When you think of DIY projects, kitschy cushions or lopsided benches might come to mind. It may seem like an impossible feat, but it is possible to create professional, stylish and minimalist pieces yourself for your home!
Now that we are all spending more time at home, it’s important that your space is tailored to your life. If you are looking to inject some more style into your home then read on to find out about some handy DIY tips, tricks and tools that will help you on your way to a top class minimalist space!
One of the first things we think about when we consider home improvements is painting! If you’re thinking of revamping a room with a new colour, you might want to consider neutral bases for your walls. The main colour will set the tone for the space so choose wisely! If you aren’t a fan of whites or creams, go for a greige or even a warm biscuit to add some spice to your life. Many minimalist theories support using two-toned or monotone colour schemes, and adding pops of colour through accessories such as pillows or kitchen items. Have a look at these beautiful spaces to get some ideas!
Everything in a minimalist space should have a function and add value to the room. For example, have you ever wished you had a storage space for your shoes that was easily accessible AND stylish at the same time? Well, look no further than wooden crates! You may have some lying around the house, or if you check your local hardware store they may have some that you can take for free. You can paint them to suit your colour scheme, and store them sideways to display your shoes. Bonus points for placing some plants or trinkets on the top for added pizzazz.
Another beautiful minimal DIY idea uses twine and hot glue to make circular coasters! If you are feeling adventurous you can experiment with different shapes. Here you’ll find the perfect adhesives which allow you to simply work with ease on all of your DIY projects. If you’re a one and done type of DIY-er, look no further than this All In One Masonry glue which tackles all materials and projects!
If you have all the ingredients and tools ready for a minimalist space, you might need some tips on how to organise it! Let’s have a look at some feng shui tips to instantly cultivate good vibes in your new space!
Firstly, it’s important to keep as much open space as possible within the home. Don’t block off entrances or hallways with large cupboards or clutter any space with unnecessary boxes or bags. Try to have natural light and air circulating as much as possible, and incorporate some plants if possible.
These simple design tips should help you curate a sleek, minimalist space where you can easily relax and enjoy time at home. Take some inspiration from the projects suggested and go wild!
