Peel-and-stick wood or wallpaper panels are a game-changer. In just an afternoon, you can transform a plain wall into a stylish feature. Choose from modern geometric patterns, rustic wood finishes, or chic florals. Use a level to ensure your panels line up perfectly for that professional look.
Elevate any room with DIY floating shelves. They’re perfect for displaying books, plants, or curated decor items. You’ll need wooden planks, L-brackets, and paint or stain. Simply cut and sand the planks, stain or paint them to match your decor, then attach brackets to the wall and mount the shelves.
Give an old dresser, table, or chair a trendy new look with chalk paint. This matte finish paint is beginner-friendly and doesn’t require sanding or priming. Add new hardware like gold or matte black knobs for a luxurious upgrade.
Turn an unused corner into a reading haven by adding a comfy chair, a stylish lamp, and a small side table. Complete the look with DIY throw pillows made from fabric remnants. You can even install a tiny shelf for your favourite books.
Macramé is back in style. With a few simple knots, you can craft a stunning boho wall hanging. All you need is cotton rope, a wooden dowel, and scissors.
Swap out boring light fixtures for something unique. Create a DIY pendant light using a wire basket and some spray paint. Warm light bulbs are perfect for creating a cosy atmosphere.
Create a gallery wall that tells your story. Frame a mix of personal photos, art prints, and DIY creations. You can find inexpensive frames from charity shops and spray paint them to match your theme.
Plants breathe life into any space. Create your own planters using upcycled materials like tin cans, glass jars, or painted terracotta pots. Macramé plant hangers are a great option to save floor space.
Organise and beautify at the same time by covering cardboard boxes with fabric or decorative paper. These are perfect for storing seasonal items, toys, or office supplies.
If a designer rug is out of your budget, make your own. Buy a plain rug and stencil a custom design using fabric paint. Use painter’s tape to create clean lines and patterns.
