Home Aesthetic DIY: 10 Easy Projects to Refresh Your Space

If your space is feeling a little blah lately, you’re not alone. The good news? You don’t need to break the bank or knock down walls to give your home a whole new energy. Whether you're craving a little spring home decor boost or just want to add more personality to your space, these 10 Home Aesthetic DIY projects are fun, low-stress, and actually make a difference.

Let’s dive in. Tools optional. Creativity required.

Sometimes the simplest changes have the biggest impact. Swap out your everyday table setup with something more layered and intentional.

Try this: Lay down a linen runner, add a ceramic bowl of lemons, a few tapered candles, and a mix of glassware. Boom—elevated, easy, and totally photogenic.

Bonus tip: Use mismatched handmade ceramic plates for a collected look. Imperfection = charm.

Your coffee table deserves more than remote controls and coasters. Time to treat it like the centrepiece it is.

Try this: Stack 2-3 beautiful books, top with a sculptural object or small plant, and add a scented candle. Vary heights for visual interest and keep the colour palette neutral for that effortlessly curated vibe.

Don’t underestimate the power of movement. Simply switching up the layout of a room can make it feel brand new.

Try this: Angle your bed differently, pull your sofa away from the wall, or swap the location of two armchairs. It’s like a reset button for your home energy.

This is the first impression of your home so make it a good one. And no, you don’t need a grand foyer.

Try this: Add a rattan side table or bench, a small mirror, and a bowl or tray for keys. Drop in a plant or a few hanging hooks, and you’ve created a space that’s both pretty and practical.

You don’t need to be an artist to put something handmade up on your walls.

Try this: Frame a beautiful piece of fabric, a handwritten recipe, or some pressed flowers. Or go for that oversized linen fabric hanging with wooden dowels—minimalist, textured, and totally Pinterest-worthy.

Plants are the quickest way to breathe life into your home.

Try this: Start with easy-care options like snake plants, pothos, or even dried eucalyptus in a vase. Place them in handmade pots, woven baskets, or recycled jars to match your home aesthetics.

This one’s easy and makes a huge impact. Swap your cushions, throws, and bedding for pieces in softer, spring-inspired colours and natural textures.

Try this: Layer linen, cotton, and waffle knits. Stick to earthy tones, pastels, or monochrome if you're into a minimalist vibe. It feels like a full room makeover without the commitment.

You don’t need an entire room—just a corner and some good styling.

Try this: Find a comfy lounge chair, throw over a linen blanket, and place a small teak or rattan side table beside it. Add a lamp and a stack of books. Instant cosy zone achieved.

Lighting affects everything, and updating it can totally transform your space.

Try this: Swap out overhead bulbs for rattan pendants, add some table lamps or wall sconces, and string up some fairy lights if you’re feeling playful. Bonus points for lighting a candle at night—even better if it smells like citrus, cedar, or eucalyptus.

Shelving is your secret weapon when it comes to creating visual interest without clutter.

Try this: Pick one or two shelves to restyle. Use a mix of books, ceramics, natural objects (hello, driftwood or stone), and framed prints. Stick to a tight colour palette and let the objects breathe—no cramming!

These DIY projects aren’t about perfection—they’re about intention. Updating your space should feel joyful, personal, and totally doable. Whether you're refreshing your table decor, playing with lighting, or just moving things around, each small shift brings new energy to your home.

So put on your favourite playlist, light a candle, and dive into your next home aesthetic DIY moment. You’ve got this
