We all love a beautiful home, don’t we? Keeping this in mind, here is a handy source of weekend inspiration to transform your home into a happy place.
According to several surveys conducted, home improvement projects have been experiencing incredible pandemic-fuelled growth since the last year. There is a spur in creative activities to kill boredom and monotony. It comes as no surprise because families have been spending more time than ever before in their homes due to the lockdown. In addition to that, every individual also craves a space that uplifts the spirits during these challenging times.
So then, what better than doing something with your own hands and achieving a kind of self-fulfilment? We have some simple yet exciting projects for the living room, bedroom, kids room, kitchen, bathroom and balcony that can be completed in a weekend. The best part is that none of it requires calling in the professionals. You can do it all by yourself even if you have no prior experience in it. Let us help you with your aspirations without burning a hole in your pocket.
Living Room
Is there a DIY job that you keep meaning to do but never find (or make) the time? If yes, then what are weekends for? They can be the perfect time to take it up, express your individuality and maximise your creative self-confidence. In fact, with the right tools, you are already halfway there!
You don’t have to look at a blank wall space in your living room in dismay anymore. Get your hands working with a paintbrush and a paint colour that inspires you. Berger iPaint Self Painting Kit is the ideal starter kit if your walls need a bit of personality and punch. This DIY home wall painting kit has the right set of tools required to help you paint your walls all by yourself and comes with an instruction booklet to steer you in the right direction.

Bedroom
According to statistics, it is stated that individuals spend at least 1/3rd of their lives in the bedroom. So how about making it one of the most amazing places to be?
When it comes to bedroom decor, you can add a wonderful personal touch and fill it with things that make you happy. If you are a book lover, you can give your bookcase a facelift with funky washi tapes. What makes it a beautiful idea is that you get to show off your creative side and hone your skills as you develop from being just a consumer to a producer of something unique and lovely!
If you have a weathered dresser or a tired bedside table, you can give it a quick makeover with a glossy enamel paint in a beautiful colour. Berger’s iPaint Enamel Paint Kit is a great option as it works its magic on all wooden and metal surfaces.
Kids room
When it comes to the kids room, the possibilities are endless. You can indulge in many exciting DIY activities with them and strengthen your bond along the way! An easy way to add a unique touch to the room is by taking a beautiful long branch and hanging curtains on it. It is just as easy as it sounds! You can paint the branch a beautiful colour to give it a fresh, new look.
For the walls, you can go for a themed look with Berger’s DIY wall stickers range. It comes in various themes and sizes that are easy to apply and have strong adhesive which gives a durable finish. They are also eco-friendly, making them a great option for a kids room.
That is not all. We have some more options to decorate the kids room. You can explore the iPaint Wall Stencil kit as well. It boasts of interesting wall stencils with which you create beautiful patterns on the walls.
Kitchen
A kitchen overhaul can get expensive. However, that does not mean you cannot revamp your old kitchen cabinets and drawer fronts on your own. With Berger’s iPaint Enamel Paint, you can do it cost-effectively and quickly. A clean white or vibrant golden yellow enamel paint is just perfect to create a stunning statement.
For the dining room, you can create great visual interest with dip-dyed legs for the tables and chairs. To create a gold-accented look, you can go with gold enamel paint that exudes instant sophistication! You can also pick a colour like red for a striking look. This kitchen makeover can serve as the perfect me-time activity that you can immerse yourself in during the weekends.
Bathroom
If you have a small bathroom, you can install floating shelves to keep all your toiletries. You can also upcycle old mason jars to store lotions, shampoos and gels.
For basic repairs such as crack filling and tile grouting in your bathroom, you can turn to Berger iPaint Basic Repair Kit. It is easy to apply and provides excellent adhesion on the surface.
Balcony
We find balcony to be the most delightful little corner in the entire house. You can make this space relaxing with some interesting seating arrangements.
For décor pieces, you can add some colourful throw pillows on a small bench to create a cosy atmosphere. We know that shopping for throw pillows can be a bit pricey but not if you create your own! All you have to do is take a plain pillow and give it a designer look with a colourful paint scheme. You can paint horizontal or vertical stripes for a vibrant effect. You can even take a more ambitious path and go for a gradient effect on them.
Pro Tip: If you have three shades of a single colour, you can mix white to the main colour for variation and successfully achieve a gradient look on the throw pillows.
