Now that staying at home is more advisable than ever, using your free time to transform the interior design of your home is a great idea.
With the help of some simple materials such as wood, carbon fiber or even simple pet bottles you can modify the decoration of different rooms and, at the same time, entertain yourself.
Floating tables and storage spaces
Some of the options that help you change the ambiance are coffee tables with drawers, functional storage spaces and floating drawers that you can hang on the wall. Here are some helpful ideas:
Floating drawers
These boxes are usually square, although they can also be found in other shapes such as hexagons and triangles. They are excellent for placing ornaments, books or plants and give an enveloping feeling to the interior of the rooms.

Functional spaces
You can also build some boxes that give style to your spaces and, at the same time, serve as surfaces where you can place decorative objects. These have the advantage of offering extra storage for items you don’t use often or even for Christmas decorations, if you have little space to store them.

Additional benefits of redecorating with your creations
In addition to the improvements you can make in your home and the benefits of dedicating part of your time to manual activities that involve a small personal challenge, there are other positive aspects that we usually do not consider. For this reason, we mention, below, other benefits of doing crafts:
