With the long weekend just around the corner, you may be considering a refresh your home. DIY projects are a perfect way to add value and improve functionality without the need for professional help. Here are a few manageable ideas that can make a big impact in just a few days:

  1. Garden Makeover

With a bit of planning, a garden refresh can transform your outdoor space. Consider creating a raised garden bed, planting a new vegetable patch, or adding some outdoor seating areas using online resources to help you. Or something a little easier, just add a few new plants and some fresh mulch.

  1. Painting Feature Walls

A feature wall can give a room an entirely new look. Pick a bold colour (or if you’re brave, you can use wallpaper with an interesting texture or pattern) to make a statement. Painting a single wall can be done in a day, leaving time to update any accessories or décor to match.

  1. Shelving and Storage Solutions

Adding floating shelves or building custom storage can help keep your home organised while giving it a modern touch. You can use simple tools to create shelves for your living room, kitchen, or garage, and even add decorative touches with plants or books. Another option is to make existing storage areas like your pantry, linen or storage cupboards look neater and more appealing with some new storage items.

  1. Update Your Entrance

Give your home's entrance a fresh look by updating the door hardware, adding a new coat of paint, and enhancing the front garden with potted plants. You could even try your hand at installing outdoor lighting for added curb appeal.
