Quick And Stylish Weekend Projects Trending In California
Looking to spruce up your space without a major time commitment? California homeowners are embracing quick weekend projects that add style and personality to their homes. I’ve noticed these trendy DIY makeovers popping up all over my neighborhood and social media feeds lately.
Grab your supplies and join the fun with these five stylish projects you can tackle in just a weekend!
1. Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper Accent Walls
Transform any boring wall into a conversation starter with removable wallpaper! My guest bathroom went from bland to bold with a tropical print that took just two hours to apply.
The best part? No messy glue or professional help needed. Simply measure, cut, and smooth the paper onto a clean wall. When you’re ready for a change, it peels right off without damaging the paint underneath.
2. Painted Terracotta Pots In Color Blocks
Plain terracotta pots got a major glow-up in my garden last weekend! I gathered different sizes and painted each in complementary colors – sage green, terracotta orange, and soft white.
Arranging them in clusters creates an instant artistic display. The secret is using exterior paint and sealing with clear coat for weather protection. My neighbors keep asking where I bought these designer pots – their jaws drop when I reveal they cost less than $30 total!
3. Floating Wood Shelves With Plants And Ceramics
Empty wall space above my desk was begging for something special. Two floating wood shelves later, I’ve got a stylish display that brings life to my work area.
California designers are mixing plants with handmade ceramics for an organic, collected look. The trick is varying heights and textures – tall trailing pothos next to short succulents, smooth pottery beside rough-textured baskets. Installing the shelves took just 30 minutes with a drill and level!
4. Minimalist Fire Pits With Gravel And Lighting
Saturday night gatherings got so much better after I created a simple fire pit area. The modern California look features a metal bowl-style pit surrounded by a circle of light-colored gravel.
Adding weather-resistant LED string lights overhead creates magical ambiance when the sun sets. The entire project took just one afternoon and cost under $200. Now my backyard feels like those fancy hotel patios in Palm Springs – perfect for s’mores and stargazing with friends!
5. Outdoor Lounge Corners With Rattan Chairs
Who knew an unused patio corner could become my favorite spot? By adding two rattan chairs, colorful cushions, and a small side table, I created a cozy nook for morning coffee.
Rattan furniture is having a major comeback moment in California homes. Its natural texture adds warmth while withstanding our sunny climate. Throw in some drought-tolerant potted plants and voilà – instant vacation vibes without leaving home!
