Better yet, buy some art supplies to combat quarantine boredom and beautify your space at the same time! Nothing looks chicer than a big abstract canvas that perfectly captures your individual style. Have no fear, you don’t need years of experience to create such a masterpiece. Houston-based artist Amy VanHoy founded paintloose.com to sell art supplies and to teach courses that center around loose, expressive painting styles. If you already know that painting is not your thing, pull out that credit card and commission a unique piece just for you. Either way, customized artwork is right at your fingertips.

Hide the clutter!

Does your house cause you to stress? Could your stuff fill an entire zip code? Need some extra space but can’t stand to throw away your precious belongings? Welcome to the life-changing magic of storage facilities. Whether you’re in a rural or metro area, MN, or TX, living in an apartment or an RV, find the lowest price for nearby storage facilities by entering “cheapest storage units near me” in your search box. If you’re looking for business storage, vehicle storage, climate control storage, or 24-hour access storage, all are options available to you. The world of storage units is your oyster. Happy de-cluttering.

Build DIY furniture.

Here is another opportunity to fight off quarantine ennui while creating the home of your dreams: building your own furniture. Start small. First, figure out how to put together that bookshelf you ordered online. Next, refurbish an item you find at a thrift store or garage sale. Paint it a different color, change out the knobs, or replace the fabric with something that matches the painting you created (see what I did there?). Eventually, you might graduate to full-on carpentry…or not! You don’t need years of experience to customize your belongings. Some of the most valuable items in your home will be the ones you bought at the biggest discount.

Give it some curb appeal.

The outside of your home can be as important as the inside, especially if you enjoy spending time outdoors. If you don’t have time to devote to the landscape construction of your front or backyard, hire a professional to turn your outdoor living space into a heavenly retreat. If you’re worried about not having time to maintain your landscape investment, find someone that also offers maintenance, like this company for landscape design in Denver. If you’re a new homeowner and are looking to start small, plant a shrub! Tend a small garden. It doesn’t have to be a huge project. Find what works for your lifestyle.

Have a friend over.

It can be easy to avoid spending time somewhere new, especially when it doesn’t feel like home yet. Even in the era of COVID-19, you can invite a friend over for socially distant house-warming in your exquisitely designed outdoor space. Not only will this create a deadline for you to finish your projects, but also your friend may have ideas on how to further personalize your landscape project. So light a candle, open a bottle of wine and break in your home. The more time and energy you put into it, the more it will feel like yours.
