These DIY furniture ideas allow you to spruce up your own space with your own hands. These creative crafts create all kinds of funky furniture pieces from outdoor seating to lovely light fixtures.
An upcycled ladder shelf is the perfect DIY craft for a living room or bedroom. This nifty DIY turns an old wooden ladder into a super sleek shelf while A Beautiful Mess' honeycomb shelving DIY craft creates modern hanging storage.
For the kitchen, dip-dyed chairs -- courtesy of the A Pair and a Spare blog -- are sure to give any cooking space a contemporary look. You can also move these chairs into any seating area and pair them with a hanging timber table for a more rustic seating space.
