8. Drawers That Never Open

DIY Corner Solutions: Transforming Unused Spaces
Estimated Cost:

New: $400
DIY: $100–200
Every home has those awkward corners or nooks that seem impossible to furnish. Finding the perfect piece to fit these spaces can be a daunting task, often leading to frustration and wasted time. In this case, one resourceful individual decided to take matters into their own hands rather than continue the search for a suitable item.

Instead of spending around $400 on a pre-made solution, they opted for a DIY approach, which typically ranges from $100 to $200. This not only saved money but also allowed for customization to perfectly fit the unique dimensions of the space. Whether it’s a built-in shelf, a cozy reading nook, or a decorative storage solution, the possibilities are endless when you take a creative approach.


 

The Drawers That Don't Open: A Design Blunder

In an unfortunate design oversight, a homeowner installed a countertop with drawers that are completely non-functional due to a wall blocking their access. While the intention may have been to add storage or aesthetic appeal, the result is a set of drawers that serve no practical purpose—merely decorative elements in an otherwise functional space.

Spending around $100 for drawers that can't be opened raises questions about design choices and space utilization. It’s a classic example of how a lack of planning can lead to wasted resources and frustration. Instead of enhancing the area, these drawers have become a reminder of a design misstep.
