DIY Bookcase and Shelf Ideas

Beautiful bookcases! The beauty of bookcases is that they can be used for far more than books. A good nook for your books is important, but there are so many more opportunities for a bookcase in your space. The same thing goes for DIY shelving. This is where your creativity and inventiveness comes into play. Use these shelves to hold knick-knacks, plants, games, toys, or turn them into drink stations. The DIY projects you will find below will impress anyone who walks into your room.
The Children's Numbered Bookcase is perfect for a kid's playroom and teaches them how to store their toys and books in the proper places.
The possibilities for decorating your room are endless! Regardless of your design tastes and budget, you can find the right crafts for you from this list of 20 DIY Room Ideas
DIY Chairs

Creative Chairs! Now, here's a category that has endless opportunities. Next time you drive past an abandoned chair at the end of a driveway, turn around and pick it up. You can refinish and reupholster almost any chair to become even better than new. You can even upcycle more than the chair, for example, using an old pair of jeans to reupholster an old chair seat.
Beyond that, check out the How to Dye Fabric Slipcovers tutorial so that, if you can't fix a chair or couch, you can cover it with beautiful slipcovers dyed to your color of choice.

DIY Nightstands and Side Table Ideas

What else do you need? We all have or need a lot of surfaces in our homes because they are so useful. A table is one of the best places to set flowers or nice pieces of home decor. Also, no one wants to hold their glass the entire time they are sitting on the couch or chair. Nightstands are particularly necessary for alarm clocks, lamps, and phones.
But, the most important thing is that we want these tables to be more than just functional. They should be a piece of interior decor that helps tie the room together. The following DIY projects will certainly do that. With all of these WOW-worthy table ideas, you're sure to find something you'd love to make and display in your home.
Now that you've got some fantastic furniture pieces, you need some organization ideas to perfect your home.
