Replace Light Fixtures

If the light fixtures in your kitchen, bathroom, or even your living room are outdated, consider replacing them. Choose a simple, modern fixture, or choose something more extravagant to be the centerpiece of the room. 

Don’t want to buy a new light fixture? DIY the fixture using a wooden beam and mason jars. Purchase your supplies at your local Do it Best store, then hang the string lights over the beam and fasten them into the mason jars to create a simple, yet classy look.

Install Shelves

A simple way to add stylish storage is through the use of shelves. Whether you choose to create built-in, hanging, or fixed-bracket shelving, this DIY project is easy to construct and perfect to elevate the look and feel of your walls.

At Do it Best, we have all the materials you need to install your own shelves. From string and hooks for hanging shelves to wood and brackets for other shelving, we’ve got you covered.

Organize Your Cabinets

Not construction savvy? Take time to reorganize your cabinets. Swap out the boxes and containers your food comes in to clear containers with labels for a minimalist look. 

Consider adding dividers into your cabinets to better section off your shelves. You can even install a lazy susan to access the back of your cabinets more easily.

Add A Kitchen Backsplash

The best way to bring a touch of life and color to your kitchen is by using a unique backsplash. Explore our backsplash options at Do It Best, then get started!

Apply thinset and put the backsplash up. Then, once it’s dry, you can grout, caulk, and finish the final touches. This easy DIY project is sure to give your kitchen a new, refreshed look. Our locations offer multiple grout and caulk options. Please consult our team to find out what will work best for your project.

Paint An Accent Wall

Add an accent color if your living room is bogged down with neutral tones. Choose a complementary color and paint an accent wall. Then, browse the Do it Best storefront and find some throw pillows, a centerpiece, or even a rug to add an extra pop of color to the room. 

Remember: It’s easy to go overboard, but this is merely an accent color. Be sure to have the original color remain dominant.

Include Houseplants

A great way to bring a touch of nature into any part of your living space is through the use of houseplants. This is a simple, cost-effective solution that requires little to no work at all.

First, choose where in your home you want to add plants. Next, find indoor-friendly plants that fit your aesthetic. Then, pot your plants and place them accordingly.
