10 DIY Ideas for a Big Impact Room

Let’s face it, there are fewer things kiwis love more than a good DIY project.

Whether you’re planning a home renovation and looking for inspiration, or just want a quick and easy DIY project to tackle in a weekend, we’ve got you covered. Homeowners and renters alike can achieve amazing transformations with the right tools and a little bit of creativity and know-how. We’ve compiled 10 easy DIY projects that are relatively simple and can make a big impact in each area of your home. 

 

DIY DONE SMARTER 

Making a dramatic change to your home with a weekend DIY project is often easier than you think, and may not break the bank either! There’s nothing worse than an unfinished DIY project though, which is why we recommend making sure you have the right tools on hand to tackle your project the smart way. At Hirepool we have a huge range of tools and equipment that can save you heaps of time and effort when completing your project. Our tools are regularly maintained and trade-quality, so you’ll be able to finish your project in no time. You can easily hire gear at our affordable rates, saving you from blowing cash on new tools or the hassle of storing them at home. Call into your local Hirepool branch to chat to the team about getting the right gear for your project.  



1. LIVING ROOM DIY - CREATE A BUILT-IN SHELF 

A built in shelving system is a great way to hide a boring wall and create visual interest in a space. They can be as simple as a few pieces of timber hung in a clever way, or more custom to create storage or even seating. Horizontal shelves can make your living room appear wider and roomier, and often don’t need to be very deep if you’re using them to display books, art and decorative elements. Wall shelves are also handy for keeping clutter off the floor and displaying or storing precious objects higher and away from little hands. 

 WALL TO WALL SHELVES 

Simple wall to wall shelves can be made with solid wood and a few brackets, or using heavy duty wall anchors and screws. Built-in bookshelves can be all shapes and sizes and installed as an eye catching feature in a room.

FLOATING SHELVES 

Floating shelves can be small or large, and different shapes and sizes - it’s up to you! 

 

[H3] Tools you’ll need for the job

There are a few tools that are bound to make any shelving DIY easier. While these will vary by the design you choose, you’ll likely need the following: 

  • Drill -  for connecting or securing shelves
  • Planer - for refining wood if using recycled materials 
  • Sander - to achieve a smooth finish 
  • Stud finder - to ensure your shelves can bear weight 
  • Spirit Level - for ensuring your shelves are straight.  

 

2. LIVING ROOM DIY - SPRUCE UP YOUR CEILING

It may not be the first project you think of tackling in your living room, but trust us, it’s an underrated canvas for you to make your own and can create a huge impact in your living room. 

Painting your ceilings is one of the easiest and quickest DIY projects to try if you’re a homeowner, and is easy to change later when you grow tired of it, so think outside of the box with colour and texture. While you consider these 8 creative ceiling ideas, there are some tools you should also know about to do this DIY the smart way.

TOOLS YOU’LL NEED FOR THE JOB

Other than the paint of your choice, the following tools and equipment will make this job a lot tidier and more comfortable: 

  • Mobile scaffolding towers  - a lifesaver when painting ceilings, especially those that are high or if you’re doing detailed work 
  • Tarpaulins - for protecting your furniture and flooring 
  • Wallboard sander - for sanding the ceiling before you paint 
  • Painting equipment  - like rollers, tape and paint trays

 

 3. LIVING ROOM DIY - CREATE A ROOM DIVIDER 

Breaking up a large space in your open plan home can come in handy when you want a little more privacy or just want a feature to add interest to your decor. Room dividers can be any size and can be light and compact to move around the space or a more permanent fixture.

The best part of this room divider DIY idea is that most designs are fairly easy to assemble and often very affordable, with only a few hand tools and materials required.

TOOLS YOU’LL NEED FOR THE JOB

Once you have selected your material, there are a few tools that might come in handy. Consider hiring any gear you don’t have from Hirepool to keep the costs down. 

  • Saw - if you’re building with timber, a handheld saw will make the job neater
  • Drill - for securing materials together or securing your room divider in place
  • Mitre Saw - for cutting clean angles and corners 
  • Hammer and nails 
  • Measuring tools like ruler, tape measure and pencils

 

4. BEDROOM DIY - GET CREATIVE WITH YOUR HEADBOARD 

A headboard can go a long way in helping a bedroom look cohesive and polished, and can make your whole space more inviting. Headboards and bed frames can set you back a fair bit, but can be easy and affordable to make if you have a bit of time and the right tools. Choose your design and materials and get creative - anything from salvaged wood, plywood fabrics and even plumbing pipes can be fashioned into a cool headboard. Don’t fancy constructing one? Try something super simple like painting a headboard design on the wall or cutting an organic design out of plywood with a jigsaw.

 TOOLS YOU’LL NEED FOR THE JOB

Get this job done in a day with the right tools and materials. 

  • Jig Saw - perfect for cutting tricky curves, organic shapes and stencils
  • Drill - for securing your headboard to your bed 
  • Mitre Saw - will come in handy for cutting wood in straight lines or angled pieces
  • Varnish or paint depending on the project 

 

5. BEDROOM DIY - BEDSIDE TABLE

When you’ve upgraded your headboard and your bed is looking flash, you’ll wish you had a bedside table to complement it. There are lots of DIY’s for timber bedside tables, but the easiest has to be a concrete pour and paint bedside table. Great for an industrial look, check out our guide on mixing concrete perfectly every time and get creative - a simple bucket can be a mould, or you could create your own unique shape. 

Source

 

TOOLS YOU’LL NEED FOR THE JOB

Make sure you mix your concrete well and ensure there are no air bubbles when you pour your bedside table. 

  • Concrete mixer - probably not necessary for making just one, but if you were making a couple it could be a lifesaver.
  • Concrete wheelbarrow - ideal for mixing and pouring concrete 
  • Concrete Saw  - for if you wanted to look at cutting concrete 
  • Paint or sealant optional 

 

6. BEDROOM DIY - ADD A FEATURE WALL 

There are so many ways to infuse your bedroom with personality, but a feature wall is one of the best ways! Adding a feature wall is a great way to make your bedroom more interesting without committing to repainting the whole space. Enjoy going bold with wallpaper, paint, temporary wall decals (perfect if you’re renting or afraid of commitment) or create an eye-catching gallery wall of art to inspire you. 

Source

 

TOOLS YOU’LL NEED FOR THE JOB

What you need for this job will vary on your materials but there are a few things to help make removing wallpaper a breeze and read up on how to drill holes accurately when hanging art. 

  • Wallpaper steamer - if you want to remove your wallpaper the smart way
  • Cordless Drill  - for hanging art and pictures
  • Wallboard sander - handy for prepping walls before sanding 

 

7. KITCHEN DIY - REPAINT THE KITCHEN CABINETS

The simple act of changing your cabinet colour can make a huge impact in your kitchen, and is relatively simple to do and won’t cost you nearly as much as a new kitchen would. Opt for a light and bright update or go moody and interesting to make appliances and kitchen decor pop. 

If working with solid wood or painted cabinets, sanding them back a bit will help you achieve a better paint application. Special products are available to coat and seal laminate surfaces ready for painting. A roller may get the job done, but you can save time and get a smooth result  by taking the cabinets off and laying them down to paint with a paint spray gun. Don’t forget to update your hardware to complete the kitchen refresh. 

Source

 

TOOLS YOU’LL NEED FOR THE JOB

Like most painting jobs, you won’t need a lot of equipment but there are a few tools that can come in handy to achieve a professional result. 

  • Sander - if you need to remove old paint, varnish or rough up the surface before painting
  • Paint sprayer - helps you achieve a smooth and even finish on your cabinets 
  • Painting equipment - paint, rollers, tape 
  • Drill or screwdriver - for installing new hardware 

 

8. KITCHEN DIY - GET CLEVER WITH YOUR COUNTERTOPS 

A perfect way to finish your kitchen update once you’re repainted the cabinets is to update your countertops. There are a couple of ways to do this, some methods are easier than others. One for the confident DIY’ers is to pour your own concrete countertops, by creating a mold and support frame. A simpler alternative is to cover your existing countertops with a special concrete layer for an industrial look, made easy. If you want something even easier and affordable, opt for sticky back vinyl and roll out a new countertop with a plain or marbled look for less. 

Source

[H3] Tools you’ll need for the job

The tools you’ll need for this job will depend on how hands-on your approach is, but Hirepool as the gear you need if you’re planning on pouring your own benchtops. 

  • Concrete mixer - will keep your concrete the perfect consistency 
  • Concrete wheelbarrow - ideal for mixing and pouring concrete 
  • Concrete Saw  - for if you wanted to look at cutting concrete or trimming any mistakes



9. BATHROOM DIY - JUST ADD TILE 

A smaller space in your home like a bathroom can be a perfect contender for a DIY project. Update tired bathrooms by adding tile to your backsplash, countertops or floors. If your tiles are in good condition, an update may be as simple as regrouting existing tiles to tidy it up. It’s simple to remove old vinyl or lino and replace with tiles or other flooring. 

Source

 

TOOLS YOU’LL NEED FOR THE JOB

Removing old flooring is a job that’s made much easier with the right gear, all of which you can hire from Hirepool. Check out our handy guides for Flooring & Tiling

  • Floor Stripper - will make light work of pulling up old flooring 
  • Concrete breaker tool - lift up and break old tile 
  • Tools for tiling such as tile cutters, trowls, grout floats and more

 

10. BATHROOM DIY - UPGRADE YOUR BATHROOM VANITY 

So you don’t wanna mess with your bathroom floors or tackle a tiling project just yet? No problem. Upgrade your bathroom vanity instead! Like painting the kitchen cabinets, this project is super simple and affordable but can make a big impact in a small space. Look into painting the cabinetry, replacing the bathroom mirror or adding a timber frame around wall mounted mirrors, adding new hardware and upgrading the lighting. You’ll feel like you’ve got a brand new bathroom in just a weekend. 

Source

TOOLS YOU’LL NEED FOR THE JOB

You probably won’t need a lot of equipment for this simple project, but having the right hand tools on hand will help. 

  • Sander - if you need to remove old paint, varnish or rough up the surface before painting
  • Painting equipment - paint, rollers, tape 
  • Drill - for installing new hardware or a frame around your mirror
