• Add some flair to your bookshelves

There are a number of little things you can do to brighten up your bookshelf on a rainy day. You may experiment with the set design or, much better, transform the background with some paint or even contact paper. The backs of your shelves may also be given an unexpected splash of color and interest by using contact paper, scrapbook paper, or even fabric.

The backs of bookcases are another great place to experiment with design and color.

• Set up a birdhouse in your mini garden

It's perfect for Lumina Homes homeowners who have a mini garden in their outdoor space. Or even if you don't have one, this is still a great addition to your home. With an affordable house and lot located in the suburbs near nature, this is the perfect time to bond with the whole family.

You might perhaps even enlist the aid of your kids in completing this enjoyable yet uncomplicated task. It's easy to do with only a few tiny wooden planks and some standard equipment like a saw and a drill. Construct the home, furnish it, and then, when the storm clouds go away, hang it in the yard so that the neighborhood birds have somewhere to literally hang their hats.

Note that the paint smell may deter birds from using your birdhouse the first year if you decide to paint it. If you decide to paint your birdhouse, use cool hues that won't attract predators and won't soak up the sun. Also, be sure you only use paints that are safe for humans.

• Replace your bathroom mirror with a better one

If you want your bathroom to seem more chic and up-to-date, consider replacing the generic mirror that came with your home with a statement piece. If your new mirror is noticeably larger or smaller than the old one, you will need to spackle any holes left by the old mirror and repaint or re-paper the wall.

After doing this, you will be surprised how enjoyable it is to simply apply some shaving cream on your face while looking into your modish bathroom mirror.

• Build a message board in the dining area or common rooms

This rainy-day activity is perfect for you if your taste leans toward the contemporary or even somewhat retro sides. Just paint the reverse side of a cheap glass panel, pop it in a frame, and you're done. Notes and reminders may be written using dry-erase markers on this cutting-edge board.

Make a simple chalkboard wall or frame a chalkboard to add a country feel. Chalkboard walls provide a dual use as a place to scribble down grocery lists or meal plans in the kitchen, a place to leave notes to family members that can be easily seen around the house, or a creative outlet for your kids while they are stuck inside due to monsoons.

To add a touch of style, you may also paint a thin sheet of galvanized metal with blackboard paint and hang it on the wall to create a magnetic message board.

• Enhance the look of your workspace at home

Since working from home is slowly becoming a trend these days, you can easily convert your extra room in your Lumina Homes into an office nook.

Wallpapering your home office is a great way to start and introduce bright and cheery colors into the space. Peel and stick wallpaper, with its reassuring color palette and cheery designs, is ideal for use as a background in a home office.

Make sure that you also place your desk in a spot where you will be able to look up from time to time and see something more fascinating than a plain wall, even if you like the color. Natural light from a window is preferable, but if you can't find a spot near one, you can always hang a painting or turn your chair so that it faces the entrance. You can also add some couch cushions to promote a relaxing vibe and a junk drawer as your storage space.
