Due to the global pandemic which has everyone locked in their homes, this is the time to try any new DIY projects that either some of you have been putting off, or really just want to make use of your time. All excuses aside, even the DIY stores opening with standard operating procedures are hinting towards making improvements at home by utilizing your idea about how you want a certain place in your home to look like.
- Entrance Designs
The first thing that anyone coming to your house perceives is the door of your house and enhancing how the entrance of your house looks like is a great DIY project for starters. Making your door look more welcoming will give a nice impression once socializing gets back to normal.
You can look for paint to give a new look to your door and enhance the beauty of the entrance by adding some decoration piece or small door furniture. Allow your imagination to give you the styling tips you need.
2. Learning Something New
Learning something new is almost on every person’s list but is always ignored by the lack of time management. This is a great time for you to prioritize yourself and finally study a new skill and become good at it. You can take different courses online, most of which are available for free now or at less than half the actual price. If you’ve never DIYed something before in your life, its also a good idea to take an online DIY course and practice the projects that come along the way.
3. An Aesthetically Pleasing Living Room
Since you’re spending most of your time in your living room nowadays, its now more than ever that you need to make it more fresh, welcoming and aesthetically pleasing for you and your family through ways such as reorganizing/rearranging:
- Furniture and altering the setting of certain decoration pieces.
- Shelves with decoration pieces or books.
- Pictures from the ones you have on the tables to the ones hanging on the wall.
Declutter your living room and see what kinds of things you’ve been mindlessly shoving in drawers that need to be thrown away or aren’t of use anymore.
4. Grab a Chalk
A cost effective and fun way to make something more colourful is to grab a chalk, choose a wall in your child’s bedroom and allow their imagination to make that wall appear artsy in the most abstract way possible!
Another idea is to use chalkboards in the kitchen, by pinning photographs, to-do lists or important events.
5. Calling Professionals When Necessary
There are certain things that require prior knowledge of the material being used or toyed with, which is why it’s important to call a professional when you require changes associated with electricity, gas appliances, water supplies, etc. You’ll be surprised at how the little things refresh your place and appear even more cozy by changing or altering them a bit.
