Inspiring Home Décor DIY Ideas for Your Home

Create a Terrarium Garden

Terrariums bring the charm of the outdoors into indoor spaces. As one of the easiest and most affordable DIY home décor ideas, a terrarium display is simple enough for anyone to indulge in. It is something which can be done on a budget, put together with the help of kids, or even be interesting enough to get seniors involved in the project.

Benefits of terrariums:

• Terrariums offer an attractive small space solution to create a miniature garden under glass
• For home owners with a green thumb but minimal garden space, devising their own mini garden is a useful way to perk up their indoor living space
• Terrariums are easy to make, and a low-maintenance DIY project

Get Creative with the Headboard

When it’s difficult to move furniture around in the bedroom, why not give the bed a fresh new look by trying your hand at a stylish headboard? For a simple DIY home décor project, start off by simply updating the upholstered headboard with a fresh, new fabric. Or to make things more exciting, opt for creating a wall paper headboard.

This DIY home décor on a budget idea involves using rolls of bold, unframed wallpaper as a headboard behind the bed, matching the paper motifs or designs with the bed linen to create a cohesive look.

Another way to revamp the look of the bed is to use an area rug as a headboard. The process calls for hanging a rug on the wall as a headboard alternative. Typically, a standard 5x8 rug is wide enough for a queen sized bed. Options like Indian dhurries are easy to work with since they are both thin and lightweight. 

Use Shadowbox Frames

Converting a shadowbox frame into wall art or a tabletop display is an easy do-it-yourself house decoration project that can liven up the look of the room. Shadow box frames can be used to display keepsakes, childhood memories, kids’ crafts, commemorate a special event, or exhibit any other three- dimensional image or item. This craft idea is a great way to assemble various mementos with minimal cost involved.

Use shadowbox frames to not only create a visual interest in the living space, but also protect your three dimensional treasures from dirt, dust, and sun damage.

Spruce Up Your Walls With Stencils

If a room seems too bland, add some spark to its walls by stenciling. In fact, stencils are a very affordable and simple DIY home décor idea that has become a huge decorating trend and can be used in almost every kind of living space. It is one of the most artistic yet basic ways of creating attractive accent walls, floors, ceilings, fabric and window shades among many others.

Use stencils to give the room a distinct character, ranging from trellis patterns, flower wall art stencils, vintage paisley patterns, damask designs or any other motif to suit your room décor.

Decorate With Candles

The addition of candles as a DIY home design idea can help define a room’s ambience from creating a welcoming environment, establishing a romantic atmosphere, or simply setting up a great visual in the living space. Pillar candles may be displayed in clusters of three to put together a budget-friendly centerpiece in the living room. Candlesticks can be added to include a touch of elegance or placed in sconces to lend a warm glow to the room.

Candles can be grouped together in colors, assembled in distinct shapes, or rounded up in specific scents to complement the room’s contemporary or vintage design. 

Use candles to decorate around your house, including:

• Kitchen
• Bedroom
• Bathroom
• Living Room
• Patio
