The pandemic had a massive impact on the way we see our lives and many of us had to make the shift to working or schooling remotely. Constantly sitting at the same desk or looking at the same wall can leave us feeling sick and tired.

With over 1.6M followers, it's a massive gallery showing how to completely transform your house, backyard, or even your van. Full of entertaining videos and the most breathtaking renovations, it's the place to look for different styles and cool interior ideas.

It wouldn't really tell us much. Prices vary by country and even by city; how do you value your own time; etc. Sometimes it's just nice to enjoy the transformation :)

I think this was done quite cheaply - brown paint on the right, pallet wall in the rear with plants (can't tell if real or artificial) basic 2 seat sofa, and bench with few plants in pots to left & right and some string lights - very good conversion on a budget

Home renovation platform Houzz suggests that Americans are fixing up their properties in record numbers, based on a survey of more than 70,000 people. It means that the pandemic lockdowns and lack of activities made people invest in makeover projects. According to Houzz, 53% of surveyed homeowners reported renovating their houses or apartments and most of their work focused on kitchens, office spaces, and outdoor areas.

In 2020, people spent 15% more on renovation projects. This could have something to do with people being able to save more money as well as an increase in the price of labor and materials. Travel restrictions and business shutdowns that happened during the pandemic caused shortages in many fields and the costs just skyrocketed.

36% of respondents said it was because they finally had the financial means to move forward and 44% said they moved ahead because they actually had the time to do them.

    If you wish to make a change to your surroundings, there's quite a few things to consider. As Lindsay T. Graham, a researcher at the Center for the Built Environment in UC Berkeley, said, “Our homes can be incredibly important tools for shaping our daily experiences.” So first, you should think about what you like and don't like about your place. Graham mentioned that the way our homes are organized, decorated, and furnished can evoke a varied palette of feelings.

    Secondly, see if you have too much clutter in your home. It can increase your stress levels so you should try to get it under control. It's a visual reminder of the things you still have to do, so decluttering will help you feel more at ease at the end of the day.

    It is, though. they put the lower sections, the one with the big window and glass-door in front of the old structure (you can see the differently-colored bricks) and put up a section on the roof to match the one to the right side. Look at the windows and the piping towards the roof - you can see where the old house is 'hiding'.

    All places service a 😻 places for war victims of the military families All involved are very happy to hear from you and I'm happy to hear that you can drop 📴 Private places back on too many people that I have come across in my paths of inspirations. I truly didn't think anybody was watching me help other people on my breaks of doing my job here and there and everywhere around the world I thought that no one cared enough or loved enough I was going through a rough time going to the places I went to war and the only way to let out my anger and frustration and not hurt people I love was to just disappear for too weeks at a time from my position of being medic the helping medic. With very little penny back in the day when you join the military you didn't get bonuses or a whole lot of money you can't respect honor integrity love and Hope.

    Paint job, new roof, probably new windows, but it's hard to tell with the picture quality. But the fact is that just adding the railing to the balcony really changes the facade of the house, it adds dimension and the dream of a lovely elevated place to hang out.

    The windows upstairs look as though they were replaced, and doors were added where the middle window was, to allow balcony access.

    Also, color therapy can affect your mood and physical health. While reds and oranges might require your eye to adjust and help boost your energy, blues and greens require very little adjustment and are considered more restful. As Graham explained, you can “level out” the energy in your house accordingly, but keep in mind that everyone finds different tones soothing.

    I've actually come to despise people who live in these kind of things (camper vans,RV's etc) , in my hometown there is an area that has a surprising amount of wildlife, and even some endangered species of flower/butterfly that are on the national protection list afaik, but literally like.. 60 vans etc will show up on an evening, light fires, s**t and piss everywhere, litter etc... and they are completely ruining the area, depleting it of its nature.

    We spend so much time in our homes that we can forget the kind of impact it has on our mindset. There's a new trend that's taken the interior design world by storm and it's called comfort decorating. It's all about choosing furniture, artwork, and the basic feel of your place based on coziness and familiarity, not on aesthetics.

    According to Apartment Therapy, the past years have changed the way people see their living spaces and they advise to look inward for decorating inspiration. Grace Dowd, an Austin-based therapist said that “it’s more important than ever to fill your space with things that make you feel like yourself, even if they’re not ‘Insta-worthy.’”

    I prefer my closets to have to doors so I can hide everything. But I noticed the shelves to the sides. That seems like a good use of that space that's often so deep that you can't really get to it.

    I wonder if this was a spare room closet to begin with. The storage in the new closet is very nicely organized, but there doesn't seem to be a full wardrobe in there. I am trying to reduce my wardrobe by at least a third, but what I have left still wouldn't fit in this closet . . . I don't even think I could fit the third of the stuff I removed in this. I also agree about the closet doors. Its lovely to look at while it's brand new like this, but what about when the clothing stacks get messy, and you start adding stuff you acquire.

    It's at least longer. The covered part at the back was a white wall in the before photo. Look at the left wall and window as reference. Also, there's a wooden wall (a room? A place to keep things?) that we see in the left front, in before, that disappears on the afyer, giving more space to the yard.

    I normally love this palette, but in this setting it doesn't really work for me. The kitchen is too... gray... I guess, it looks cold. I love the black entry way, but the thing behind the couch doesn't work for me either... prison vibes. Incitatus says it looks like a basement, and I think maybe that's the vibe I'm getting too.

    Whether it's an old teddy bear, a family heirloom or a seashell you brought back from your vacation, it's important that it would remind you who you are. As you can guess, nostalgia is one of the key aspects of comfort decorating. If you choose objects that evoke feelings rather than look good, it gives your surroundings meaning and lets you get away from the difficult reality we have today.

    You are way off. That Viking 48” Dual Fuel range alone is $17,000. The quartz wrap for the island runs $75-$150 per square foot. The built-in refrigerator, probably a Subzero or Viking, another $9,000. Tens of thousands for the custom pecan cabinet work. Expensive travertine backsplash. Designer pendant lighting. Expensive tile floor. Add in labor and contractor cost-plus, I would guess that’s a $100,000+ kitchen makeover.

    I wonder if that was underneath. I helped renovate an 1800s house in London and when we did the stairs we found a) three layers of carpet, each one just put over the other, and b) when we scraped off the horrible brown enamel paint from the railing, it was SOLID MAHOGANY. They covered up all kinds of things in the 1950s and 1960s; mind-blowing. We found other treasures too, like tilework around fireplaces under paint or even plaster.

    According to the original post, that absolutely stunning tile floor was under that disgusting carpet. A little rough for wear and time, but what a restoration! Glorious! And the art glass? You'd pay thousands upon thousands for that workmanship today. My hat's off to the design team, the craftspeople and trades involved, and of course the homeowners.

    But comfort decorating should not be only about nostalgia. If a thing makes you feel good or brings pleasure to the five senses, it's reason enough to keep it: “Running your fingers along that tattered quilt or even smelling it can ground you in the present moment, which can help to alleviate anxiety about the past or future,” says Dowd.

    So if you didn't even start renovating but already feel overwhelmed, Before&After Design is a great place to look for inspiration. And just remember, in the end, your room does not have to be unrealistically perfect, it should be filled with things that make you feel good about yourself.

    A container is only strong structurally with its original shape, with the expectation that you stack them directly on top of each other. The moment you start cutting big holes in them and having them hang off each other like this... you have to put a whole bunch of effort and materials into reinforcing them, which ends up making the whole thing cost more than if you just built something new out of wood or brick or whatever.

    The skylight is the best thing about the redo, it creates space and light where it was cramped. I'm not mad about the decoration, but that could be changed, while the skylight is going to be there as long as the house.

    I was a guest in a house that had a huge bathroom like this. People, when you go to take a shower, you freeze to death. It was wintertime and all that tile made the room freezing cold. Unlike a smaller bathroom, the steam from the shower didn't warm the room. Personally, I would never want a bathroom that huge.

    I love the small changes in the front. Stronger looking wood columns, remove the awning, etc. The disappearing walls work better if the desk extends about ten feet so they'd be extending the living space. Here it just drops off. I love the windows in the upper story in back.

    Looks like the stairs went all the way down to the glass before. I think they ripped them out and rebuilt them on the other side so that they'd fall short, creating a small living room near the glass.

    It wouldn't be so bad had they left the ceiling white.

    This is bad. Sorry, because it also looks expensive.

    Floors - too hard to keep clean; will show every speck of dirt.

    Quite shiny and cold. New Vegas aesthetic?

    If you need all that storage space then you need to de-clutter

    But... but the before was GREAT! Maybe remove a few things here and there and redo the paint but overall, I love it

    I think they extended the original house. Looks ugly either way and doesn't fit in with the surrounding buildings.

    How did it get longer and a completely different shape? Did they just knock down the whole house and rebuild?

    They built a house over their house.

    I think it's an indoor cinema! Which is super cool, imo. Just needs more seats.

    I'm really not a fan of the wallpaper. Too many colors and it's too busy.
