Pretty much anything you can dream of is available with next-day delivery. It can be tempting to buy all your home decor items quickly, in-store or online. But there’s something special about making a few elements yourself. The personalized touch will make your space feel more like home. Here are some ideas.

Throw Pillows

Revamp your living room or bedroom with personalized throw pillows. With a sewing machine or even fabric glue, you can create unique pillow covers using fabric scraps, old clothes, or patterned textiles. Add buttons or embroidery to give them some flair.

Mason Jar Sconces

Mason jar sconces are a charming addition to any wall. They’ll add both light and rustic charm. With some reclaimed wood, mason jars, and simple lighting kits, you can craft these beautiful sconces in no time. They’re perfect for holding flowers, candles, or LED lights.

Customized Shelving Units

While store-bought shelves are convenient, making your shelving units allows you to make something completely custom. A minimalist floating shelf or a multi-tiered industrial-style bookcase are both great options. With basic carpentry skills and some creativity, you can design and construct shelves that perfectly complement your home decor.
