Revitalizing the look of your home doesn’t have to be expensive. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of our favourite budget-friendly ideas to inspire your next DIY home improvement project. Whether you’re looking for a small refresh or a simple addition to your space – here are five ways you can update your home for under $100.

1. DIY Sliding Barn Door

Dreaming of a beautiful sliding barn door? Then dream no further! For this project, you’ll need 6-8 pieces of repurposed wood.

Start by sanding and either painting or staining the wood with Beauti-Tone Wood Shield Best to bring out its natural beauty. Once the stain has dried for 24 hours, simply line up 5 boards and glue them together with wood glue. Using a hand drill, attach one board horizontally across the middle of the door. Creating a “K” pattern, secure two more small boards diagonally out from the middle board.

Now all that’s left to do is pick out a rolling door track and attach it! This charming and rustic barn door will be the perfect addition for a closet, or divider between rooms.

2. DIY Floating Shelves

If you’re looking for a project that tops the list of many designers, consider DIY floating shelves.

Sprucing up a room is simple with polished wood and floating brackets. First, cut your wood to size and stain or paint with Beauti-Tone Paint. With thousands of colours to choose from, you’re sure to find one that’s perfect for you.

Next, drill holes for your brackets, ensuring they are level and the brackets are secure to the wall. Slide the shelves on and decorate with beautiful plants and décor.

4. DIY Wood Mirror

As one of the top design trends for 2020, wooden mirrors are transforming homes across the globe.

To make your own wooden mirror, find a rectangular mirror from a thrift shop or within your home. Measure the existing frame and cut the wood to size. You can dramatically change the aesthetic of the mirror by painting or staining the wood with Beauti-Tone Paint. Make sure to sand the base first and clean any debris before starting. Next, drill the frame together in a rectangle and glue the wood to the old mirror.

Place your new mirror in a spot that could use the illusion of space and watch your room transform to a lighter and brighter space.

5. DIY Planter Posts for Lights

Designing your dream backyard is simple with decorative planter pots and sparkling string lights to set the mood.

To create the picture-perfect patio, pick up (2) large planter pots, (2) 4x4 posts, enough Quikcrete for your planters and (2) hooks strong enough to hold your string lights.

First, add Quikcrete and (1) 4x4 post in the planter pot. Let it cure for 24 hours then add soil and flowers for decor. Next, install the hooks on your light posts and arrange your planter pots diagonally on your patio. Put your lights up, and voila, your patio is ready.

You can sit back, relax and enjoy the sparkle all night long.
