Being stuck at home during the coronavirus pandemic doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Hit pause on that show you’ve been binging and commit to home improvement projects that will pass the time and make your space really feel like you. Here are a few fall house projects to get you inspired.

Add a bold accent wall

Tired of staring at your grey or white walls? Add some color through an accent wall! Choose your favorite paint color or find wallpaper that screams your style. Are you a renter or apartment-dweller? No worries! You can use a temporary stick-on paper!

Paint your kitchen cabinets

Want a new kitchen without a full makeover? Try painting your cabinets. It’s a bit of a job, but now’s the perfect time to tackle it. Upgrade your outdated wood cabinets by painting them a soft white or cool gray. Feeling inspired? Try a two-toned look for a unique touch!
