When it comes to home renovation projects, you probably didn’t know you could DIY a good amount of them! You should leave some tasks, like electrical and plumbing work, to the professionals—but take inventory of your projects and see what you can do yourself.
Innovative Storage Solutions
Do you have a crafting room bursting with piles of fabric and yarn? Are your kids’ toys perpetually scattered across the floor? You know which areas are more cluttered than others. Give those items a permanent home with shelving units, organizer drawers, and hook systems.
Elegant Facades
If you’re looking to add visual interest to a room, consider an accent wall! Go the easy route by painting it in a contrasting color, or pick up a brick veneer from your local home improvement store. You don’t need a contractor to transform a boring wall into a charming brick façade.
Backyard Shed Space
Whether you want to store garden tools or ensure safe bike storage, a backyard shed could bring your home to the next level. You can DIY this solution, too! Shop online for prebuilt garden sheds; the difficult part is already done. Installation is much easier than building it from the ground up.
Sleek Wood Flooring
Set aside a weekend and pull up your old floors to make room for a new look. Hardwood flooring has never been easier to install yourself; home improvement stores offer many stylish panels and planks that fit together like puzzle pieces. You’ll need a helping hand or two, but the process itself is perfectly doable for a DIYer.
Staircase Makeover
Add a little fun to your staircase by giving it a unique paint or decor job. Depending on your style, you can use anything from mosaic tiles to chalkboard paint to transform your stairs into a work of art. Guests will marvel at your playful sense of style!
Transforming your home is easier than you think. While some projects are best left to the pros, you don’t need a contractor for absolutely everything. If you didn’t know you could DIY these home projects, let this list inspire you to give your house a facelift this weekend.
