01 July 2026

Living room paint

Your home should feel like a space that works for you, comfortable, practical, and enjoyable to spend time in. But over time, rooms can start to become cluttered, disorganised, and in need of a refresh.

Simple DIY updates can completely change the look and feel of a room, whether it's adding extra storage, refreshing your walls, or updating your home décor, you can completely change the look and feel of indoor spaces with small tweaks.

And the best part? All of these ideas can be done using affordable, easy-to-use products you can pick up at B&M.

Simple DIY Storage Upgrades

One of the most effective DIY home improvements is upgrading your home storage. It instantly makes a space feel more organised and easier to live in.

Try adding Shelving, Storage Furniture, and Storage Baskets, Trays and Tubs to make better use out of unused spaces and quickly tidy away everyday clutter while keeping things looking neat and stylish.

At B&M you'll find a wide range of Storage solutions that make it easy to create a more organised home including our Kids Home Storage with Bookshelves to keep playrooms and children's bedrooms tidy, and our Curved Ottoman with Legs that can be used to store away blankets, cushions, and more.

Quick Room Refresh Projects

If you want a quick transformation, focus on small updates that change the atmosphere and aesthetics of a room.

Swap out soft furnishings like Cushions, Rugs, and Throws to introduce new colours and textures. You can also introduce decorative pieces like Candles, Vases and Artificial Flowers to bring a space together.

Our Large Artificial Plant is perfect for empty areas around your home. It makes a brilliant focal point and transforms the aesthetic and feel of the space, adding a sense of calm and serenity.

Drape our Bow Throw over a couch or bed for a luxurious, cosy feel. Featuring a chic bow design it adds texture and warmth, creating an inviting and beautifully designed space.

All of these finishing touches are available at B&M and can be mixed and matched to suit your personality and style.

Refresh Walls with Paint and Wallpaper

Giving your walls a fresh new look can drastically change the feel of your space. A simple coat of paint can instantly brighten a room, define a feature wall, or completely uplift your space. We stock a brilliant range of Paint in various colours and shades, including brands such as Turner and Grey, Crown, Johnstone's Paint, and many more!

If you want something a little more decorative, Wallpaper is a great way to add pattern and personality. A feature wall behind a bed, sofa, or dining area is the perfect focal point, helping your space feel intentional and put together.

DIY Lighting Upgrades to Change the Mood

Lighting is one of the easiest DIY-style upgrades you can make at home, and it can completely change how a room feels. Simply swapping around or adding different light sources can help you create a brighter, cosier, and more relaxed atmosphere depending on the needs of the space.

Try introducing Table Lamps in darker corners, adding Floor Lamps to open up living areas, or using LED lighting for a modern touch. Even changing your Lamp Shade can make a noticeable different without the hassle of complicated installations.

Stunning additions like our Scallop Shaded Lamp and our Round Wood Look Lamp are the perfect finishing touches, bringing warmth, style, and character to your bedside table, sideboard, or accent table.

Floor Lamps like the Stockholm Floor Lamp and Simply Everyday Floor Lamp add height to your space, anchor seating areas, and also break up dark corners.

Easy Wall & Display Updates

Updating your walls is another simple DIY project that can completely transform a room, and you don't need to redecorate from scratch either, even small changes can make a big impact.

Try creating a gallery wall using Photo Frames, or add Decorative Accessories to your walls like our Home Collection Decorative Wall Panels, or our Quotation Art Prints to personalise your space. Even repositioning existing décor can help refresh the feel of a room.

Adding a Mirror into your space is also a great way to create visual interest while enhancing a room's overall look and feel. In spaces with limited natural light, a well-placed mirror can reflect and maximise available sunlight, making the room feel brighter and more inviting. Mirrors are also an effective design tool for small spaces, creating the illusion of greater depth and making a room appear larger than it is.

B&M Top Tip: If you're renting or want a temporary solution for hanging wall art and photo frames, options like Command strips can be a great alternative to avoid hooks, nails, and drilling.

DIY home improvements don't have to be overly complicated, expensive, or time-consuming. With a few simple updates from smarter storage, to refreshed walls, and new home accessories, you can transform the look of your home with ease.
