DIY interior ideas

TikTok is full of it: Do It Yourself (or DIY). Do you also get excited about the idea of ​​making your home completely your own? Then you are in the right place with DIY projects! In this blog we dive into DIY ideas, such as wrapping kitchen cabinets, creating an accent wall, refurbishing old furniture from the thrift store and the popular Ikea hacks.

Clay and Pottery

Probably a similar concept has also emerged in your city in recent years: art cafés. Art cafés are cafés where you can work with ceramics for a fixed amount of time for a few hours, from shaping to painting. You can also drink a nice cup of coffee or tea. But did you know that apart from vases and other nice pots, you can also make many other nice things with clay? For example, we came across this lamp:

These kinds of cafes have made a real DIY hobby relevant again: pottery. Did you know that pottery is actually much easier than you think? Start simple: buy some clay, a few basic tools and let your creativity run wild. The nice thing about pottery is that you literally give a personal touch to your interior.

Kitchen Cabinet Wrapping Rental House

Do you live in a rental home and do you think that your kitchen is really boring? Then read on! It is often not worth it to remodel your entire kitchen if you live in a rental home. However, it is not difficult to wrap your kitchen cabinets and give your kitchen your own style.

With self-adhesive foil you can easily change the style of your cabinets without causing permanent damage. Choose a beautiful foil with nice colors or patterns such as matte black, marble or a light wood structure, that fits your interior.

The process is simple: clean the cabinets well with a mixture of water and cleaning vinegar, measure the foil accurately, and carefully stick it to the surfaces. A spatula or soft cloth helps to smooth out air bubbles.

Wrapping is affordable and easy to remove, making it ideal if you live in a rental property. This small DIY project will quickly give your kitchen a stylish update without angering your landlord.

Accent Walls

An accent wall made of wood, for example, is the ideal way to give a room or hallway a warm and luxurious atmosphere. Accent walls are also called statement walls and can be designed entirely to your taste. For example, choose a striking colour or a wooden slat wall.

Start by choosing a focal point, like the wall behind your bed or couch. Then, get creative: use paint to create geometric shapes, opt for peel-and-stick wallpaper for an easy upgrade, or work with textures like cork or brick panels. The best part about an accent wall? It lets you express your personal style and instantly gives your room a luxurious feel. Start small and see how it can completely transform your interior!
