Cool Home Projects

When the weather isn’t fine or when you’re not in the mood of going out, you can use the free time to come up with some amazing things. This is when cool home projects come into play. A house always deserves some redecorating and since changes are most of the times good, changing the way your house looks like can have a positive impact over your mind.

The following cool home projects are perfect for those who are big fans of frugal living. So if time and money are of the essence, these ideas can really help you out. You will get to use some cool storage spaces, make your rooms seem more spacious and enjoy a modern design without having to spend too much money on redecorating your house.

The Bookcase

If you have many books lying around it’s time to use every nook and cranny you can think of. Bookcases come in all shapes and sizes so you can conceal a bookcase in a staircase, for example. This project lasts some time, but it isn’t expensive. You can rethink your staircase, turn it into a storage space and place the books within the stairs. It will look magical. If this doesn’t please you, you can use your balcony and incorporate some shelves there for your books. You will have a reading corner all for yourself. There are also some suspended shelves that can be placed on walls. They look esthetic, they save you space and you can place some of your books on these shelves.

New Pieces of Furniture

New, modern furniture comes with storage spaces that are already incorporated in the design.  So this means that you can store clothes and whatever else you feel like storing in your sofa or beds. If you want to save some money, you can repurpose old furniture and add storage spaces in the original design. This is the power of amazing frugal living and smart DIY projects.

Colors and Designs

Floor to ceiling windows will make your rooms seem spacious and brighter.  Powerful spotlights will calm you down and make it seem as if your rooms are bigger. The light will help you be more creative if you work from home or if your job requires a lot of imagination and creativity. Vivid, bright colors invite to happiness while cold colors make your rooms seem smaller and a bit more depressing or even hostile. Minimalistic and conceptual designs also make your rooms seem bigger. Adding mirrors on walls can also create the idea of space. Complementary colors are pleasing to the eye while bright contrasts can be a little too much to handle.

Shoe Boxes

If you don’t have enough room to store your shoes, keep them in their original shoe boxes and add tags on these boxes. Describe the shoes, the shoe number and color. You’ll be saving a lot of time and space this way. Make sure to mention the type of shoes on each box.
