Weekend Warrior – Projects You Can Complete in a Single Weekend
Weekends are the perfect time to tackle those home improvement projects you’ve been dreaming about. Whether you’re looking to enhance your living space, add a personal touch, or simply find a productive way to spend your days off, busting out the DIY mindset is a fantastic opportunity to make noticeable improvements in a short amount of time.
From quick and easy upgrades to more ambitious undertakings that will leave you with a sense of accomplishment and a beautifully refreshed space, the WallPops community on social media shares incredible DIY project ideas that we just can’t get enough of! Here are a few of our favorite Weekend Warrior projects to get the inspiration pumping!
Install an accent wall
If you’re looking to completely change the look and feel of your space quickly and on a budget, peel and stick wallpaper serves as a fantastic option! Whether the goal is to go for bold, keep things a little more on the subtle side, or add fun texture, there is a pattern for every style and home.
Installation is incredibly simple, just peel off the backing and smooth each strip onto the wall (being mindful of pattern match, of course)! While technically you could cover an entire room in a weekend, accent walls are a quicker route to that post-project dopamine rush, so you can get to feeling proud of your work in a matter of hours!
Here, Yaro @yaro_zuarich shows us how it’s done with Oak Wood Slats peel and stick NuWallpaper, creating this gorgeous slatted-wood accent wall in his freshly renovated bathroom. Peep the Luminary peel and stick floor tiles by FloorPops, too!
Closet Upgrade
Who doesn’t love an organized and beautiful closet space? If you’re looking for a quick and impactful project for the weekend, consider doing a closet makeover! Turning a space with little to no visual appeal into a work of art is also a great way to boost motivation for those chores you may or may not be interested in completing.
Here, Ashley @organizedvt transforms her laundry closet into a bright and inspiring workspace with a little help from some Peachy Keen peel and stick NuWallpaper. What makes this a perfect for a weekend warrior is that a project of this size would require about 3 rolls of peel and stick wallpaper, and just a few hours of time.
For the best installation possible, we recommend ensuring that your walls are smooth, flat, and clean prior to beginning the project!
Beautiful Backsplash in a Flash
Backsplash is the secret ingredient for a kitchen or bath countertop that feels luxe, completed, and downright gorgeous. However, installing traditional backsplash can be more time-consuming, expensive, and messy than one might be willing to deal with. Enter: peel and stick backsplash! Get the same look in just minutes with high-quality peel and stick backsplash tiles that look and feel like the real deal. Installation is as simple as removing the backing of the adhesive tabs and applying to the desired surface! How easy is that?!
Here, this kitchen countertop is transformed in minutes (yes, minutes) with some quick organization and installation of Clover Blue Embossed Peel and Stick Backsplash by WallPops! You can achieve a project like this in just minutes!
The thing we love most about Weekend Warrior projects is that you get to see your hard work pay off in no time at all! Whether you power through an entire room rejuvenation, do a quick flooring or backsplash swap, or get creative with an accent wall, the sense of accomplishment from finishing a project is like no other!
