Design Trends You Can Pull Off in a Weekend
Be a DIY style maven and make one of these 2016 trends your weekend project.

The best thing about being a DIY junkie, is how empowered you feel in turning the trends others are paying hundreds and thousands of dollars for (or hiring designers to pull off) into your weekend project.

I’ve been seeing a big shift toward double-duty design and organic design lately. It seems we all want products and pieces in our homes that are beautiful, simple and serve more than one purpose. For example, I love Sam Henderson’s idea of dressing kitchen windows with a DIY hanging herb garden in lieu of traditional window treatments.—Chelsea Faulkner, HGTV

Want to add instant drama to your home? Paint window frames or interior doors black. Do it in one room in one weekend, or carve out multiple weekends to do your whole home.—Felicia Feaster, HGTV/DIY

Don't settle for that builder grade built-in that came with your house. Source a vintage or high-design mirror to add character and style to your bath. It's a relatively easy way to change up your bathroom without a huge investment of time or money.—Felicia Feaster, HGTV/DIY
4. Lilac Is the New Gray
The trend I’ve been noticing lately is light purple/lavender as the new neutral wall color. Very soft, very Zen and yet sophisticated and a bit regal – it’s not just for little girl’s rooms anymore.—Jackie McGilvray, DIY
