Everyday games or Homemade games?

One of the central elements of my diploma are the everyday objects. For a few days now I've been wondering whether the term everyday object gives a slightly distorted impression of what I'm actually focusing on.

A large part of the project is namely rooted in a fascination of the home made. Is it possible for people to use their own belongings as game controllers rather than buy expensive ones from the store? In this sense the term everyday object becomes slightly misleading. It is also easier to talk to people about objects they have in their homes on a general level rather than just focusing on the ones that are considered everyday. When doing surveys later on in the project I will therefore talk about objects of the home rather than everyday objects.
