Here are 3 simple home improvement projects that you can do in a few hours – or one afternoon after work.

Gallery Wall

Gallery walls look great in virtually every space. Depending on the effect you want, you can choose among many different art styles or photographs. For the best effect, make it eclectic and interesting, unique to you and your taste.

Organize Books

Organizing books and other things that live on your shelves is a great way to spend an afternoon when you need to clear your head. Take everything away, dust the shelves, and start on the “blank canvas”, rearranging the things in a way that inspires you.

Buy Plants

If you feel like your home could use some plants, stop by a local greenhouse and get a few that you like, then find them some beautiful pots and watch your home change completely!

Declutter

The first thing you can do is have a big clear-out of any stuff you don’t need. We don’t need Feng Shui to tell us that a house full of clutter can be stressful and annoying. But it’s actually a very profound concept that in clearing your home, you can clear your mind.

Connect with Nature

Another easy way to increase the Feng Shui in your home is to fill it with plants and flowers. This helps bring the outside world into your private space and increases your feeling of connection with nature.

Adjust Your Bed

A key element of Feng Shui is the composition of your furniture within your home. For example, your bed should always face the front door. This is called “command position” and helps you feel centered in your approach to the world.

Straighten Your Photos

And finally, a really easy way to increase your Feng Shui is to make sure that any picture hanging on your wall is hanging in the right positions. Photos hanging at a wonky angle or too low on the wall, can be connected to feelings of depression or defocus.

Painting the Walls

Whether all the walls in your home need a fresh coat of paint or you want to do an accent wall, roll up your sleeves and just go for it! You can include your whole family and have fun working together.

Sew Something

If you have a sewing machine and want to practice sewing, make a new throw or pillows that will freshen up your living room.

Plants

Many plants require minimum effort over the year, but spring is the time when you need to replant some of them and give them additional attention so they can continue making your life better all year long. Now is also a perfect time to plant a herb garden or bring some flowers to your balcony.

Couch Throw

Depending on the brand and the fabrics used, you can pay anywhere between $40 to $150+ for a nice throw blanket, but the difference between them and cheap $10 ones available at every store is in the comfort you’ll be getting when you want to get cozy in the evening.

Robot Vacuum

Does it cost a lot? Yes. Is it worth it? Totally! Especially if you have pets, your floors will always feel clean and there’s really no better feeling than coming to a clean home after a long day.

High-Quality Lighting

Do some research and find out what kind of lighting works the best in every room, then turn it into a project and upgrade your lighting. The difference will be huge.

Cork

You can usually find cork at any multi-purpose store or art store, and sometimes they even come in shapes that are ready to be coasters! If not, just buy a thin sheet and cut out whatever shapes you like, and you’re ready to party! To help you along, you can also use cookie cutters to make each one uniform. If you want to make them special, you can always draw a fun color or pattern on them.

Rope

If you have some thin rope on hand, you have the perfect vehicle to make rope coasters! They turn out really beautiful and it takes almost no time to make them! Just get out your hot glue gun and glue a little bit of the rope at a time so the rope sticks to itself, and curl it inwards to make a round shape. You can make the coasters as big or small as you like, but whatever you decide, they will be totally darling!
