6 Simple Home Projects You Can Do While Under Quarantine

As we currently deal with the novel coronavirus pandemic, stay at home orders are in place. So, why not make the time you spend while on quarantine more productive with some simple home projects?

It’s worth noting, though, that while you may have plenty of time to complete your DIY home projects, you may not have all the needed tools and supplies on hand. You’ll also definitely want to avoid doing projects or activities that are too dangerous and may result in a hospital trip.

With that in mind, we have gathered a list of 6 easy home projects that you can do – yup, no need for aLos Angeles handyman for these – to keep you busy and add value to your home while you have ‘a lot of spare times’ on your hands right now.

1. Rearrange Your Furniture

Sometimes having a fresh perspective doesn’t mean a full-on Pasadena remodel. A few rearrangements here and there can significantly change the demeanor of your entire Pasadena home and give it a fresh look. Start by trying a new furniture layout. Move your couches or chairs and tables to a new spot or mix things up by transferring a drawer from another room in your house to another spot where they can be useful.

• Touch Up Your Paint

Time to put those spare cans of paint to use. With the proper technique and the right color, touch-painting can immediately make select spots in your home, such as the walls, windowsills, door frames, floorboards, and more, look flawless and freshly-painted

• Deep Cleaning

Cleaning has gained extra attention these days, and for good reasons. As you do your routine cleaning, there are probably a few nooks and crannies that you tend to overlook. Now is the time you buckle down and do some serious cleaning. Disinfect high-touch surfaces, including your doorknobs, cabinet handles, light switches, sink faucets, and your electronic devices. Treat your appliances to a deep clean. Clean the light fixtures, your blinds and windows, drawers, and don’t forget to go underneath your bed.

• Cover Up an Old Appliance

Maybe you have old appliances at home and while they may still be fully functional, they may be rusty, covered with dings and dents, or in short, just start looking plain ugly. Well, no need to replace them. Peel-and-stick wallpapers can do the trick. Perfect for non-paintable surfaces, you can use pretty wallpapers to cover your old appliances such as your dishwasher or refrigerator and give them an instant facelift. Peel-and-stick wallpapers are easy to use, and you can find plenty of color and patterns to tie the look of your room together.

• Tidy Up Your Closet

If you have a messy closet, now is probably the best time to make it right. Take everything out, reorganize what you want to keep, and clean the interior. As to the things that you no longer use think about how you can repurpose them, maybe sell some of those nice garments you have, and just donate the rest.

• Add A Few Decorative Storage Space

Installing shelves is not only one of the best ways for you to increase your storage space but can also add some decorative elements to your Pasadena home. Can’t call a Pasadena handyman for your shelving project? No problem. All that’s needed is your creativity, some screws, brackets, and some materials that are just lying around your home like hard boards, metal or plastic baskets, or you can even buy pre-made shelves. Add a mix of functional and decorative items to your new shelves and you get a much-needed extra space that’s both pleasing and useful.
