No matter how spacious the home is, and no matter how thoughtfully the owners approach its arrangement, there is often not enough storage space in it. After all, over time, both the composition of the family and the habits of its members change, so the house becomes overgrown with all sorts of necessary things that need to find a suitable place.
Useful things for the home with your own hands
To do this, it is not at all necessary to buy a new cabinet or squeeze an additional module into the kitchen. You can do a lot with your own hands without spending a lot of money and turning things that have become unnecessary or leftover building materials into useful devices. Or creating unique decor for your home from them.
Plaid
A large soft blanket can be spread on the bed, covered with it on the sofa, or even spread on the floor while playing with the children. In short, quickly and easily transform the interior of a room. In addition, the blanket will warm you up on those days when the heating has already been turned off, and the house has not yet had time to warm up - a real benefit.
This model is decorated with tassels on the corners and is sold in three sizes: 100 × 150, 130 × 170 and 150 × 200 cm. Seven colors are available to order - you can choose the one that suits any situation.

Crafts for the home from scrap materials
At home you can always find items that you can restore, decorate and get a completely new thing. A small thing, but a pleasant one, especially if it was done with your own hands.
If you do embroidery on a regular sieve, you will get an original panel for the kitchen. If you remember, we have already looked at how to make a large picture on the wall using the grid embroidery technique. Very wonderful ideas and not difficult to implement.
There is also a pattern for embroidering a pink flamingo.
So often we lack a comfortable table in front of the TV so that we can sit in an armchair and drink tea. But it’s not difficult to make it yourself.
Materials you will need:
- wooden board 5 cm thick
- stain
- dye
- sponge or brush
- furniture handles
- self-tapping screws
- jigsaw, screwdriver
- masking tape
- Ruler and pencil.
How to do:
- Using a jigsaw, cut the board so that it is about 60 cm long.
- Cover it with stain and let dry.
- Apply masking tape to limit the area to be painted and paint the board the color you want. When the paint is dry, do the same with the other part of the product.
- Screw on the handles; if desired, you can also attach the legs.
Transform an old stool into a stylish piece with jute twine.
The surface needs to be sanded and it will have to be removed from the legs to make it more convenient to work further. The end of the twine needs to be secured with staples and begin to wrap it around the board in one direction.
When the entire area is covered, we begin to make turns across, while pulling the jute through the layers of rope using the darning method.
Tip: it is more convenient to weave if you pull the twine, folded in half, with the loop forward.
Secure with a stapler and screw the legs back.
We came across the idea of creating a table from an old sewing machine a few years ago when we held a competition on the blog. Therefore, I will leave a link to that post so that you can familiarize yourself in detail with the manufacturing technology.
Succulents
A godsend for those who don’t like or constantly forget to care for living plants. Artificial succulents look very fresh and natural; at first glance they cannot be distinguished from real flowers. And they will be able to delight you with their appearance all year round.
The only possible inconvenience is that you will have to think about the composition. Buy pots or a box, and also decide in what order to place the flowers. But these are minor things.
Price: from 29 rubles.

To make your home cozy, you need not only to choose the appropriate decor, but also to keep things in order. To prevent small items from lying around on the shelves and spoiling the overall appearance, put them in such an elegant hexagon-shaped box.
You can also fill the product with dried flowers, pine cones, beads, or place small candles, shells from your last vacation, and other items inside. In this case, there is no need to talk about practical benefits, but it will be beautiful.

How to beautifully and quickly make various nice little things for your home
We are used to putting fresh flowers in a vase. Of course, it’s beautiful, and if you take the necessary measures, you can keep the bouquet in it longer.
I also like it when flowers float on the surface of the water in a wide bowl. I once saw such a picture in one office, it looks great and original. Moreover, it is not necessary to use many colors; even one is already an interesting decor.
To do this, the stems need to be cut short. It would be nice to have bubble wrap (this is usually used for packaging parcels from Ali and not only). You should cut out circles from it with a diameter slightly larger than the bud, and make a hole in the middle so that the stem can fit through it.
We put a film on the buds and place them in a vase with water. Due to the air bubbles, the flowers will appear on the surface.
Beautiful home decor - topiary. I have already talked about my experience of creating them; I made them from coffee beans and paper flowers. In general, there is a limitless flight of imagination here; you can use a variety of decorations.
This example in a glass is interesting.
You will need artificial flowers, a foam ball, scissors and glue.
We cut off the stems, drip a little glue onto the tip and, piercing the ball, attach the flowers to it.
Place the resulting design in a glass and tie a bow. It’s so easy and quick to make a beautiful gift with your own hands for the holiday.
Usually, needlewomen accumulate a lot of leftover yarn, so this is a great idea for using them as panels. Everything is clear and understandable.
How do you like this option of storing knives among legumes or straws? Very creative, beautiful and interesting.
Coasters for hot dishes can also be made in the same style from beans, corn and peas - it will be a fun set for the kitchen.
Let's try to make a hanger for our home with our own hands?
We will need a board, electrical tape, paint and hooks.
Using tape, we “draw” stripes on the board and paint the entire surface in the color we need. When we remove the tape, the design will remain on our product.
Paintings
The drawings are applied to canvases using high-quality machine printing: reviews say that the work was done carefully and the images are very clear. Buyers also respond well to the packaging: the paintings come in durable plastic tubes, so you don’t have to worry about the integrity of the contents.
You can choose one of three design options or order a set right away. There are also eight sizes to choose from. Please note that frames are not included in the set - you will have to purchase them separately.
Price: from 235 rubles.

Brush with Miniml dispenser
A small dish brush with a built-in reservoir makes the process simple: just press a button to get a new batch.
And you won’t need to take time off from the process. I recommend immediately purchasing replacement blocks and a second one, exactly the same, but with a softer working part.
Price: 334,267 rub.
Humidifier
The device helps maintain an optimal level of humidity in the room, which has a good effect on the condition of the skin and overall well-being. In addition, it saturates the air with a pleasant aroma if you drop a few drops of essential oil into a container of water. And this creates a special atmosphere in the house.
The humidifier automatically turns off when the water in the tank runs out. It is also equipped with a soft backlight, so it can be used as a night light. Reviews say that the device is compact, fits into any environment and operates almost silently.
