Now, with Youtube videos for guidance, DIY has never been easier and more available to everyone.

Need some inspiration? We here at Bored Panda have compiled a list of our favorite room renovations, and some of them are so amazing you won't they are actually the same space. Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and vote for your favorite transformations!

Remolded My Master Bath
This kind of huge mirror makes me unconfortable in a bathroom, yet, with the wall you removed, it brings much more light and the room seems so much bigger

I really love so many things about this one. The light fixture, the paint color the touches of lavender and purple. I want to come visit and check out the rest of your home and decor (she said creepily) = )

Too much of a nice color makes it unbearable. This room needs more white or neutral areas to desaturate the overwhelming view.

That's not the same room. Did they change the buildings outside the window too?

Not bad, but those fluttery little curtains would need constant washing. Blinds would have been a better choice.

The furniture is too big for the room..and it's really ugly. There is comfortable furniture that isn't the size of a tool shed.

I find those armchairs a little bit...disturbing. Are they waiting for guest to watch them sleep?
Living Room
I really like this room with the exception hanging the curtain rod right up against the trim. Yes you should hang curtain rods high to give height to the windows but not up against the trim.

I'm trying to figure out the piece of furniture in the right foreground of the before pic...a kind of a bunk bed, maybe? If so, it looks like one kid grew up and left, and the other can finally have a dream bedroom to themselves.

The Pink Bedroom
If you've ever had to live in a pink bedroom before it was finally unpinked, you'd understand how just about anything else is an improvement. I had that as a teenager when we moved to California. I got what was obviously a girl's room that was so pink I felt like I was sleeping inside a bottle of Pepto! I was overjoyed when it was painted a calm, lovely pale blue.

Paint everything white, turn a few more lights on,put some throws over stuff and consider it "made over" in the Changing Rooms mids 90's style ;)
That and they tidied up and cleaned up. I'd say at least half of these look better in the before than the after photos.
Load More Replies...Imagine the same made over room couple of months later. Especially with all that white furniture and human love for making bulks of stuff lying around. Yes, looks good for photo but maintaining?
got rid of my old kitchen en made a sleeping room for my daughter. 13600119_1...a62035.jpg
Am I the only person bothered by all the not having curtains thing? I really don't want anyone seeing what I'm doing when I get up and stagger around the house at night, and nobody needs to see it, lol. I like my privacy, plus I have trouble with too much sunlight, but this is just ridiculous. You live in the middle of a city fer cryin" out loud! And I really don't want to hear any complaints about people staring in windows when it's not trendy to have curtains, either. And Mark is right about the pseudo decorating on some of these, though some are pretty good.
They all look like something out of Sunset or Home and Garden magazines. Very professional, not at all homey or comfortable. Thumbs down to the lot
