We love a good DIY, but sometimes the projects can be more hassle than saving money is worth. The prospect of DIY'ing something as large as furniture might terrify you to your very core, but if you break these projects down, they're actually totally manageable. From headboards to tables to seating, these DIY furniture projects will save you money (and sanity).
1) DIY Daybed
Thinking about buying a new couch? Hold up - you can build this daybed for under $300 in just a few hours. And it's insanely comfy (read: You'll never want to get up).
2) DIY Marble and Gold Table
Perfect for holding your drink, your snacks, or just prettying up your room.
3) DIY Tufted Ottoman
Tufted ottomans can be used as a unique twist on a coffee table, or make gorg pieces of accent furniture, but they can get $$$, fast. Instead, try making your own. If you've got basic carpentry and upholstery skills, you can handle this.
4) DIY Stikwood Headboard
Upholstered headboards are cool and all, but how swanky does this wood version look?
5) DIY Sliding Barn Door
Sounds complicated, but it's totally manageable. Now you can say good-bye to builder-grade closet doors for good.
6) DIY Industrial Pipe Shelving
Your Restoration Hardware dreams just got a whole lot more attainable. If you want a not-cookie-cutter bookshelf, here you go.
7) DIY Urban Outfitters Inspired Wooden Dowel + Leather Chair
Secrets out, Urban. Here's how to get the bohemian cool look for way less.
8) DIY Midcentury Modern Sofa Table
You could also use this sleek, modern DIY as an entry table!
9) DIY Leather Stools
You'll be saving for the real deal for months. Here's how to DIY your way to leather gorgeousness immediately.
10) DIY West Elm-Inspired Coffee Table
This would cost as much as your rent brand new, but the DIY version looks just as luxe, without having to sacrifice buying food for the next month.
