Trending on Remodelista: 5 Easy, Economical Design Tricks

March 25, 2023

Remodelista editors celebrated the return of spring with interiors that burst with pattern, color, and light. We particularly liked the inexpensive design tricks and hacks we spied.

Kantha as Headboard

Designer Sophie Rowell loves vintage textiles, particularly Kantha quilts from India. “Drape one over the headboard to create a new look with very little expense,” she says.

Climbing Holds as Cabinet Handles

An unexpected design element: “The door handles are wood climbing handles that we bought in the market and varnished in the same finish as the window frames,” explains architect Saba Ghorbanalinejad. Photograph by Mary Gaudin, from A Considered Renovation in Old Versailles

Curtains In Lieu of Cabinet Doors

Running out of money for your kitchen renovation? Consider losing the cabinet doors and going with curtains instead. See Kitchen of the Week: A Colori Kitchen by Artilleriet in Sweden.
