Home projects, not just home improvement activities, can be so inspirational. They are a chance to learn new skills or flex some of your old ones. Use these endeavours as opportunities to improve your home and teach some life skills to your children. Try one or two this weekend.
Make More Space
Everyone needs more space to store their belongings and display their valuable possessions. If you find that you could benefit from a new shelf or two, take advantage of the chic industrial look that you can only get by using Galvanised Pipe in your next home project.
By making shelves with galvanised pipes, you are adding strength and longevity to your storage. There are so many creative ideas to try that it will be difficult to pick just one. The nice thing about that is that you can implement varying shelving units in different rooms to continue the galvanised metal look throughout your entire home.
Add Texture and Detail
It is not often that you reupholster your furniture to change it up. Instead, add textural details to enhance the features. This way, you can add new colours as the seasons, or your mood, change. Look for pillows that are multi-dimensional, have interesting visual appeal, or fun messages.
Pile on some strategically placed throw blankets so everyone can cuddle on movie night. Fold the blankets into rolls and stack them upright in inaccessible baskets. Choose baskets in a variety of materials, such as wood, metal, and even fabrics.

Paint Your Front Door
A quick and easy way to instantly brighten up the exterior of your home is to apply a fresh coat or two of paint to your front door. Follow this guide for helpful instructions on how to do it right the first time and improve your home’s kerb appeal.
The fun part of this project comes into play when picking out the new colour and hardware. Look for a timeless classic such as red to make an instant impact. Or go with a high-glass black to bring about instant sophistication to your home. Pick a colour that will inspire happiness every time you see it.
As for the hardware, if you like what you have and it is still in good condition, clean it up before putting it back on the door. Should you desire new hardware, now is the time to have some fun. Select sleek modern lines in any metallic you like, or go with curly Victorian designs that match your home.
Of note, make sure your new hardware will line up with any holes that the old ones left in your door. If not, fill and sand them before painting for a clean finish.
