Do It Yourself: Fall 2020

From a gallery wall built with vintage pulleys to a bedside table brought back under control, the Fall 2020 issue of Do It Yourself finds satisfying projects in the details of everyday home life. Inside are ideas for refreshing rooms, making better use of storage, and adding personal touches without making every project a major renovation.

Small changes with plenty of character 🎨

Explore unexpected ways to display art and family photographs, make a dried-flower wall hanging, sew custom-size curtain panels, and put a roll of wallpaper to work beyond the wall. These projects pair practical ideas with creative presentation, offering inspiration for rooms that feel more personal and thoughtfully finished.

Make more of the home you have

The issue turns to organizing, bathroom updates, furniture makeovers, and cosmetic improvements. Features include a family home refreshed for a new generation, a visit to furniture-restoration studio MegMade, and a designer’s North Carolina home. The range makes this a useful browse for readers weighing a weekend refresh against a more ambitious room update.

Take a project outside

Outdoor spaces get attention too, with welcoming curb-appeal improvements and accessible concrete projects. An eco-minded selection rounds out the issue, extending the home-focused ideas to choices for a more environmentally conscious lifestyle.

Practical ideas for hands-on readers

Alongside its decorating and making features, the magazine includes guidance on drywall, preparation, and permits. Whether you are looking for a quick organizing fix, a crafty way to display family photos, or inspiration for improving a room, this issue brings a broad mix of home projects together in one seasonal collection.
