If you’re like many American homeowners, you’ve taken more time in the past year to take stock of your home and work on some personal projects. Home DIY projects are more common than ever and there are many easy ones you can take on in your own home.
Whether you want to spruce up your backyard or bring a little utility to your garage, there’s a project for you. These DIY projects also come in at a healthy and low cost and can help you feel more connected with the home you’re living in.
What might be the right project for you? Read on and we’ll walk you through a few big suggestions.
Chalkboard Paint Upgrades
Could you use a little more utility around your home? One such way to make your home a little handier and up your cool factor in the process is to implement chalkboard paint.
Chalkboard paint is exactly what it sounds like: the black paint they used to make chalkboards that allow you to easily write out and erase various messages.
It’s an easy and inexpensive way to adorn any kind of space while providing a fun and useful addition to your home. You can paint one panel of a wall, the entire wall of your child’s bedroom, or even pieces of particular furniture around your home.
Then all you need to do is pick up a piece of chalk and you’ll be on your way to an amazing creation. You can leave yourselves notes or craft a simple space to have a creative outlet.
Floating Bookshelf Racks
Do you have a lot of books around the house and are looking for new ways to show them off? No more room on your current bookshelf?
One way to make an impression is to DIY yourself a floating bookshelf rack. Its easy and simple to make and is a great conversation starter. All you need is an inexpensive metal L-shaped shelf.
You secure the upper half of this shelf to the wall and then hide the second portion within the stack of books itself, creating this fun optical illusion.

Craft a Reading Nook
Have a few spare curtains lying around? Why not turn them into a stunning and cozy reading nook in a sunny corner of your home.
All you need is to affix the curtains to the wall with a few fabric hooks. Throwdown a rug and a few pillows within the curtains and you’ll have created the perfect reading corner for your child (or for yourself!).
