Easy DIY Projects that Make a Big Difference

Fix it, refresh it, and feel amazing doing it — even if you’ve never picked up a power tool, there are accessible DIY projects for great results in your home.

Welcome to the heart of Paint Chips & Pillows, where we make home repairs and upgrades less overwhelming and way more doable. This section is for anyone who wants to feel more capable at home, whether you’re tightening a loose hinge, patching a wall, or building a piece of furniture that finally fits your space and your vibe.

If you’ve ever thought

  • “I wish I knew how to fix that myself.”
  • “Hiring someone is too expensive, but I don’t want to mess it up.”
  • “I want to do more with my hands, but I don’t know where to start.”

…you’re in the right place.

Our easy DIY projects are designed with real life in mind: chronic illness, neurodivergence, small budgets, tight spaces, and unpredictable energy levels. We believe progress is better than perfection and every little fix adds up to a home you feel proud to live in.
