10 DIY Bee Hotels You Can Make For Your Garden

By providing food and water in your garden, you can encourage native bees to visit and by making them a bee hotel, you can encourage them to stay. Why is this important? Bee’s are crucial pollinators and an important part of the Eco system.

Building a bee hotel for the garden is a fun project to do with the kids, young and old. Bee hotels are very popular and whilst you can buy your own bee hotel you can make them too. How do you make your own bee hotel? We have listed 10 diffrent DIY tutorials for you to follow below but let me give you a few basic. A bee hotel needs to consist of hollow stems of bamboo, Bee hotel nesting straws or reeds that can be bundled together and packed tightly in a large container. The container or hotel can be small or large.
DIY insect hotels can be made out of recycled material such as bricks, pallets, and even piles of old logs. but once you build it how will they know your Bee hotel is ready for business? Start, by planting bee attracting flowers such as poppies, sunflowers, and sage favorites. Bee’s are slightly fussy when it comes to their accommodation so make sure your homemade bee hotel is in a warm sunny position and off the ground. Don’t make it too high, only about 1 metre as these high flyers prefer to sleep a little lower.

I am absolutely in love with these color-styled hidden storage books. They are one of those home decor finds that instantly make a shelf or coffee table look more styled, more thoughtful, and a little more expensive. Which color would you get?

What makes them so appealing is that they are not just decorative. Each faux book opens up to reveal hidden storage, which means they are doing double duty as both decor and a practical way to tuck away little bits of everyday clutter. I love anything that helps a space look beautiful while still being useful, and these do exactly that.

The blue tones in this set are especially lovely. They feel calm, elegant, and easy to blend into so many decor styles, from modern and coastal through to classic or vintage-inspired spaces. They have that curated designer look that makes it seem like you have carefully styled every corner of your home.

These are the kind of pieces that make me ridiculously happy because they solve a problem without looking like storage. You can use them to hide remotes, notes, keepsakes, or all those random little things that never seem to have a proper home. Instead of adding more baskets or boxes, you get something that looks polished and intentional.

I think that is why I am so taken with them. They are pretty, clever, and practical all at once. For anyone who loves styled bookshelves, beautiful coffee table decor, or home accessories that secretly work harder than they look, these hidden storage books are such a fun find.
