While most of us are working from home, and many are in self-isolation, it is important to keep in touch with the outside world and keep yourself occupied and entertained. This is where DIY projects for home improvement comes into focus. It is a great way to keep yourself distracted and busy during the lockdown while keeping boredom at bay.
There are various simple yet interesting ways to deal with the stay at home concept.
Here they are:
Firstly, I believe in cleaning, organizing and discarding. If you have not used anything for more than a year, you do not really need it. Spend a few days in cleaning up the stuff as there is always some junk lying around. Be it your living room or your workstation, do not let a messy desk come in the way of your productivity. You can use a few quick hacks such as segregation and compartmentalisation, which can instantly make you feel relaxed.
Next, go to your storage and find the right place to store things so that the next time you need it, you can find it easily sans hassle. You can use different storage baskets that can be arranged in a way that adds an artistic look to the room. Arrangement of things can be a real look changer.
To work from home, you need to pick a spot that you can use to carry out your work-related activities. Next, add a desk to this corner. No worries if you do not have one; you can use a sofa chair and your centre table as your workstation. Grouping your essentials while working can make it easier to find things.
Consider a quick shift of the furniture in your house. The transformation can give a new lease of life to the same space. We are used to having our home look in a particular way. Interchanging or shifting the furniture can give a more eye-pleasing look. For example, you have a beautiful vase that is always placed in the corner of your sofa. You can now change the placement and keep it in a more visible place. It makes the view more appealing and fresh.
One of the most useful hacks is the interchange of rugs. You can interchange the rugs in your home based on their sizes, and you will be amazed to see what a huge difference it makes.
Adding colours to a room can immediately uplift your mood. Play around with a colour scheme for a few days and then improvise it as days pass. You can use these colour schemes in your cushion covers, curtains and bedsheets. Interchanging bed sheets basis your wall colour is a really cool idea. It gives your space a new look and makes it more vibrant and welcoming.
While at home, this can be a good time to arrange the antiques and bring them to life. They undoubtedly add a traditional vintage look, just like we always wish.
