it was not ripped out and instead was reused.

This might be one of the best one I have seen in awhile. Usually it's either super expensive or just all ikea furnitures (which you can pick yourself and don't need a designer for)..I love this.

[DeShawnHatcher]

MORE MORE MORE OF PROJECTS LIKE and thank you for finally telling the budget.

The drab to fab line delivery was so cute :) Amazing job on the makeover.

[cheekyoziechick]

When money is tight..it makes you think more wisely and I am blown away by what was achieved. It did go from drab to fab!! What a great challenge that payed off.

[Loissupes]

Honestly, I love that you gave a budget here. This really helps me to understand what to expect in cost. I hope you continue to do this.

[angelbaby]

I can’t believe she did all of this at that price point! Amazing job and it’s not boring like a lot of the remodels I see with all of the creams and whites. Color.

[majorblues]

This is a super cute/comfy/pretty space. I love everything about it!

[niyab]

You guys "ROCKED" this do-over!!! I'm really digging the small details that are such a major "WOW" factor! Simply beautiful and amazing...

[zuiilaa]

Love love love. This is so much better than the hotel home design I just watched. When you have a budget it really forces one to be creative which in turn creates something beautiful.
