What better way to pass the infinite time at home (for now) than to fix it up with your own home DIYs? You'll focus your mind on something productive while feeling satisfied with a job well done and pleased with a home you love. Here are 30+ home DIY projects you can do this week or weekend no matter what DIY you choose.
PAINTING
First up, check out our Home DIY page for everything from painting an accent wall, ceiling, and kitchen cabinets to creating a wall gallery and mounting a swing chair. Need color inspo? Check out these statement-making colors for 2022. And think beyond the wall when it comes to paint: These eight staircase ideas will inspire you to add a little spring in your step (ahem).
WALLPAPER
Even if you rent, there are so many playful ways to dress up your walls with removable wallpaper. Urban Outfitters (we love this Crane Removable Wallpaper for $59/roll), Tempaper, Chasing Paper, and Etsy have beautiful prints for any room in your home or apartment. Not a lot of time? Make a statement in a closet or bathroom to cheer you up on any day.
SEWING/WEAVING
Give your home a spring makeover with these spring sewing DIYs. Pillows are an easy way to freshen up a sofa or bedroom, faux fur decor always adds a hint of modern coziness, and woven wall hangings are a great way to add texture and color to a wall without committing to wallpaper or paint — even get creative with bath mats for the beauty shown above.
This Hugs and Kisses pillow project gives new meaning to loveseat too!
ORGANIZATION
We've been home more than ever before in recent years, and that can create a bit of a clutter storm in your home. Here are our favorite DIY organization hacks to nip that mess in the bud, a no-sew Ikea storage hack and smart ways to organize your shoes, Prefer to work in the kitchen? Here's some major pantry organization inspo.
