DIY projects to complete in 2021

Over the past year our homes have become a hybrid of living, working and playing space that’s in constant use. Making the most of the room you have available has never been more important and there are many ways you can improve your living areas to make them as flexible, tranquil and practical as possible. 

Here, we provide our top 5 DIY projects that will make your home a haven of happiness, a picture of productivity and the perfect place to unwind after a hard day’s work.

  1. Small jobs that make a big difference

The good news is you don’t have to be a DIY expert or enthusiast to turn a living space from dull to dazzling. Choosing one small job to undertake every couple of months is a great way to make continual and cost-effective changes to your home. For example, simply painting a room can improve its appearance as well as make it brighter, lighter and more liveable. Replacing light fittings, renewing flooring and reviewing a room layout are also all great ways to liven up living space without breaking the bank.

Here at Covers we offer a wide range of painting and decorating supplies and accessories. From paint, rollers and brushes to varnishes, wood stains and dyes, we have everything you need to get the job done.

  1. Refresh your working from home area

For many people, the kitchen table has been the default for home working. However, it’s not always conducive with concentration and switching between the daily grind and the daily unwind can prove tricky. Instead, think about transforming a corner of a room or repurposing unused space, such as under the stairs – you’ll be surprised at how much space you can make from even the smallest of places. Our blog provides a round-up of the products and materials that will improve and enhance your work space so it’s a happy and comfortable hub of creativity, including maintenance-free flooring, insulation and lighting.

  1. Give your garden a makeover

Whatever work you’ve got planned for your garden we have a host of ‘how to’ videos that will help you undertake a range of tasks, including how to install a fence panel, how to install composite decking, how to build a raised sleeper, how to lay a decorative gravel bed and much more!
