Decorating a home from top to bottom is an extremely expensive project if you take into consideration the costs of materials, minor repairs and other decorative accents. That said, if you take out your toolbox you can yourself work on some of these easy DIY home decor ideas that will give your house a classic touch without putting a dent in your pocket.
Hang photos on the bedroom wall
Hanging pictures of friends and family on the bedroom wall provides an element of comfort on one of those days when you are down and missing the bunch. To give a homely touch try attaching the photos or prints to a funky rope to get you started. Should you be wary of leaving gaping holes in the walls, use picture hanging strips which do not necessitate the need of nails or screws.You can make the photo prints yourself on Snapfish or FreePrints app.
Add texture to the living room
The home decor trends of 2021 are not just about color as texture is increasingly being used to add interest to the living room. Layering up different textures in the same or similar shades gives a good look. If you like neutrals, you will not have to decorate your living room with too many colors.Throw in some cushions and blankets to add depth to your furniture. If you have a jute rug, add a small patterned rug on top for layering. You might also consider some adding colorful carpets to add new life to your living space.Ā
Install a set of floating shelves
Floating shelves will take advantage of any wasted space on your wall to display your collection of books or any other souvenir you like. They are easy to assemble and will also fit perfectly in a place like the bathroom and allow extra shelving to store things that would not look good on the counter top. Also they are super easy to hang by just using your drill.
Faux concrete wall
Add texture to your space by painting a concrete-inspired wall in a trendy shade to quickly vamp up a tired looking wall. All you need is to gather your paint brush, some grey paint and lint-free cloth. Once the can samples are ready, paint swatches on the wall to get an idea as to how it will look. Have a moist rag ready to wipe out fresh splatters and scrape off dried drips with a plastic spatula.
Rope Bannister
One way to infuse a functional nod to the staircase is with a rope stair railing. Instead of the standard wooden bannister, use a Manila rope to match the aesthetic style of your stairway. You need to just anchor brackets to the wall or the individual posts as the case may be, secure the rope on them from the top to the bottom of the stairs.Then unravel both ends to provide a stunning unique look.
