Try These Simple DIY Projects In The Easter Holidays To Transform Your Home

This Easter break is the perfect time to have a spring clean and tap into your creative energy, so why not try out a home DIY project? Here are some easy and inspiring ideas to get you started.

Upcycle a piece of furniture

If you’ve got a tired item of furniture or something that no longer ties in with a new decor scheme, why not try upcycling it to give it a fresh look? This wall-hung storage unit has been painted in Farrow & Ball‘s Green Smoke and Arsenic Green paint for a cool, contemporary feel.

Frame treasured memories

Take the time to go through those dusty boxes of old family photos and other paraphernalia that you’ve collected on your travels. A great way to appreciate these special memories is to create a collage of your most treasured items and arrange them in a series of glass frames like these from Decorator’s Notebook. That way, you’ll get to appreciate them everyday.

Add a feature wall

An easy way to instantly transform a space is with a striking mural. This verdigris-effect design by Murals Wallpaper instantly adds interest and the impression of texture. The prints can be hung just like normal wallpaper, but allow for a bigger impact, creating a real statement.

Hack your IKEA furniture

At some stage or other, you probably have bought a piece of IKEA furniture that’s now looking a bit shabby. Before ditching it completely, one great solution is to give it a facelift with customised fronts designed exactly for that purpose. Swedish company Superfront has a great range of products for IKEA’s Pax, Metod, Faktum and Bestå units in a wide range of colours, from pretty pastels to bold hues.
