Start sprucing up your space – home DIY projects anyone can do! Sprucing up your living space shouldn’t be daunting or expensive. Here are some simple DIY projects with big impact that anyone can do without breaking the bank.
First off, replace old switch plates. It’s a cheap and easy update that anyone can complete in minutes. Love that beach-inspired feel? Then get some switch plates with seashell accents. Feeling fancy? Get some luxe black plates. Go wild!
Adding a creative art piece is also an easy way to amp up your room. You can find affordable, frame-less artwork online or even gallery wall prints from your favorite blogger. Pick something that speaks to you and your living space!
Tired of the same old furniture? Consider giving them a fresh and modern look with spray paint. Choose colors and finishes that will give your furniture that updated look without replacing them. To keep the look fresh, use high-quality, light-resistant paint.
Introduce some unexpected and creative light fixtures to revive your room. Consider hanging up strings of your favorite fair lights or standing lamps with intricate designs. Feeling ambitious? Make your own lighting fixtures that will go perfectly in your living space.
Spruce up your window treatments! Get rid of the tired-looking curtains and replace them with something chic and modern. Installing curtains with geometric patterns, lace edging, or sheer panels will make the room look bright and modern. If you don’t want to replace the curtains, try swapping out the hardware for a more luxe look.
Swap your old doorknobs with chic ones. Nothing can make a space look dated more than disheveled doorknobs. Trade them in for more modern and sleek-looking ones that will match your home’s aesthetic. If you’re feeling creative, there are plenty of DIY doorknob projects available online.
At the end of the day, you don’t have to break the bank or have a lot of knowledge to revamp your living space. With a creative eye and the right supplies, anyone can hop on the DIY train and spruce up their living space.

Accessorize Your Living Space with its Own Personality
Accessorizing your living space with your own personality helps create a warm and inviting atmosphere to relax and unwind. You don’t need to splurge on expensive decor pieces to decorate – focus on accentuating what pieces you already have with the addition of a few key things.
Create a one-of-a-kind look with accent pillows. Select one central pillow and add in a few patterned pillows to give your room an interesting vibe. Play with colors and textures to give the space a unique feel. Or, if you have old t-shirts, throw pillow covers are an easy DIY project you can try out.
Bring plants into your home. No living space feels complete without the addition of some houseplants. Beyond being aesthetically pleasing, houseplants help clean and purify the air, making your living space more inviting. Plus, tending to plants also provides a great mindfulness activity.
Introduce interesting and vibrant textures to your living space. This could be as simple as creating a cozy nook with a fluffy throw blanket or adding a sheepskin rug. Or if you’re looking for more of a statement piece, hang up a macramé wall hanging.
Adding a gallery wall is another great way to make your living space more interesting. Frame up a collection of your favorite prints or pair them with vintage plates and trays for added texture and visual interest. Plus, this gives your room a unique Albert Einstein-esque vibe.
Introduce interesting wall hangings. Whether it’s a dreamcatcher or an intricate tapestry, interesting wall hangings provide great other layers to your living space. Place them against the wall or hang them up in your favorite corner for an artful effect.
Set up a home office. Turn any corner or spare room into a home office that helps you keep motivated and organized. Outfit your office with the necessary tech, calendar, notebooks, and stationery that keeps you productive and focused. To make it work, be sure to keep your area pleasant and clutter-free.
Bring in a cozy rug. A rug grounds your room and ties everything together. Whether you opt for a traditional wool rug or something more modern, make sure it has the right texture and size to your room.
Designing your interior is fun and gratifying, and shouldn’t be intimidating. With these tips, you can create a beautiful living space that’s personalized to your individual style.
