Six Fun Mini Makeovers That Cost Less Than $100

“I updated my mantel by mixing tall and small objects, a classic decorating trick,” says home director Jami Supsic. The result: elevated style.

Total Cost: candles ($13) + tray ($21) + vase ($15) + planter ($35) = $84

“I’m staying with my parents and I treated us all to some stencil style,” says editorial assistant Kathleen Knowles. “I used leftover paint, picked a simple pattern and worked from the top down — no sweat!”

Total Cost: stencil ($24) + mirrors ($40) + tray ($20) + lamp ($10) = $94

“Since I’ve been spending more time than usual here, I was craving a refresh,” says assistant market editor Samantha Roberts. “The gold palm leaves in the vase are my fave — they give me vacation feels.”

Total Cost: lamp ($32) + palm leaves ($18) + art ($37) = $87

“I love our antique pew, but the corner felt drab,” says deputy photo director Rachel Barker. Playful touches like brunch-worthy art, a pom-pom garland and an orange chair brought the fun.

Total Cost: chair ($35) + bagel art ($25) + dowel frame ($16) + garland ($9) + fruit basket ($10) = $95
