Small DIY projects can make a huge difference to the look and feel of your home design, but if you don't know where to start or what to try your hand at, read on as we have some brilliantly easy and cheap suggestions for you. 

We've taken inspiration from some of the best interior designers out there in a bid to help you get the designer look for less. Your kitchen, bedroom and, well, every room in your home is about to get a whole lot more beautiful!

Shall we get started?

1. Paint old fashioned suite items. This goes doubly for any of you with avocado bathrooms!

2. Use sticky-backed tiles to freshen up your kitchen in an instant, and without grout!

3. Paint kitchen cabinets, but remember that proper preparation of the surfaces is key

4. Swap out standard cabinet knobs for something a little more 'you'. You could even cast your own in resin

5. Stick down new vinyl flooring in your bathroom to instantly revive the room
