    28 DIY Home Improvement Products That Don't Require Calling A Contractor

    These things will keep you busy around the house all weekend. You're welcome?

    1. A DIY custom doormat kit, because you'll need something unique and personal to welcome people into the fabulously upgraded home BuzzFeed is about to help you curate with this list.

    2. And some stair riser decals to add a similar pop of personality to another area of your home.

    3. Or a replacement handrail if you'd prefer your staircase looked sleek and minimalistic. This could be a nice, subtle way of modernizing your home without paying for major renovations.

    4. An adhesive remover to remove sticky residue from a bunch of different surfaces in your home. People with small, precious yet inexplicably messy children should stock up on this — don't pretend as if you don't know why.

    5. An under-the-sink water filtration system if your Brita pitcher just isn't cutting it anymore. With this, you can grab a glass and drink straight from the sink like you used to do in the good ol' days, except now the water comes out the faucet already filtered to perfection!

    6. A window insulator kit if being inside all of 2020 made you realize how damn drafty your living room is. Think of the money you'll save on heat!

    7. Or a draft stopper that attaches to the door instead of windows.

    8. A leather conditioner that'll bring your old, worn-out couch back to life and have it looking like it's fresh off the showroom floor.

    9. And a wood conditioner that'll do pretty much the same thing for your dining room table. It'll also create a protective layer that helps prevent the wood from drying out or fading.

    10. Or a fake wood contact paper if you'd rather transform non-wood surfaces instead of taking care of furniture made out of the real thing.

    11. A tabletop fireplace for people who'd like to convert their tiny apartments into the sort of lovely suburban houses that'd actually come with traditional fireplaces.

    12. A curtain of twinkle lights to turn your bedroom into the sparkling winter wonderland of your dreams.

    13. Easy-to-install expandable drawer dividers to separate your garments and make getting dressed in the morning slightly more aesthetically pleasing.

    14. A drain snake so you can avoid those ridiculous plumbing bills whenever your sink needs unclogging.

    15. And a TubShroom that'll prevent a clogged drain in the first place. Miraculously, this handy little thing can catch hairs while never disrupting the water flow.

    16. A stainless-steel rainfall shower head that'll make you feel like you live in a 5-star hotel (minus those awful skin-drying hotel soaps).

    17. A brick dyeing kit in case you're lucky enough to have exposed brick in your home (such a cool look!) but aren't keen on the color. This stuff chemically bonds with brick, stone, block, and mortar without ruining the texture of the surface.

    before: tan brick fireplace stained with soot, after: bricks painted in grey, white, and brown

    18. And a cabinet paint set that'll pretty much do the same thing for your kitchen drawers and cupboards — which is MUCH cheaper than an actual renovation.

    19. Or a countertop paint kit to take your faux-renovations a step further and make it seem as if you have super posh granite countertops — we won't tell anyone your secret if you won't.

    20. A pack of clear bumper stickers (no, not the kind that go on cars) to make your home a much quieter place. These will keep your drawers and cabinets from slamming shut, even if your house is haunted by very petty and rambunctious ghosts.

    21. A kitchen cabinet pull out drawer to store anything from canned goods to cutting boards.

    22. A mini bottle of touch-up paint that'll cover up small, cosmetic imperfections that may be visible on your walls or furniture (such as chips, scratches, stains, etc.).

    23. A simple yet effective Command hook that can be used to hang pretty much anything. Hats, coats, keys, scarfs — lions, tigers, bears, oh my.

    24. A garbage disposal cleaner to rid your home of unpleasant odors that come from particles stuck in your machine's pipes. Bonus: It has a fresh lemon scent.

    25. A pumice cleaning stone for stains on your toilet that are too stubborn for a flimsy brush.

    26. A faucet grip that'll give your green thumb some much-needed assistance while tending to your lawn or garden.

    27. A grout pen to...well...hide dirty grout. Because just painting over the dirt is the perfect chore for lazy adults.

    28. Storage bin decals, because no BuzzFeed list would be complete without some good ol' organizational content. This one goes out to everyone who has a label of some sort on damn near every container in their home.
