Every home owner wants to feel as comfortable as possible in it. This becomes the reason that there is a desire to decorate the interior not only beautifully, but also in an original way.

However, often the funds for this are not enough, because the services of professional designers, like beautiful things, are not cheap. Therefore, in recent years, an increasing number of homeowners prefer to independently decorate the interior of the house with the help of handicrafts from improvised means that are cheap.

It is worth noting that the main advantage of such crafts is not the cheapness of materials. The most attractive circumstance is that each thing created by you is unique. But it is the uniqueness of the design that attracts attention.

From products that were created with his own hands, a special energy emanates. And thanks to this, an atmosphere of comfort and warmth appears in the house.

An important circumstance is the fact that such designs can act not only as ordinary decorating elements. With their help, you can organize the space much more conveniently. After all, they can be used to store a variety of little things that are necessary for the economy.

Do you think that this is impossible, because you need to have some special skills? No, even a child can handle this work of creating crafts.

Pay attention to the photo of crafts from improvised means, which is presented below. It shows an example of creating a key holder, which is not only a beautiful addition to the interior, but also serves as a small key hanger.

And the process of its creation is not complicated. Let's consider it in more detail.

Key hanger

Surely, many are familiar with the situation when you have to raise the whole family to the ears to find the keys. Indeed, often people do not burden themselves with the purchase of special small shelves for storing keys and other small things.

And since the key is a fairly small item, it is easy to lose it among larger items. To get rid of the need to constantly look for the keys, many keep them in their purses.

However, we can offer you a more interesting and original way of storage. And for this we will build a housekeeper.

Its main feature is that outwardly it will resemble a product decorated with brickwork.

We will tell you step by step how to make crafts in the form of a housekeeper from improvised means. But first, let's consider what kind of tools and materials will be needed to create it: a thick sheet of cardboard or plywood, thick napkins, hooks, glue, varnish, paints.

Stages of the housekeeper

At the first stage, you need to cut out the back wall of the future key holder. As a material, you can use either thick cardboard or a piece of plywood that is not too thick.

In the second step, you should cut out small rectangles from cardboard that will imitate bricks. Please note that they must be the same size.

In the third step, you must glue the cut out "bricks" to the base with glue. Remember that there should be a small gap between them. And also do not glue them on the entire surface of the product. Indeed, in the central part there should be a small plate with an inscription, and in the upper part there should be a picture.

Note!

At the fourth stage, you should start lubricating the bricks with glue. Do not feel sorry for the glue at this stage, because it is necessary for you to put a crumpled napkin on top of it. From above it can also be covered with a small layer of glue for better impregnation.

Using a stick or the back of a brush, press the napkin into the gaps to form corners. Leave the product to dry.

Please note that any crafts from improvised means at home should be durable. Therefore, we strongly recommend not to save on binding materials.

At the fifth stage, the process of creating a visual resemblance to natural brickwork begins. Once the panel is dry, cover it with paint. Seams must be painted over with bronze paint.

At the sixth stage, paint the bricks a second time. However, this time you need to use a dry brush. To do this, dip it in bronze, wipe it on paper to make it dry, and then dip it again in the color you used to paint the bricks.

Note!

Remember that to achieve maximum similarity, you should move the brush in only one direction.

In the seventh stage, which is the final one, you should cover ready product transparent varnish and attach the hooks on which the keys will hang.

Crafts for the backyard

If you are the owner of a country house, then for you the process of decorating is not limited only to the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe dwelling. Therefore, to improve the area around the house, you should use garden crafts from improvised means that will decorate any garden or vegetable garden.

For their manufacture, you can use plastic bottles, hemp, tires and old Stuffed Toys. In this case, it all depends on what set of tools and materials you have.

Crafts from tires are very popular, because it is quite simple to create them, but at the same time they look original and interesting.

Note!

For example, you can create a real cup out of tires, which will become a wonderful flower garden. To create it, you will need one tire, a round board (the diameter of the board should be larger than the tire), paint, a small piece of rubber.

The tire and board must be painted in the color that you like. If you have the skills of an artist, you can use them to decorate the product with beautiful images.

In the event that you do not have such drawing skills, you can paint the design in one color or with polka dots. The handle of the cup should be secured with a large stapler. And now your product is ready.

We draw your attention to the fact that even children's crafts from improvised means can become a worthy decoration for your garden. Use the crafts the kids made from plastic bottles and cups. Despite their simplicity, they look quite original.

If they are small, use them to decorate your porch or window sills. Thus, you can focus on them, and they will not get lost in a large area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe garden (garden).

Photo crafts from improvised means

Every hostess and owner wants to make their home beautiful and comfortable. This article contains the most different ideas for the home, which allow you to achieve this result with a small investment of time, money and effort.

We decorate the walls

Recently, walls painted or pasted over with plain wallpaper have become very popular. Yes, they serve as a great backdrop for accessories, furniture, etc. But large empty spaces require some additions. How to decorate an empty wall? There are many ways, you just need to choose the right one.

Maps on the walls

An extremely simple and very effective home idea that helps solve the problem of empty walls is to stick a geographical map. It is not suitable for every room and not for every interior, but for a children's room, study, balcony or loggia, and in some cases even for a bedroom or living room, you can find options. It is important to choose the right map for the interior, and there are not only “ordinary” ones - geographical ones. There are vintage, navigational, stylized, etc.

Where can you find such cards? Geographic maps can be found in bookstores or stationery stores. You will not find stylized or vintage ones there. Some options can be found in wallpaper stores. There they are in the form of photo wallpapers. There are many different ones on Aliexpress, beloved by many, you can search in other online stores. But there is another option: find the card you like on the Internet, save it to a medium and print it out in a company that deals with outdoor advertising. The only requirement is a large card format. They, of course, will be able to increase it, but not to infinity. So the original image should be of high quality and large.

Making modular paintings

The idea for a home - paintings and photos on the walls - is not new and many are fed up. Yes, this is a classic, but I want something new and unusual. One of the options is modular paintings. This is one image, divided into a different number of fragments. Fragments can be different in size or the same. Often these "pieces of images" are called "modules", hence the name "modular picture".

As an object, you can take any poster, poster, photo wallpaper. You can, again, print the image you like at an advertising agency. In this case, you can even take your photo or close friends, your favorite landscape, etc. Based on the composition of the picture, it is divided into several parts, cut. Frames are made for fragments. The dimensions of the frames should be 3-5 cm smaller than the fragments so that the module can be wrapped and fixed on the back side.

Nature is one of the most popular motifs The setting sun on the sea — what could be more romantic Beach, sun, summer…
And again flowers ... Symmetrical splitting is also possible Fantasy - an option for teenagers

Frames can be made from wooden planks, covered with thin plywood or fiberboard. But the easiest way is to take a foam of sufficient density (300-350 g / m³) with a thickness of 4-5 mm or more. It costs a little, you can cut it with any hacksaw, it will not damage the paper, it weighs a mere trifle, so you can even fix the modules on double-sided tape. You can attach images to the tablets with glue (find the right one), or with a construction stapler and staples.

Decorative mirrors

Ideas for a home using mirrors are not new. The first samples of this magical glass appeared before our era and were extremely expensive and rare. And no wonder. The mirror itself is an excellent accessory, and if it has an unusual shape or an amazing frame, it will definitely become an interior decoration.

It's so simple - circles from mirrors, and the interior is transformed by Butterflies from the mirror - an interesting idea
If you finish a shelf, chest of drawers, bedside table in the same style ...

Such compositions can be made not only from an ordinary mirror - coated glass. There is an acrylic mirror on the market. It is flexible and absolutely safe material. It does not give such a perfect reflection as a "normal" mirror, but for these conditions it is not required. You need a plastic material that is easy to work with. They sell sets of fragments of various shapes and sizes, on the reverse side of which double-sided tape is pasted. Attaching such a mirror is simple: remove the protective film from the adhesive tape, apply and press. All.

We make accessories for home decoration

Many ideas for the home relate to the creation of unique handicrafts that make our home memorable, cozy. It is these things that create the atmosphere of the house. Moreover, it is not at all necessary to spend an incredible amount of time and money on their creation. There are very simple ideas using the most ordinary, and sometimes junk things.

Home ideas are a sea of ​​possibilities to improve the interior or make your life more comfortable...and sometimes both

Decoration of vases and bottles with lace

Amazing transformations can take very little time. For example, from ordinary vase, bottles or jars can make a vase of unique beauty. And the process itself will take 10-15 minutes. This is if you have everything at hand. And, in addition to decoration objects, only lace, PVA glue, scissors and a brush are needed.

Everything is exactly as you thought. We just wrap the vessel with lace, cut it to size, glue it, wait until it dries. This is all. But the result will please you.

Who said lace has to be white...

Lace can be bought or knitted. The second option allows you to decorate vases of complex shapes, which can be decorated with ordinary lace with great difficulty. If you don’t know how to knit, but want to decorate a vase with an unusual shape, look for a stretch one. There is also such, and in a fairly wide range. With the help of a stretching openwork, most of the problems are removed.

Zen garden

If you are looking for original ideas for the home, consider a miniature zen garden. It is easy to make, looks great, and can also help you relax and calm down after a hard day's work. Only this accessory is not for families with small children…. You will understand why.

The Zen garden in the original is quite a complex system, but stylizations can be made from a transparent rounded container or even from a glass candy bowl, a vase, a small aquarium. You will also need sand for landscaping, terrariums or aquariums and a fat plant or cactus.

First, let's figure out how to deal with a plant. it can be planted in a small pot, and buried in sand. Instead of a pot, you can use a sock with soil (tie a sock). Some plants (cacti) can be planted directly in the sand. In general, choose any method, but when landing directly in the sand, you need to take care of normal drainage - put pebbles on the bottom.

Sand is poured into the container, a pot with a plant or its roots is installed, all this is covered with sand to a certain level. All is ready. Now the surface of the sand is leveled and drawings are applied to it. There is a special metal stick for drawing, but a wooden one is also suitable for a start.

If you want to get closer to the original, you can make a desktop version of the Japanese garden from a small box. The frame of the box is assembled from wooden blocks or bamboo trunks, the bottom is usually made from plywood or well-fitted and finished wooden planks. You can also make legs.

The resulting container is also filled with fine sand, but what else to add there is up to you. You can plant several plants, lay stones, pebbles, put candles, a statue of the Buddha. In general, here everyone creates their own Zen))

Mini garden in the house

There are two types of miniature gardens that can be made to decorate the interior of a house or apartment: open and semi-closed. An open mini-garden is made in large flat pots, pallets. You can use miniature bonsai plants, succulents and small cacti.

When choosing plants, pay attention not only to size, but also to the soil in which the plants grow. With a sufficiently large area of ​​​​the mini-garden, it can be divided into zones with different soil acidity, but this will require physical separation, as well as differentiation using physical plastic partitions - so that the soils do not mix.

In such an interior decoration, a real garden is recreated. With paths, benches, rockeries, etc. You can put a toy house, make a pond. Anything your imagination tells you.

Semi-closed mini-gardens are made in glass containers. Round ones look very interesting: aquariums, vases. Soil or stones are poured into them, plants are planted. But in such a limited volume, it is necessary to select plants not only according to the type of soil, but also the degree of illumination, irrigation regime, etc. It will not work in different ways to care for plants in a jar.

The smallest gardens ... And then - a moss garden ... a piece of a fairy tale

In such containers, you can grow different varieties of moss. In fact, they are very beautiful and only in such miniature gardens can one examine them to the smallest detail. Some of them resemble trees or shrubs, others are more like herbaceous plants. A wide variety of compositions are created from pebbles and moss, reproducing real landscapes or taking us to a fairy-tale land.

DIY sofa cushions

If you look at photos of interiors, you can see that in most of them pillows give a highlight to the interior. With their help, a boring interior turns into a lively and memorable one. In addition, a large number of pillows allows you to relax comfortably. Such ideas for a home allow you to quickly change the “mood of the interior”, adding home comfort.

In the case of using fabrics, everything is clear - we select the color and texture for the interior. But there are homemade pillows, from which it breathes comfort. A striking example of this is knitted pillows. A variety of patterns, colors, shapes. But the result is the same - they really want to hug, squeeze. They look very unconventional.

From old flannelette pajamas and a sweater And these old jeans turn into an original pillowcase ... you just need a fabric with an adhesive base Knitted miracle - very comfortable Lace for finishing pillows - you need to choose the style Fleecy fabrics - simple and effective

What if you don't know how to knit? It's not a problem. There are old sweaters. Yours or children's. They make very interesting and neat pillows. You cut off the old knitted products along the sleeves, put a pillow into a half-finished pillowcase, sew it on both sides. Everything, the designer pillow is ready.

You can also use lace, fleecy fabrics, old jeans, even pajamas. Everything is in motion. And the weirder the coloring is, the more interesting the result is.

Home ideas: do-it-yourself little things

The atmosphere and comfort in the house are created not only by global things. Many small things that can be made from improvised materials bring no less and, sometimes, more pleasure and benefit. You use them often. And you don’t even look at the same paintings or mirrors in a month. A number of ideas for turning your home into a cozy and comfortable place have been collected in this section.

Opportunities - the sea

Shoe tray with pebbles

Owners of private houses have to go out into the yard regardless of the weather. Therefore, shoes are not always shining clean. Many get out of the situation by placing a rubber mat near the door or by placing a rubber pallet. Yes, the dirt does not spread, but the view is not the most attractive. You can significantly improve the situation simply by pouring pebbles into the pan. Water will flow over the stones, no drips are visible on them, dirt too. Periodically, it will be necessary to soak the pebbles in water and rinse to remove the accumulated dirt, but pebbles are reusable material and simply cannot be “erased”.

If there is no rubber pallet, you can knock down a wooden box with a side height of about 10 cm. Pebbles can be found on the banks of a river, sea, etc. In extreme cases, you can find it in designer stores or where they sell products for aquariums. But buying this "charm" is expensive.

Scarf storage

There are usually a lot of scarves, neckerchiefs and other similar products in every family. How to store them so that they do not take up a lot of meta, are always at hand, and at the same time do not wrinkle? There are several life hacks that you can easily do yourself.

First. We attach to a regular hanger metal rings. Rings can be plastic or metal. Both can be found in the departments that sell . There are just no, in shape, size and material. Rings can be nailed to wooden hangers / hangers / trempels, attached with staples from a stapler, glued or tied with threads to plastic ones. And that's it, you have a device for storing scarves.

The situation is a little more complicated with the second device. You will need a processed board and a dozen or two clothespins. We fasten the clothespins to the bar on one side. They can be nailed, fastened with screws, glued. You will also need hinges to secure the structure itself to the wall.

Both ideas for a home are practical, require a minimum of funds and a little time. And evaluate the benefits yourself. Especially in the spring-autumn period, when there are a lot of scarves, shawls, planters on the shelf.

Instead of a bookshelf

- a good thing, but they are not appropriate everywhere, and good copies cost a lot of money. But books have to be stored somewhere. Exit - metal brackets. When they are installed, the bottom book serves as a support for milking 4-5 pieces, which simply fit on it.

Book holder - everything ingenious is simple

The disadvantage is obvious - the lower book is not available. The way out is to put the most unpopular or unnecessary one down.

Key holders and other small items

One of the biggest problems is where to hang the keys so that they can be quickly found, and also instantly hung or removed. One of the good options is a magnetic board, but where to look for it is a question. But you can make funny holders of tennis balls. They are cut about a third of the diameter. That's all. The holder is ready. It just needs to be anchored somewhere. You can - on the wall with nails, you can attach several pieces on a separate board, and attach the board itself to the wall, closet, etc.

Instead of a housekeeper - pretty faces

You can make such a holder for small things in a matter of seconds. Longer to look for tennis balls. And to make it even more interesting, eyes are glued to the ball. It turns out such a funny smiley.

Basket made of plastic bins and clothespins

The household is full of plastic food containers, but ideas for a home with their participation are rare. We found one such option, in which the hero is a liter mayonnaise container. In principle, any jar of large diameter and low height can be used. Otherwise, the "basket" will be inconvenient to use.

Waste to income - a basket from a plastic jar

Using universal glue, glue the container with clothespins. When the glue dries, cover the surface with varnish or wood oil. We cover the inside with a cover made of cotton or linen. We make it a little longer than necessary so that you can hide the unsightly edge behind the lapel.

The handle is made of steel wire with a diameter of 3-4 mm. We bend an arc out of it. At one end we make a loop, in the sidewall with the help of a nail heated on fire, we make two diagonally located holes (one opposite the other). We pass the formed loop on the handle into one hole. On the second side, we bend the wire, thread it through the second hole, and then form a loop. We decorate the handle with a hemp rope. You can also make basket decorations from it. If you know how to weave macrame - great, no - an ordinary pigtail woven from several threads will do.

Sofa or armchair stand for cups/glasses/newspapers

Drinking tea in your favorite chair is a great idea. But there is nowhere to put a cup, the phone always falls between the seat and the “bylets”. The armrests of modern models are soft, you can’t put anything on them. Here we came up with smart people make a stand for cups / glasses (pictured). Extremely simple and very convenient thing. Few home ideas will bring you more pleasant moments.

You will need three boards with a width of at least 25 cm. They are knocked down in the form of the letter “P” (the connection can be strengthened with carpentry corners). The height of the jumper is a little more than the height of the armrest, the table should protrude no more than 1/3 of the width of the seat, otherwise you simply won’t sit in the chair. The structure is placed sideways, the lower part is pushed under the chair. It serves as an emphasis and does not allow the structure to roll over. To be sure, make the lower part much longer than the “table”. Also, for mobility, you can install wheels, but do not forget that the legs of modern furniture are low and the wheels need small ones, and they will have to be mounted on the side. Otherwise, the stand simply will not go under the chair.

Where to hide dog bowls

Dog owners know how difficult it is to find a place for dog bowls. Dogs living in an apartment or house are usually fed in the kitchen. There they put bowls. But they are needed for half an hour a day, and then they get underfoot on the floor all day. You can solve the problem, and elegantly. We place the bowls in one of the drawers. Needed - opened the box, poured food. Feeding is over - the bowls have been washed, put in place, the box has been pushed back. Everything is perfect and does not interfere with anyone.

This idea will require a slight modernization of the box. A plank of a small section or a corner is stuffed around the perimeter. A rectangle of the desired size is cut out of plywood or other sheet material. We cut holes in it under the bowls, then paint (if necessary). That's all, the idea is implemented. It remains to train pets.

Slipper storage idea

In any house or apartment with two or more inhabitants, slippers get lost all the time, get confused and disappear somewhere. One of interesting ideas solutions to the problem are such pipes / holders for slippers. Each pair has its own pipe. Order guaranteed.

Pipes can be made of stainless steel, you can cut them from plastic pipes of large diameter. It will only be necessary to process the cut well - so that it is comfortable and beautiful.

My home is my castle. Yes, that's what they often say. But you and I do not live in the Middle Ages, our fortress should not be an ordinary house, but a cozy nest, where everything is beautiful and comfortable. In this article, we will take a look together at various room decor ideas that you can do yourself at no extra cost.

Hallway

Even the simplest entrance area can be made functional and stylish. Wood paneling will bring a fresh touch to the interior. Not only is it just beautiful, it is also convenient. On the panel you can screw hooks for bags and jackets. You can also make a small shelf on top for useful little things.

For small apartments there is also an interesting solution. Shoe rack, hooks and cabinets can be combined into one organizer.

An ordinary front door can also be made a stylish element with the help of wooden fennels.

So that the shoes do not interfere and do not stain anything, you can make an unusual stand from a wooden box and stones. So even after a walk in the rain, your hallway will remain clean.

By the way, instead of pebbles, you can use an artificial plastic grass mat.

An old ladder can be used as a shoe rack. Now all the shoes will be at hand.

For a couple of years now, it has been fashionable to make all sorts of homemade things from wooden pallets. In the hallway, you can use them as shoe stands. From above, you can make a shelf for small things or just put flowers, and attach hooks for umbrellas on the sides.

For pet owners, there is a little life hack. So that dog or cat bowls do not interfere with the passage, fix them on a separate shelf in the closet or under the countertop.

Surprise your guests with a non-standard approach to such an ordinary thing as coat hooks. Wooden slats, branches, screws, a little imagination and voila! Unusual hanger is ready.

Bathroom and toilet room

These rooms should be, first of all, comfortable. However, beauty should not be forgotten. After all, everyone is pleased when the necessary things are at hand, when you do not need to untangle the wires from the hair dryer or rush around in search of ear sticks. We offer several simple ways organization of space.

An old closet drawer or shutters from a flea market can be turned into a toiletry holder.

And old floorboards can be used in wall decor. It looks unusual, but it is done very simply: the slats are either glued to the wall or screwed with self-tapping screws. From above they can be painted, varnished or decorated in some other way.

Now it is very possible to use jars for serving drinks and dishes. Why not use them in decor? You don't have to look for those very Mason jars that the whole Internet is going crazy about. Any others will do.

We are all used to the fact that towels hang on hooks and take up a lot of space. Use shelves to store bath accessories. And convenient, because you can put something else on the shelves, and beautiful.

Now it has become very possible to use stone for finishing the bathroom. They cover the walls, decorate the bath. You can even make a rug out of pebbles! Just do not forget in this case the rubber base, so as not to scratch the floor.

In order not to bother with the separation of laundry before washing, make a rack with several storage baskets at once. Baskets can be painted in the color of the linen for which they are intended.

By the way, about laundry. Tired of plain white washing machine? Color her. All you need is indelible enamel and a stencil. The latter can be made from masking tape.

Living room

It is not a problem to get a stylish rack quickly and not expensively. Use wooden boxes. They can be arranged as you need, making shelves of various sizes. There is another plus here - you can assemble such a locker with the whole family and have great fun.

By the same principle, you can make a desktop. You will need modular shelving from Ikea, a countertop, slats, self-tapping screws and some paint. The number of shelving and the shape of the entire table depends on your needs.

In general, the use of wood in the interior is one of the highlights of this year. Wooden pallets, parts from old furniture, stairs, branches, etc. are used.

Hanging shelves will help make the living room more interesting. You can use both ropes of various diameters and belts.

A cornice is always a very expensive pleasure. And if you have a non-standard window and suitable size you just need to order, then it turns into a continuous torment. The only way out is to use small-diameter plastic water pipes. You just need to paint them in a color that suits your interior.

Another life hack on the subject of curtains. How to decorate a window without using a cornice at all? You will need a wooden rail and a lot of hooks for clothes. Don't forget to sew the loops to the curtain.

Space can be zoned in different ways: walls, screens, curtains. There is another way - jute cords. You can use any other materials like ribbons or colored fishing line.

Bedroom

Unusually decorate the walls of the bedroom will help garlands and photographs. But this does not require heavy frames with glass or any special features. Photos can be broadcast on a fishing line, rope or directly on the wall on double-sided tape. And one-color garlands will create an atmosphere of comfort and romance.

Shelves of an unusual shape will add freshness to the interior.

Great idea for girls to organize their decorations. You will need branches, cords and decorative nails. The latter need to be stuffed on branches at the required distance and hung on the wall with laces.

The new is the well-forgotten old. The same goes for decor. It is not necessary to buy a new chest of drawers or wardrobe when you have an old one. It can be simply painted. And then your favorite thing will serve you for many more years.

To save space, there is one very simple "chip" - a wall-rack. This will help get rid of most of the closets in the room.

Add magic to your bedroom with cotton clouds and garlands.

An old ladder can serve not only as a clothes hanger, but also as a library shelf. This solution seems strange, but just try it - it's really convenient.

The most important element of the bedroom is the bed. The large double bed is a dream. However, it often comes at a cost. Do not despair, because making your own bed frame is not at all difficult. With the help of wooden slats of different thicknesses, self-tapping screws, saws and stains, you can make the bed frame exactly the way you want.

Kitchen

The kitchen is the most visited place in the house. Making it functional and comfortable is easy enough, and now we will look at several examples of rational organization of space, which will not only help to put things in order, but also make the room more comfortable.

To prevent spatulas, spoons, forks and knives from getting in the way on the countertop, use jars. If you paint them, it will be generally great.

In small kitchens, you need to make the most efficient use of space. Hidden shelves and built-in wardrobes in this case are your best friends.

Even in the cabinets themselves, you can organize the space so that more can fit. Internal shelves can be mounted not only on the walls, but also on the doors. It seems to be such a simple idea, but what a useful one.

Life hack: to keep pot and pan lids from taking up a lot of space, use ordinary plastic towel hooks.

There is always one problem in deep boxes - it is difficult to get to what is in the depths. The solution is simple - round rotating shelves. All products are visible and easy to get.

We are all used to the fact that in the kitchen drawer, spoons, forks, etc. are stored vertically. And if the box is too small for, for example, a rolling pin? Diagonal placement of sectors will accommodate everything.

So that all the spices are in sight and not lost on the kitchen worktop, make a stand with a ladder. On the top tier, you can put small pots with herbs, such as parsley, dill, cilantro or basil. Now everything is at hand.

Corner sofas and kitchen islands can also be assembled with your own hands. And you can think of places for storing kitchen utensils in them. Not only will no one have such furniture, but it will also fully meet all your needs.

One of the very handy tricks in the kitchen is the use of magnetic tape. It can store knives, as well as spices in jars with metal lids. Great idea to save space on your kitchen table.

And your favorite mugs can be hung on ordinary hooks. Both stylish and comfortable.

Who said that when we grow up, we part with our toys? There is no need to do so. You can use small figurines in your interior decor. They will be able to get new life as magnets, coasters, pens, or anything else that you come up with yourself.

It would seem that you can do with such an ordinary thing as a refrigerator. Here we all love to hang notes on it with reminders. But what if you write on the refrigerator itself, and with crayons? You just need to paint it all over with special paint for chalkboards and enjoy. By the way, this technique works on any surface.

Yard and garden

When decorating a house, do not forget about what is outside of it. Let's start with the entrance area. From concrete blocks and a couple of wooden slats, you can make a cute and comfortable table where flowers, a watering can, a flashlight or something else will live.

By the way, you can make various benches from concrete blocks, decorate flower beds, build a barbecue and even make flower pots. It all depends on your imagination.

You can also make stylish ottomans and armchairs with your own hands. You need old tires, liquid nails and thick rope. The finished structure can be painted in any color. Such ottomans are suitable for both indoors and outdoors, because they do not care about rain.

Wooden boxes or pallets can serve as the basis for a garden cabinet. Here you can store various accessories for flowers, pots, watering cans and other tools. And if you leave a flat work surface on top, then you can make something or transplant flowers.

What can be unusual in a flower pot? It would seem - nothing. However, here you can surprise everyone. Plant succulents in a birdcage. When they grow up, it will be very beautiful. And instead of the usual hanging pot you can use an old chandelier.

Ordinary children's inflatable pool can be used as a sofa. Just put a blanket or blanket inside, and cover the sides with pillows.

It is so beautiful to use candles in the garden, but they are constantly blown out by the wind. To prevent this from happening, you can make candlesticks from empty cans or from ordinary glass ones. You can decorate everything with pebbles or ribbons as desired.

These, of course, are not all ideas for home and garden, only a small part of what you can do with your own hands. You just need not be afraid to experiment and fill your home with cute and beautiful things.
