WELCOME TO make calm lovely!

Where we show you the lovely every day!

Make Calm Lovely was started with one intention – make life lovelier every day. Through great DIY and craft projects, and amazing IKEA hacks, we show you how to make your life better and your home lovelier!

Hi, I’m Lauren — welcome to Make Calm Lovely!

Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved creating, fixing, and reimagining spaces. What started as small weekend projects — adding a little paint here, hacking an IKEA piece there — slowly turned into a passion for transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.

I created Make Calm Lovely as a place to share my favorite IKEA hacks, DIY projects, and creative home ideas with others who love bringing personality and calm into their homes. For me, it’s not about chasing perfection or following trends — it’s about finding joy in the process and creating spaces that feel welcoming, beautiful, and truly yours.

On the blog, you’ll find everything from easy crafts you can finish in an afternoon to clever storage solutions and home decor hacks that make your space both functional and stylish. My hope is that every project here inspires you to see the hidden potential in your own home — and to make it a little calmer, cozier, and lovelier.

So grab your toolbox (or just a hot glue gun), and let’s create something wonderful together!
