Improve any rental by bringing the outdoors in. This budget-friendly space saver can be built high or low depending on your home’s needs. Whether it’s a window seat for reading, an entertainment hutch for the TV or mod shelving for books and accessories, this easy DIY project is a perfect fit.
Poured concrete is a hot design trend in kitchens and living spaces - and can cost tons. Get the same look for $30 with these easily stackable cinder blocks. And the cinder blocks’ interior cubbies are ideal for creating a shelf or potting a few plants.
Herbs and succulents are perfect here because they require little care and still look lovely. The pine bench top provides a natural contrast to the cinder block, and can be cut to any length.
You’ve got all sorts of storage options underneath and on top for records, books, or linens. Finish the look with textured blankets and rectangular pillows to provide color and comfort.
