DIY home decor ideas during Lockdown Tips And Tricks

A year after being confined inside the home due to restrictions and lockdown, everyone is craving for some change in scenery. It is very important to take out time for yourself and indulge in things you enjoy and try to learn new activities, especially in these strenuous times. During this lockdown we are all re-evaluating what our homes can be, our home has become our place of work, our gym, and our restaurant so one needs a bit of overhaul for some change inside their four walls. 

People stuck at home and looking for some kind of visual change can consider these outside the box DIY home decor ideas:

Recycling containers into DIY planters
Plants not only improve indoor air quality by purifying the air but also looks aesthetically pleasing and make your room look amazing. One can use the leftover plastic takeaway containers, coffee mug, and bottles to plant small planters in them and can color the containers. This not only looks amazing but will also help reuse the containers. You can also grow veggies in a small container during this pandemic and use it for personal use and hang these small veggie buckets near the window so they get ample sunlight. If you have a small vase with flowers you can also hang them with the help of metal wire or unwind your metal hanger and use it as a flower pot holder.
You can also make wooden shelves, where you can stick a small wooden plank on the wall and keep the small planters or books on them.
