Do your friends always marvel at your creativity and decorating style? Don’t you want to show them that you can do so much more? Well, home DIY projects are the best way to show off your talents and take up some fun activities at the same time. So here are some unique home DIY projects you can do to wow your friends.
First, you can try creating a one-of-a-kind photo wall. Dig out old and new, funny and meaningful photos, get frames of all shapes and sizes, add some string lights and hang them in your favorite corner. This is sure to make an eye-catching focal point for any room.
Next, why not make a statement piece of furniture? With equipment easily available these days, you can easily create something on your own that no one else has. Whether it be a coffee table, a bookshelf, or even a bed frame, your friends will be amazed at your ingenuity and creativity.
Another great idea is to repel the ordinary and make a statement with a chandelier. Find an old basket and if you’re feeling crafty, paint it anyway you want. Put some string lights inside, hang it in your living room and you have an instant showstopper with minimal effort.
In addition, you can also try refurbishing old furniture. Head out to your nearest thrift shop and get something you love. Refinish and upgrade it in your own unique way – from reupholstering to revarnishing, you can customise your furniture to suit your decor style and surprise your friends with its transformation.
Also, you can create some unique wall art instead of grabbing something off the store display. Get some colored cardstock, print something you like, and frame it in a fun way. Placed strategically on the wall, it can become a great talking point for your guests and your friends will surely be mesmerized by its colors.
Finally, even if you’re not great with woodwork, you can make your own shelves and racks relatively easy. With a drill, some screws and some scrap wood lying around, create a rack for your entryway, decorate it with some wall art, and you’re done! You will be proud of your creative mind and your friends will be blown away!
Turning your home into something special shouldn’t have to cost you a fortune. From creating a unique wall display to creating a statement piece of furniture, through to making something out of a thrift shop find, take the time to add unique details and you’ll wow all your friends. How about upcycling some bottles for a bar cart? A starburst mirror to hang above your sofa? Paint your kitchen cabinets to add your own spin? Turn boring planters into quirky vases? Hang copper shelves to give your living room an edge? You can do something different and play around with carpentry, knitting, sewing or painting and make your friends go ‘wow’ with each DIY project you showcase.
