DIY Projects

Practical tips, inspiration, and real stories for those who love improving their homes with their own hands

The DIY Projects section of The Stone Magazine is a space for everyone who believes that much can be done at home with their own two hands. Here, we gather the best ideas, step-by-step guides, smart tips, and honest stories from people who create comfort and beauty in their homes themselves

From replacing countertops and installing sinks to updating backsplashes, painting walls, restoring furniture, and adding decorative touches to bathrooms — we share a wide range of content for those who aren’t afraid to pick up a tool and get hands-on. Here, you’ll find tips on choosing materials, caring for stone surfaces, home repairs, interior maintenance, and even creating unique décor elements.

Our articles are written by experienced contractors sharing expert guidance, as well as by homeowners who are passionate about DIY. They open up about what worked, what didn’t, and how their efforts paid off — often in ways they never expected.

Got a story to share? We’d love to hear it. Head over to our Become a Contributor page and send us your idea or finished piece. If your article is helpful to readers, we’ll publish it for free. Promotional content can also be published for a standard fee.

Subscribe to The Stone Magazine and get weekly inspiration, advice, and hands-on wisdom delivered straight to your inbox. Make your home truly yours — one project at a time.
