So, forget about boring, everyday ceiling lamps and replace it with something more interesting. That could be a new material such as rattan or even feathers or an original shape that catches your eye.
If you wish to keep away from handling all sorts of wiring, you can simply buy a charming-looking floor lamp. Those come in various shapes and sizes these days and can be dimmable.For those who don’t have the space on the floor, know that peel and stick sconces are also widely available. They are battery operated, so you won’t need to mess with electricity either, just charge them once in a while. If needed, you can even get ones that have motion detectors.

Talking about peel and stick products, there are so many of them out there that can help you spruce up your walls, floors, and ceilings. The most obvious one is, of course, peel and stick wallpaper. The style selection you can find online is amazing! Everything from a solid color of your choice to a mural-like, one-of-a-kind art piece is available, you just need to look.
Once you get a pattern you like, don’t be afraid toexperimentwith it, too. Cut it up to make an arch, use it on your stairs, or line your bookshelves and kitchen cabinets with it. Put it on your ceiling to add extra umph to your space. Get peel and stick tiles and use it as a backsplash in your kitchen or even use it to cover up old flooring—the possibilities are endless.
However, no one will blame you if you find temporary wallpaper projects a bit too intimidating. With all the measuring and precision that it needs, it certainly can be a challenge. So, start small and get yourself a lovely rug. Just like wallpaper, they come in all shapes and sizes, with all sorts of patterns and colors that can breathe life into a room.
Somewhere in between taking hours and hours of time to glue something onto a wall and slapping a rug you just bought onto the floor is changing the cabinet handles in the kitchen. Don’t get us wrong, it’s a project too. You will need to choose from an array of different knobs and bar pulls and take your time replacing each one. But the end result will be worth it.
Other quick DIY solutions to upgrade your place include swapping out your shower head and replacing regular light bulbs with fancy color changing ones. You can also use stickers to make your light switches look chic and even employ washi tape to add some playfulness into the room.
Changing up your home to suit your personal style can help you feel more comfortable, so don’t be afraid to invest time and effort into it. And if you do make any sort of changes, make sure to capture them and put them online—maybe we’ll see you on this list next time.
