Want a Cozy Home? These 25 DIY Projects will bring the Charm You Need

Pallet Coffee Table

Pallet Coffee Table
Anything that you make from reclaimed wood will always look charismatic and charming because of all the imperfections and character that you can physically see in the wood. This is exactly why I always prefer homemade (or at least handmade) over buying things brand new.

In my opinion, there is nothing cozier than bringing the outdoors indoors, so this branch room divider is right up my alley. The branches look gorgeous and the twinkling lights make it look simply magical! I wouldn't mind staring at these all evening.

Chair Covers

Chair Covers
If your dining room chairs are looking a little worse for wear, you can simply cozy them up yourself instead of going out to buy a whole new set. A soft pillow on each chair and a faux fur chair cover really amps up the comfort. Of course, if fur isn't for you, you can certainly try a different material.

Doily Bowls

Doily Bowls
I know that some of you are going to think that these bowls are a little too 'grandma's house' while others will agree with me that they're absolutely adorable. You can plop these bowls down anywhere that you need to keep little things safe, like jewelry, makeup, keys or spare change.

Chalkboard Fridge

Chalkboard Fridge
I've been obsessed with chalkboard paint for quite a while now, so I honestly can't wait to do this to my fridge! The fridge usually becomes the place where little notes, photos, pictures and magnets get propped up, so why not cover the thing in chalkboard so that you can write and draw whatever you want?

DIY Shag Rug
When it comes to rugs, I don't think anyone can argue that shag rugs are the coziest of them all. But hey're also super expensive. Thankfully, here's a great tutorial where you can make your own! This would be great laid out in front of the fire, or even in a kid's room where it can act as a comfy play area.

If you still have lots of sweater material left after making your lampshade, then make yourself some sweater pillows to match. These are exactly the type of pillows you want to snuggle up to on a chilly night while watching a good movie.

Fabric Frames

Fabric Frames
I think that personal photos instantly cozy up a room; maybe it's the thought of a house full of happy memories that gives you that sense of comfort. Instead of regular frames, though, give the plain ones some new life simply by wrapping them in fabric. There are lots of interesting ways to display your photos.
