7 Easy DIY Pipe Projects to Upgrade Your Home

August is the perfect time for a home refresh, and nothing transforms a space like simple, stylish DIY projects. With just a few pipes, fittings, and a little imagination, you can upgrade any room without breaking the bank. 

Industrial pipe furniture brings a bold, modern look into your home. Thanks to easy-to-assemble kits, these projects are more beginner-friendly than ever.

Using our industrial pipes and fittings, here are 7 easy DIY projects you can try right at home:

1. DIY Benches That Pull Double Duty

Build your own bench for the entryway, dining nook, or mudroom using pipe legs and your favorite wood finish. It’s a stylish way to add seating and storage in small or multifunctional spaces. 

You can tuck baskets underneath, use it for putting on shoes, or place it by the window as a reading perch. It’s a surprisingly versatile piece that’s easier to build than you think.

2. Clothing Racks with Style

Whether you're short on closet space or love showing off your wardrobe, pipe clothing racks are a functional and fashionable solution. 

Freestanding or wall-mounted, they're perfect for bedrooms, entryways, or laundry rooms. They give your clothes room to breathe, and their open design makes them a great addition to minimalist or industrial interiors. 

3. Coffee Tables and Desks

Design your own industrial-style pipe coffee table or workspace with pipe legs and a wood surface. Whether you prefer a compact desk for your home office or a statement coffee table for your living room, pipe furniture adds instant character and function. 

You can keep it simple with raw wood or paint and stain it to match your personal style. Either way, it’s a project you’ll be proud of.

4. Open Shelving That Stands Out

Turn your blank walls into practical storage or display areas. Use raw steel pipes and real wood planks to create rustic, floating shelves for your kitchen, living room, or office. 

They're great for storing books, showcasing collectibles, or holding your everyday dishes. The best part? They look built-in but are actually simple to install with the right tools.

5. Kitchen Hooks That Work Hard

Need a place to hang utensils, mugs, or oven mitts? Install a row of wall-mounted pipe hooks using pipe fittings for a functional upgrade that brings order to your kitchen chaos. 

It’s an easy, space-saving solution that looks great too. These mini-projects take almost no time at all but offer a big payoff in terms of organization and convenience.

6. Toilet Paper Holders with Edge

Add a bit of personality to your bathroom with a DIY toilet paper holder made from pipe fittings. It's a quick project with a big impact, with an industrial twist. 

You can even customize it with a stained wood backplate or go for a raw, minimal look. Either way, it’s a conversation starter.

7. Pipe Lamps and Lighting

Light up your space with DIY pipe lamps. From table lamps to floor lighting, our kits help you create custom pieces that add a warm, industrial vibe to any room. 

Pipe lighting blends perfectly with wood and vintage-style bulbs, and it gives your home a cozy, workshop-inspired feel that’s right on trend.

These projects don’t require a workshop. All you need are some basic tools, a creative spirit, and PIPE DECOR® kits. They're great weekend builds that you can proudly display and use every day.

Each project is fully customizable to your style. Want a matte black finish for a sleek look? Prefer raw steel for rustic charm? We’ve got you covered.
