We are all spending more time on…well..having more time on our hands. Meaning, this is the perfect opportunity for us all to tackle those easy DIY projects in our home. The greatest part about it all is it won’t cost you much money and will make a huge impact on your emotional well being. Check out my suggestions on what you can do to make the time go by a little faster while beautifying your surrounding.

1. Paint!

A can of paint costs next-to-nothing for the huge impact it will make. Not to mention, some of us have left over paint cans hanging around; so why not use them? Adding a pop of color to your front door showcases your personality and painting an accent wall in your home creates visual interest and depth.

2. Tidy up and declutter!

While some of us have a junk drawer in our homes (most of us) and others may have a junk room, now is the time to clean out and organize. A cleaner space will help us be more productive, organized, and happier!

3. Deep Clean

You may be thinking, “Duh, Kevin, of course I should clean.” I am not talking about the every-day cleaning, i’m talking about that cleaning you do every now and then; grout in kitchens and bathroom, baseboards, windows, and furniture vacuuming (you read that right). Did you know that vacuuming your furniture will get all of the years of dust, skin cells, and dirt off of it? It instantly breathes new life into furnishings and will help extend the life. Don’t forget to unzip those cushions and vacuum inside the casings as well!

4. Art projects!

Add a bit of you into your home with custom arts ant crafts! Some of us have transitioned from CEO to stay-at-home and are now having to juggle entertaining out little ones. A great project is allowing your family to create something special for the home. From rock painting to framing a painting you created, this will add that pop of personal!

5. Change out your light bulb

Lighting is so important. We have all been in that zoom meeting where someone has terrible lighting and they look like that are giving an anonymous witness testimony or live in a yellow covered world. Lighting has different warmths that give off a yellow, white, or blue tint. My recommendation is 3000 kelvin, perfect balance of warmth and white. Uniform light temperature through your home will create the perfect ambience for you to enjoy!
