In 2024, American homeowners are leaning into DIY interior decor more than ever—not just to save money, but to infuse their spaces with personality. According to Houzz’s latest U.S. Home Design Report, 72% of renters and homeowners prioritize functional decor that blends style with practicality, especially in small to mid-sized homes where storage is a constant challenge.
The good news? You don’t need professional skills or a big budget to transform your bedroom, living room, kids’ room, or hallway. Below, we’re sharing 4 actionable DIY ideas that turn empty corners, cluttered nooks, and underused spaces into focal points—plus a star storage piece that ties every look together: the VEDECASA Cómoda con 3 cajones de tela estrecha (VEDECASA 3-Narrow Fabric Drawer Chest).
1. DIY Bohemian Bedroom Vanity: Turn a Blank Wall into a Relaxing Getaway
Bohemian style remains a top choice for American bedrooms, thanks to its warm textures, earthy tones, and laid-back vibe. But a boho vanity often requires both counter space for makeup and hidden storage for brushes, jewelry, and skincare—without looking messy.
How to DIY It:
- Step 1: Pick a corner near a window (natural light = perfect for makeup application). Mount a floating wooden shelf (reclaimed wood works great for boho charm) at waist height—you can find affordable options at Home Depot or DIY one from a 2×4 board stained in honey oak.
- Step 2: Add lighting by hanging a macramé plant hanger with a small potted ivy and a vintage-style wall sconce (LED bulbs keep it energy-efficient).
- Step 3: Solve storage with VEDECASA’s Bohemian Dresser Cabinet (yes, that’s the VEDECASA 3-drawer chest!). Its slim design fits perfectly under the floating shelf, and the soft fabric drawers hide clutter without disrupting the boho aesthetic. Use one drawer for lipsticks and powders, another for hair tools, and the third for delicate jewelry (line it with a velvet liner for extra luxury).
The chest’s neutral fabric (available in beige and gray) pairs beautifully with boho staples like woven rugs, fringe pillows, and terracotta decor—no need to repaint or redo your entire room!
2. Industrial Living Room Nook: From Cluttered to Cool
Industrial style is a staple in American living rooms, with its mix of metal, exposed wood, and bold accents. But industrial spaces can quickly feel cold or cluttered if you don’t have a place for remotes, throw blankets, and board games.
How to DIY It:
- Step 1: Create a “reading nook” with a metal folding chair (spray-painted black for industrial edge) and a small round side table (thrifted and sanded for a distressed look).
- Step 2: Add warmth with a faux leather throw and a stack of vintage books on the table. Hang a metal wall grid above the chair to display polaroids or small potted succulents.
- Step 3: Add hidden storage with VEDECASA’s Industrial Storage Cabinet. The VEDECASA 3-drawer chest’s sleek lines and durable fabric drawers complement industrial decor—place it next to the chair to store blankets, remotes, and even a few board games. The narrow design fits in tight living room corners, so you won’t sacrifice floor space.
3. Kid-Friendly Bedroom: Safe, Organized, and Fun
American parents know: kids’ rooms need to be both playful and functional. Toys, clothes, and art supplies pile up fast—but a DIY setup with smart storage can keep the space tidy (and make cleanup easier for little ones).
How to DIY It:
- Step 1: Paint a “play wall” with washable chalkboard paint (kids love drawing here!). Add a low wooden bench (for reading or putting on shoes) against the wall.
- Step 2: Hang colorful fabric bins (from Target or Etsy) on wall hooks for stuffed animals and small toys.
- Step 3: Use VEDECASA’s Kids’ Room Storage Cabinet (the same 3-drawer chest!) as a “toy organizer station.” The fabric drawers are soft (no sharp edges—safe for kids!) and easy for little hands to open. Label each drawer with cartoon stickers: “Dolls,” “Cars,” “Art Supplies.” Place the chest next to the bench, so kids can grab toys and put them back independently.
Pro tip: Choose the VEDECASA chest in light gray—it hides stains and matches most kids’ room decor (pastels, primary colors, or neutrals).
4. Hallway Makeover: Turn a “Dead Space” into a Functional Spot
Hallways are often overlooked, but they’re the first space guests see when they enter your home. A cluttered hallway (with shoes, bags, or mail) can make your entire house feel messy—so let’s DIY a “welcome zone” with storage.

How to DIY It:
- Step 1: Hang a floating shelf near the front door for keys, mail, and a small vase of fresh flowers. Add a wall-mounted coat rack (with colorful hooks) above it.
- Step 2: Place a small doormat (woven or rubber, for durability) on the floor to catch dirt.
- Step 3: Add shoe storage with VEDECASA’s Hallway Storage Cabinet. The VEDECASA 3-drawer chest’s narrow profile fits perfectly in hallway nooks—use the drawers to store shoes (one drawer for sneakers, one for sandals, one for winter boots), umbrellas, or even pet leashes. The fabric drawers keep shoes out of sight, so your hallway looks neat and welcoming.
