It can be hard to find the motivation to spruce up your home from time to time but little changes can make a big difference to its atmosphere. Refresh your home in a weekend with these quick and easy DIY projects and bring some new life into your space.
Start with the biggest room in your home—the living room. A fresh coat of paint here and there can really bring out some big changes. Play around with different colors and textures to create some eye-catching feature walls that makes the room cozier.
Take up the challenge of making DIY furniture pieces. You don’t need to attend any furniture-making classes; there are plenty of tutorials out there for even the most novice of DIY enthusiasts. Take some inspiration from those and upcycle your old pieces of furniture in a weekend. Whether it’s reupholstering your armchair or creating an ottoman from leftover fabric, re-purposing your furniture can give an instant facelift!
Brighten up the walls by adding wall-mounted planters. This not only adds an indoor greenery feature to your living space, but a wall-mounted planter can also reduce humidity in the room which is especially useful in a small city apartment.
Lastly, declutter and organize your home. With a few simple tweaks and changes, you can give more attention to the elements you love and take away the messy and disorganized look of everyday clutter. Maximize the corners with storage pockets, hanging containers, and uniform shelving.
Another great way of refreshing your home is to bring some more positive vibes and light into your home with mirrors. There are a range of shapes and sizes available ranging from big wall-mounted mirrors to smaller unique pieces that’ll add a little sparkle.
If you’re looking to add some personal touches to your home, why not try out some Watercolor projects? You don’t need any artistic experience to start out and you’ll be amazed at what you can create with a jar of paint and a few canvases!

No matter what room you’re in, small details like cork boards, colorful wallpaper or even makeshift lighting can quickly add charm to an otherwise drab interior. Get creative and see how quickly you can start to make small changes that will immediately bring a shine to a dull room.
To give your kitchen a boost, try out a feature wall or a creative mosaic. Kitchen mosaics don’t need to be complicated either. Get hold of some plain-colored tiles, a few glass mosaic pieces and a bag of grout to mix. Create a beautiful scene showcasing the tiles in the desired pattern and you’ll have a brand new kitchen feature before you know it!
Don’t forget to work on the furniture too. Sand down worn or scratched wooden furniture and revamp it to look brand new again. You could even use a few stencils and a few tones of paint to add artistic flair to your furniture.
Bedroom updates don’t have to be a huge deal either. Try and paint one of the walls in the room and make it a feature wall. Live the dream of having a unique headboard with some wood paneling bought from a DIY store. It’s a really fun project and the results will blow your mind.
For extra comfort and style in your bedroom, add a few cozy outdoor lights around your nightstands. This will give your bedroom the look and feel of a luxury villa.
Bring the outdoors in by making a vertical garden. With a few large planters and other mounting accessories, you can create a whimsical vertical garden. When plants are hung from the walls or ceiling, it can help to determine the look of a room and adds that extra sense of calmness needed to make a space feel complete.
Finding the right home pieces doesn’t always mean breaking the bank, so don’t be discouraged by prices. Go thrifting and find second-hand pieces that you can upcycle to match the look and theme of your space, adding unique details and personal touches to every room.
With these simple DIY projects under your belt, your home will feel refreshed and rejuvenated in no time!
