You don’t need to embark on a full-scale renovation to improve your bedroom design, maximise the storage in your laundry, or take your living room from boring to beautiful. Sometimes, all it takes is a simple DIY project to breathe new life into tired spaces.
Here, we share three simple home improvement projects that allow you to play with and introduce new decorating trends without making a permanent design change. What’s more, they’re all easy to install and take down whenever you please (sans wall damage!).
From an easy way to hang wall art to home organising tips, these beginner-friendly and affordable DIY ideas will transform your home in an instant.
1. Hang artwork using temporary solutions
Displaying beautiful family photos, the kids’ artwork, or treasured pieces collected from your travels on the walls can influence the style of a room and offer an insight into your personality. But your art collection doesn’t need to be permanent. If you love to refresh your space and look each season, there’s an easy solution.
Use adhesive strips and picture hangers to make DIY decorating a breeze. One click of the Command Picture Hanging Strips alerts you that they are locked in and holding tight, so you can hang your wall art or photo frames confidently. If you want to rearrange your gallery or swap out a picture, simply pull them off the wall (without cracked plaster or sticky residue) and you can start again with a clean slate.
2. Increase your storage solutions
The kitchen, laundry and bathroom are often overflowing with appliances and utensils, so it pays to have a clever storage system in place. Whether you need to clear up your bench space or find somewhere to keep cleaning essentials, turn to temporary hooks.
The General Purpose Command Hooks come in a range of sizes and weight holding capacities to hang an abundance of things up to 6.8kg, from yoga mats to brooms, heavy jackets and bags. When you organise your home and give everything a place to live, you create a clean, and ordered space that’s a joy to live in.
So, create a spot where the kids can hang their backpacks on hooks after school or store headphones on a hook in your home office to keep your desk tidy. Get creative with your belongings and turn mess or clutter into aesthetic storage that suits your style.
3. Decorate empty spaces
Blank walls and empty corners are the perfect opportunity to bring personality and warmth to your home. If you have a blank space at home, it might be time to fill it with something that adds to the interior style and also serves a purpose.
In the easy DIY project above, a family hangs a string of vibrant lights to a bedroom wall with clear hooks, bringing colour to the room whilst lighting up the bookshelf. Above, a playful artwork is hung using picture hanging strips to complete the space. Budget-friendly makeover projects like this are a fun and productive way to spend the weekend with the whole family.
