Before you max out another credit card replacing perfectly good stuff, let's talk about giving your existing things a second chance at being cool. Between leather couch cleaner that turns sad seating into bougie vibes and peel-and-stick tiles that make your rental bathroom stop looking like a crime scene, these 21 transformations prove updating beats replacing. Watch contact paper turn your basic white appliances into stainless steel stunners while your bank account stays happily intact.
Your wallet does a happy dance as marble-look contact paper transforms boring countertops into Instagram backdrops, and tie-dye breathes new life into that shirt you almost donated. Slip covers slide over tired sofas and dining chairs like Cinderella's makeover for furniture, while sneaker cleaner brings your kicks back from the dead. Each upgrade channels main character energy without the main character budget, proving you don't need new stuff – you just need new perspective (and maybe some crafting supplies).

Review: "Bought very expensive leather chairs at a significant discount. Had some "water spots" on a couple of chairs. Think it was actually dried milk stains. After looking on the internet we called the manufacturer and talked with one of their specialists who recommended this product. Read the reviews and bought it. Used the microfiber cloth to apply and after the first treatment noted only mild improvement, but after the second treatment (done just after the first treatment dried), the stain was not visible!! I then did the entire chair and the results are great." - placeholder

Review: "I was a little skeptical about White washing my fireplace. But I decided to give this kit a try. Everything you need to complete the job is included in the kit. I follow all the instructions which included just doing a few bricks at a time, then wiping. As I moved through the project, I discovered that I did not need to wipe. Brushing the paint on gave me the look I wanted so I no longer wiped as I painted. I am so pleased with the results. In fact, my contractor wants to hire me to do other jobs lol." - Iris T

looks like a 5 year old’s room & looks like a 5 yo hung them; not even spaced evenly
Review: "I bought these for my son who is always getting his shoes dirty. I tried them on the old pair of shoes he wears to work, and was stunned at how easy it was to clean them and how they turned out. They also worked on the canvas part of if some of his other shoes. I didn’t run into any issues using it either, you don’t need much water, just be gentle and don’t scrub too hard. I love that you can keep these with you anywhere you go. Great product!" - Sen in LA
Review: "Even better looking in person. I love that the base behind the design is like a mirror/reflective." - Keely
Review: "I was happy with how it turned out! I used 3 coats of clear polyurethane over the top to really make it last long and protect it against water and stains. It’s a good thickness and a very cheap option to update your style look." - Sophia B.

So it was lovely granite before, and you slapped on lumpy, poorly-printed "marble" sticky paper? Look at the lower left-hand corner and the left edge of the backsplash - gross lumps in the film paper. Looked nice in the natural stone before, looks like trash with the sticker on it.
Review: "Very please with these gas range top covers. Easy to cut to fit. I overlapped the center where they meet and cut the sides and one opposite side. Lift up your burner by turning it sideways. If you never took the burners out, it may be hard as they are stuck. You can put a degreaser or soap around the circle edges and they should start to move and then lift up. You don't have to undo the wires the opening in the cover is large enough to slip the burner through. Just cut the sides.If your grates are individual; it will work great as the grate will cover the cut side and hold the covers in place. They are very easy to clean and looks like they will last a long time. Very Happy." - Joe Leahan
