If you’re renting but want to upgrade the look of your walls or lighting then our DIY wall lights are perfect! Round wall lights are trending and this home improvement hack is easy, affordable, temporary and super cute! I went for a concrete sconce for a sophisticated look that also goes really well with a variety of interior design styles and home decor.

Do you have an empty wall in your living room that you have no idea what to do with? Putting wall art is the easiest solution for bare walls. Try out DIY driftwood wall art: Make your own drift wood wall hanging. This is one sure way of creating interest and impact in your living room. Moreover, this eco-friendly DIY wall art is also a great way to bring in an element of nature to your space.

Smell plays such an important part in how we experience a space and room diffusers are one of my favourite ways for making a room smell amazing! So, we give you a tutorial on how to make homemade room diffusers with essential oils.
