Easy home projects to renew your space

After a record-breaking year of time spent at home, we’ll bet we’re not the only ones keen to switch-up our surroundings. And while a brand new oceanfront property would be our first change-up choice, funds & travel lacking, these easy home projects are slightly more realistic ways to seriously upgrade your space.

From renter-friendly (aka nail-free) wall designs to DIY art deco furniture, check out these easy home projects to do this weekend.

If your obsession with plants goes beyond your basic terracotta planters, take green-spiration (too cheesy?) from Studio Plants’ Jeannie Phan’s living wall. With a variety of low-light hanging plants (i.e. philodendrons and pothos) this apartment-friendly design needs only a few hanging planters and the willpower not to over-water to achieve.

If you love the look of bony inlay furniture but lack the funds for the traditional Indian design, tap into your inner creative and stencil your way to your own custom furniture. For an easy-to-follow approach, check out this IKEA nightstand makeover video. Can’t be fussed to find stencils? These (mildly) affordable bone inlay-inspired pieces are ready to be shipped.

While our love for peel-and-stick wallpaper is well-documented, our admiration for the home hack goes beyond a bedroom or bathroom accent wall. With one of these cool removable backsplashes, upgrading the look of your kitchen is easy as convincing your housemate to join in on the weekend project.

Inexpensive, easy-to-find, and mess-free, a washi tape wall or washi tape gallery wall is a renter-friendly way to spruce up any blank space in your home. Don’t know where to start? Search ‘washi tape gallery wall’ on Pinterest; we promise, you won’t be starved for inspiration.
