As the days get shorter and temperatures drop, it’s the perfect time to tackle some indoor DIY projects to make your home cosier and more organized. Let’s look at five simple yet impactful projects you can take on this fall.
DIY Projects to Cozy Up Your Home
Install a Custom Mudroom Bench and Organizer
Fall and winter weather often mean muddy boots and extra layers. A custom mudroom bench with hooks and storage is a great way to keep entryways neat and stylish.
Tip: Add cubbies for shoes and hooks for jackets, scarves, or bags to maximize functionality.
Craft a Custom Coffee Station for a Cozy Touch
With colder days ahead, having a dedicated coffee station can add both warmth and functionality to your kitchen or dining area. Consider building a rolling cart, adding a bar cabinet into a kitchen nook, or for a simple solution, adding a floating shelf as a dedicated coffee station.
Tip: Consider adding a selection of small crates and containers to hold coffee pods, sugar, and other essentials. Complete the look with a cosy candle to make your coffee corner an inviting spot all season long!
Upgrade Your Closet with a DIY Organization System
With bulky fall and winter clothes, closet space can get tight. Create a custom closet organization system by adding shelving units, rods and hooks to make your closet more functional.
Tip: Add bins and baskets to store seasonal accessories, and don’t forget to grab a tape measure to maximize every inch of your closet space.
Build a Cozy Reading Nook with DIY Shelving and Seating
There’s nothing like curling up with a good book on a chilly day, so why not create a reading nook? Build a custom bench seat under a window or in an empty corner with shelving for your favourite reads.
Tip: Choose a soft, durable fabric for the seating area and consider adding a small shelf above or beside it to hold books and other decor items.
Create an Accent Wall for a Warm, Inviting Space
Bring warmth and texture into your home with an accent wall. Panelling, shiplap, or even a painted wall with geometric designs can completely transform any room.
Tip: A nail gun, level, and tape measure are essential for a professional-looking finish, all available in the Peavey Mart tool section. This is a quick way to make a space feel fresh and inviting for the fall and winter seasons.
