Repaint a Room

Repainting a room is a straightforward yet fun DIY project that anyone can do with excellent results. Start by moving furniture out of the way, protecting your floor and walls with a drop cloth, removing any hardware and fixtures, and applying a coat of primer.

Once the primer has dried, use a roller and brush to apply a coat of paint. Apply a second coat of paint if desired, wait for it to dry, and then it’s time to add your other finishing touches. 

Add a Backsplash

Backsplashes are an easy way to add color, texture, and depth to a room; you only need a few supplies to complete the job. Before beginning, measure the wall where the backsplash will go and collect the supplies you need, depending on your styles, such as tile, spacers, grout, trowel, and grout float.

When selecting tiles, choose an accent color matching the rest of your kitchen décor projects. Once the tile is dry, grout the spaces, apply sealant, and clean up all your tools.

Create a Gallery Wall

Start by deciding where the focus should be and what type of art you’d like to display. Gather your art pieces and choose your favorite frames and hangings.

Measure the wall space and mark where each piece should go. Hang the edges, making sure they are level with each other. Create a focal point in the center with a larger display and balance it with smaller pieces on each side. Feel free to mix up sizes and styles.

Make a Headboard

Making a headboard can be an easy and fun DIY project for any skill/experience level. An upholstered headboard is a great, budget-friendly option to choose from.

Gather old foam or pillows to put on the back, cover them with the fabric of your choice, and use whatever color thread for the upholstery. Attach a piece of cloth or a padded board between the pallets and screw it to form the headboard.

Update Cabinet Hardware

These simple home DIY tools are easy and fun for anyone. You’ll need to decide on the hardware style you’d like to use, then measure your existing holes and buy new hardware accordingly.

Start by cleaning off the old hardware and taking careful measurements of the existing holes, and then affix the new hardware in the same spot.

Once the new hardware is in place, you can enjoy a refreshed look and even use the opportunity to revamp the style or color of your kitchen and cabinets.

You may buy at S&D Timber & Builders Merchants for their affordable hardware that you can use for your projects.
