We’re all restless and ready to get back out into the world. We miss friends and family. But we’ll just have to hang tight for a while longer. So if you’re stuck at home and you’re tired of binge-watching Netflix, why not work on your dream home? Here are a few quick home remodeling ideas to break up the monotony of life indoors, and they’re fun too!

Interior Shutters
Imagine brightly painted shutters on stone houses in an old village in the south of France. Now picture them on your windows, but installed on the inside. Interior wood shutters are charming and they add historical detailing to your home. They were common long before window glass because glass was originally considered a luxury.
Create an Office Nook Under the Stairs
What could be cozier than a home office tucked under the stairs? An office nook is great for maximizing your space, plus you don’t need much, just a desk, a lamp, and some shelves. It’s possible you could even pop in a window, depending on the adjoining wall. Our favorite office nooks are hidden under arching stairwells. This is a fairly easy home remodeling project, and you’ll feel more organized too.
Build a Swing Bed
Or, if you’re a bit handier than the usual person, or you just enjoy a good challenge, building a swing bed is a unique home remodeling project. Whether it’s for the butterfly garden or the bedroom, there are some great tutorials on building your very own hanging bed. Of course, you’ll need a solid overhead support, a frame, and either adequate chains or rope to suspend the platform.
