Refresh Your Space this Summer with Budget-Friendly DIY Projects

Take advantage of the sunny summer season to declutter, scrub, and organize your apartment. There’s a myriad of creative approaches to tidy up and purify your apartment that don’t require a big budget. Here are some inexpensive and easy summer DIY projects that can add a fresh vibe to your apartment home at Outlook DTC.

 

Capitalize on Wall Space: Use the vertical area in your apartment by mounting shelves or draping organizers. This brings your items off the floor, leading to a neat and spacious atmosphere. Inject your personal style into your apartment using cost-effective materials such as reclaimed wooden crates, painted pallets or floating shelves from your local hardware store.

Create a Control Center: Designate an area near your apartment entryway to function as a control station to manage your schedule, keys, mail, and more. Install a small corkboard or whiteboard to attach important reminders, appointments, and invites. Attach hooks for hanging keys, bags, and umbrellas. Adding a shoe rack or a small bench can keep your entryway tidy and clean.

DIY Storage Options: Craft creative DIY storage solutions that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Use decorative baskets, bins, or fabric-covered boxes to organize items such as books, magazines, accessories, and kitchen basics. Utilize under-bed space with plastic bins or reused drawers. Revamp old jars or containers to hold smaller things like stationery or jewelry.

Repurpose Mason Jars: Mason jars are versatile and can be repurposed in a multitude of ways to amp up the character and organization of your apartment. They can be turned into plant pots, candle holders, or bathroom storage for cotton balls, Q-tips, or toothbrushes. Paint them to match your color scheme or add decorative elements like ribbons or twine for a charming touch.

Refresh Your Walls: Update the look of your apartment by painting a feature wall or using removable wallpaper. Choose airy and light colors to give the illusion of more space. If the thought of painting or wallpapering the whole wall seems daunting, consider creating a gallery wall showcasing your favorite photos, artwork, or motivational quotes.

Homemade Air Fresheners: Keep your apartment smelling fresh and inviting by making your own air fresheners. Simmer water with a mix of citrus slices, herbs, and spices such as lemon, rosemary, and cinnamon. Alternatively, make fragrant sachets by filling small cloth bags with dried lavender, cloves, or potpourri. These homemade air fresheners are not only budget-friendly but free from the harsh chemicals typically found in store-bought ones.

 

Revamping your Outlook DTC apartment into a clean and organized haven doesn’t have to break the bank or be cumbersome. With a bit of creativity and some simple DIY projects, you can make the most of your space while adding a personal touch. From maximizing wall space to crafting storage solutions, the scope to turn your apartment into a cozy, organized haven is limitless, especially this summer. So, get those sleeves rolled up, gather your materials, and gear up for a fun-filled DIY adventure!
