Why is DIY so popular?

Thinking and acting creatively is a personal choice that makes good sense in many situations in life. When we think about the reasons why one should design something by oneself, one thing is positive:

-You set goals and seek creative and optimal solutions.

And since we’re all unique, there could be thousands and thousands of good opportunities if you just strive, listen to your inner voice, and create your own.

Sustainability and upcycling

In the last 5 years, we hear more and more of sustainability. This beautiful word indicates a change in the life and thinking of all humanity. The sustainable way of life improves our world and suddenly the sensible and the environmentally conscious become modern and cool.

Without the changed perception of sustainability, the term upcycling would probably not exist. We devote many of our projects to just this one trend. We hope that in addition to our fresh and original ideas, more and more people are beginning to believe in a better and smarter world.

After this philosophical transition, we continue to the practical and inspirational part of our article.

Crafting, tinkering, being creative

First think, then act! The grandparents always said that.

Attics, cellars and sheds are full of “scrap”, which must finally go to the flea market or bulky waste? Think twice before taking this step and make our suggestions come true!

Is there anything better than not only keeping the old slides, but also creatively staging them? Designing a lampshade yourself can be a big challenge, and it finally manages to tease out the creative in you. The task allows you to start your own project and at the same time to determine the lighting design in your living room.

Educate creatively and modern

Apart from creating a chic ambience (with very little resources) out of a room, plans for refreshment through renovation may disappear.

Another point that we would like to mention is the upbringing of the Awake. Teach the young people that they can make old, and often very valuable objects, something sustainable and original. You will be very proud of that. Promised!

Create generously with colors, shapes and light and marvel at the excellent results!
