Do you know what you can do? Transform the way it looks, and that too in cost-effective ways.

It won’t take a lot of cash and with a few steps, you’ll see a major difference.

These DIY Home Decor & Interior Hacks will make you fall in love with your home — all over again!

DIY Tips & Tricks For Your Home

1. Paint The Walls

Painting walls will take a bit of effort and time, but hey, who’s not got some time to spare in these times?

Do it on a weekend or spare out some time from your days, go for patterns or a solid color wall, just do something that defines you.

Let your home speak you, give it a chance it’s needing.

Wanting to know how to create patterns and paint? Use tape to create designs; go for stripes, crinkles, waves, whatever you like! Ombre-toned walls look pretty too, blend colors from bottom to top, and it’ll look great.

This whole activity will not only make a difference but will also relax you mentally.

2. Furniture Painting

Let’s be honest, changing couch fabrics and wood can be very expensive, and almost like getting a new set — but that doesn’t stop your creativity at all.

You can always paint tables, wooden chairs, or even bookshelves. Just get some paint that can coat the furniture, and you’re good to go.

Pastels & metallic paints are quite a lot in trend currently, and the whole process will barely take an hour or so.

Furniture painting can bring a drastic change to the way your home appears to be!

3. Introduce Plants To Your Home Space

Plants not only look beautiful but also act like a companion and a health improver.

Add up some succulents to your indoor space that look beautiful, are so dainty, and elevate the entire space pretty well.

You can also add up big-sized plants to your balcony and inner places such as the window.

Plants are not too expensive, and neither is maintaining them. You can start with basic plants that require lesser care and then move up accordingly.

Having plants at home will be definitely amazing — trust me!

4. Reuse Old Rugs & Fabrics

Did you keep your old rugs and mats aside thinking you’re never going to use them? Now is the time when you get to put them to good use!

If you’ve got plain and solid furniture pieces with walls, then include prints & patterns through the fabric to have a contrast.

Whereas on the other hand, if you’ve got patterns & prints on furniture and walls, then include solid rugs and fabrics in your space.

Such small changes transform the place completely.

Fulfill The Purpose Of Reuse, Reduce, and Recycle

Make changes at your home with whatever’s kept in your home — spend money on only small things such as plants and paints for your DIYs.

These techniques might be slightly time-consuming, but the outcomes are absolutely adorable and to die for!
