We're sharing some of our favorite redecorating tips that cost less than $100, that will have your home looking like a million bucks!

Use Fabric to Update Lampshades

You may not give lampshades much thought, but you'll be surprised what a difference they can make to a room's look. Instead of buying new ones, cover the current lampshades with fabric in a favorite color or appealing pattern. Best of all, there's no sewing required. All you need are scissors, butcher paper or newspaper for the pattern, and fabric glue. 

Build a Pallet Coffee Table

This project gives you a funky, customized coffee table while boosting your "green" lifestyle points. Give new life to an ordinary pallet with a coat of paint and add wheels for easy movement. The table includes storage space for books and magazines or extra throws for those cold winter nights.

Make a Tray from a Cookie Sheet

A cookie sheet is the ideal shape for a tray. With just a little TLC, it can look like an elegant piece from a high-end department or furnishings store. Use it as a serving piece or place it on top of a dresser to hold jewelry.

Create a Trendy Pouf

Don't spend big bucks on a stylish pouf. With some basic stitching and some polyfill or cotton stuffing, you can have a pouf that's one of a kind. They're so simple to make that you can create a new one to suit any decorating whim.

Turn a Hamper into a Side Table

Who would think that a humble laundry hamper from Ikea would make a striking side table? Just remove the fabric, get a piece of wood that fits the top, and stain it in your desired shade. If you want the table to do double duty, there's room underneath for a basket to hold magazines, toys or other items.
