Now that summer is winding down and there’s one more long weekend ahead of us, some of you may be ramping up your Labor Day with last minute projects. Here are some easy DIY ideas to keep you busy and your home refreshed for fall.

6 Easy DIY Ideas

DIY home projects are a great way to personalize your space, improve functionality, and sometimes even add value to your home. Here are some popular DIY home projects that you could tackle over a long weekend.

1. Painting. It’s amazing how a fresh coat of paint can transform a wall or furniture. It’s also one of the most accessible DIY projects.
2. Shelving. Create custom shelves for storage or display to help organize spaces and add a decorative touch. From ready-made systems to a series of stacked boxes or floating shelves, it can be as simple or complex as you need.
3. Landscaping. Late summer and early fall is a great time to clean up your outdoor space and plant bulbs for spring. Enhance your garden with raised beds, lit pathways, and decor to improve curb appeal and provide a relaxing oasis.
4. Installing a backsplash. Update the look of a kitchen or bathroom while helping protect the walls from water. Whether you use a peel-and-stick product or tile and grout, it’s a relatively simple way to add style and function.
5. Refinishing cabinets. Modernize your kitchen or bathroom without the cost of a full renovation. Switch up the paint color and knobs for a new look.
6. Upcycling. Take something old—like furniture, tires, or pallets—and make something new with limited resources and a fresh perspective.

These projects vary in complexity and cost, so pick the one that matches your skill level and budget. Of course, there are many online tutorials to help you get started, and there’s even help with the cleanup too.
