Our Favorite DIY Home Products You Can Get from Home Depot!

By:

Love a good weekend project? So do we! But we also know how it can be difficult to find a place to start. The world of DIY home products can feel overwhelming with endless aisles and countless options, plus the temptation to buy things you might not actually use. Yeah, we’re guilty of that one, too. 

Our team at brick&batten has created a curated storefront at Home Depot filled with the types of items we genuinely love for transforming exteriors. Think of it as your shortcut to making smart, stylish upgrades you can really do yourself. Whether you’re looking to spruce up the front porch or refresh your lighting, here are our favorite product categories to make DIY easier. 

DIY Home Products for Tile and Pavers

Tile and pavers might not sound exciting at first, but you’ll get why we love them when you see what they can do for your curb appeal. Updating a pathway or adding a small patio area with pavers instantly transforms the look of your yard – it’s one of the easiest facelifts you can give your exterior!

The best part is you don’t need a contractor to get started. With a little planning and patience, you can totally create a walkway that looks custom but is totally DIY friendly. Plus, pavers and tile hold up beautifully against all sorts of weather, so your weekend project keeps paying off season after season.

Here are a few of our top picks:

DIY Home Products for Exterior Hardware

Never underestimate the power of the small stuff, especially in exterior design. Something as simple as swapping out exterior hardware is one of the most satisfying upgrades you can give your home. From new house numbers to a fresh door handle, these little tweaks can make your entryway feel brand new without touching anything else. 

And even though it’s small, visitors notice it immediately – even if they can’t quite put their finger on what’s different. 

Here are a few options to peruse:

DIY Home Products for Window Boxes and Planters

If you’ve got a green thumb, this section is for you. Your greenery is like the jewelry of your home, so why not go all-out with it? 

Window boxes and planters bring so much life to an exterior, whether you go for simple green shrubs or bold seasonal flowers. They’re also one of the easiest ways to change up your home’s look throughout the year. Consider adding:

We love all these products because they allow you to play with color and texture without the long-term commitment. Whether you want cheerful spring blooms or moody winter greens, window boxes are flexible, affordable, and just plain fun. 

 DIY Home Products for Pathway and Exterior Lighting

Lighting is one of those things that pulls double duty. It makes your home safer and more welcoming, but also adds some serious style. Pathway lights can help guide guests to the front door while also creating a cozy vibe.

Think of it as your home’s way of showing off after the sun goes down. Plus, exterior lighting is usually the final touch that ties everything together. Thanks to solar options and easy-install kits, putting that final touch isn’t nearly as intimidating as it used to be. 

Here are a few products to get you started:

Stains and Paints for Home DIY Projects

One of the fastest ways to change your home’s look is with fresh paint or stain. A fresh coat can take your siding or deck from tired to terrific in just one weekend! 

The key when DIY-ing paint or stain is to prep properly. Do a little extra sanding and cleaning to make sure your new color lasts. We promise this little bit of extra elbow grease is worth the picture-perfect results you’ll get when putting on that new color.

Outdoor Entertainment and Furniture

Not everything has to be a construction project! One easy way to spruce up your exterior space is to add some entertainment and furniture pieces. Whether you choose a fire pit for chilly evenings or durable chairs for sunny days, these pieces can turn your yard into an actual living space. 

These products are versatile and stylish, so you can be the talk of the town after your next barbecue: 

Don’t Forget Must-Have Tools!

Every DIYer needs a reliable toolkit, even if you stick to smaller projects. A solid drill, paintbrush set, and level can make all the difference in your project outcome. Plus, having the right tools gives you the confidence you need to tackle projects you might otherwise avoid!

You don’t need to invest in an entire garage full of equipment right away. Start with some of these basics and add to your collection as your DIY skills grow: 

Why Shop Our Storefront?

With so many options, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement and overbuy. We’ve all walked into a store for one thing and left with three plants, a new rug, and somehow a power washer.

You don’t need to dig through thousands of products to find the good stuff. We’ve done the hard work for you by creating a storefront that’s filled with pieces we use in our own designs.

It’s a mix of tried-and-true essentials and stylish finds that make a big impact without making you sweat. It’s like having your own designer best friend whispering, “This one,” in your ear every time you go to add something to your card. 

Final Thoughts: You Can Do It!

DIY doesn’t have to be complicated or overwhelming. With the right DIY home products, you can transform your space one project at a time – and actually enjoy the process!
