These projects vary in cost, time and complexity so whether you’re a DIY novice or seasoned expert, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
1. Move your furniture around: You’ll be amazed at how big a difference in your room’s appearance you can have just by moving and rearranging the furniture. It’s a simple, cheap and straightforward but effective way to create a new look and feel in any room.
2. Update your front porch or backyard: All you need is a lick of paint and some furniture to completely transform the look of your outdoor area. Add some plants in colorful pots and you’ll soon have a picturesque view that will make your home look gorgeous!
3. Refresh your walls: Give your walls a new look by repainting them or replace the wallpaper with something new that you love. A few of these fresh touches will definitely make any room feel like new!
4. Build your own shelves: If you have an unused wall in your home, why not turn it into a useful storage space? Invest in some simple shelf brackets and build your own shelves by cutting planks of wood to your desired size.
5. Create a focal point: Add a feature wall in any room in your home to draw the eye towards it and make your room appear more cosy & inviting. Or why not buy an old picture frame and decorate it with fairy lights or hang a macramé wall hanging. Either way, you’ll have a unique piece of art that you can be proud of.
In the next four sections we’ll discuss various creative projects that you could try and how to save money while doing them.
1. Repurpose your furniture: Turn an old chest of drawers into a new work desk, set an old bed frame into a garden bench or turn an old wardrobe into a stand alone library. If you have the skills, you can give your furniture a whole new life.
2. Refresh your kitchen on a budget: Apart from giving your cabinets a fresh coat of paint, you could also look for ways to make it much more functional and stylish. Replacing hardware or installing open shelves are some good ideas as they will help improve both the style and storage.
3. Upgrade your bathroom: Nothing makes a bathroom look like new quite as much as a fresh lick of paint and some new tiles. Bathroom upgrades don’t have to be expensive either – simply changing out your fixtures, toiletries, towels and bathroom rugs can make a world of difference.
4. Customize your closet space: Narrow hallways can be difficult to work with as well as closets. Unclutter the closet space by removing excess items and hang them up with an over-the-door hanging system. If you don’t have the budget to purchase one, create your own with old cabinet doors or pieces of wood.
Creating a cosy garden retreat doesn’t have to be daunting either. You can read up on how to create a serene living space with comfortable furniture and some decorative elements to ensure that your garden area looks inviting for everyone.
