Original wall clocks in the best traditions of expensive decor stores can be made at home in a few hours. This is not as difficult as it might seem.
Organize a real minibar from an old sideboard
The era of sideboards with tons of crystal is irrevocably a thing of the past. But many still have sideboards themselves. So why not turn your old furniture into a modern home mini-bar (not necessarily alcoholic).
Use corner shelves
The kitchen is that part of the house where there is always a critical lack of space. Whatever size it is. Therefore, where it is difficult to fit bulky cabinets, open shelves are perfect.
Make an extra spice rack

Use cabinet doors
The inner door of a kitchen cabinet can be a great organizer for small things.
Attach magazine holder
This easy-to-use shelf will help keep magazines and cookbooks close at hand. Usually the side of the furniture is empty. Why not make it useful?
Stick fabric “wallpaper” on the door
Using a patterned fabric and cornstarch glue, you can decorate a boring door in an original way. Such “wallpaper” can be easily removed, so when the picture gets bored, it can be easily removed or replaced with a new one.

Decorate clothes hangers
A great idea if you are using open hangers for clothes. But even if things hang in a closed cabinet, these hangers will still delight you every time you take them in your hands.
