So, you’ve just moved into a new house, or maybe you’re just tired of staring at the same boring old beige wall every single day. You dream of hiring an interior decorator to make your house look amazing and chic, just like the ones in the magazines. But realistically, ain’t nobody got money for that!
But lucky for you, if you’ve got a bit of creative flair, or even if you can just follow directions really well, there are other ways in which you can decorate your home without having to empty out your bank account.
How, you ask? DIY, of course!
And while it’s true that some DIY projects require a lot of time and skill, you’ll be surprised at how quick, easy and affordable some of them are that anyone can do it. Check a few of them out below, and you might just find yourself inspired to pick up a pair of scissors and a hot glue gun!
1. Crate Bookshelf
It’s super, duper easy! Just get a few ordinary crates, paint them (or you could leave them unpainted for a more rustic look), and stack them up! You can mix it up too, and have fun creating a shape you like, paint them different colors for a kid’s room shelf.
2. River Stone Doormat
Turn a boring old doormat into something unique and cool! You can pick stones like these up from your local craft store, and they come in different sizes, shapes, and colors. The only other supplies you need are a plain rubber doormat and some glue. Have fun making your own patterns and get creative with it!
3. Flower Monogrammed Letters
How gorgeous does that look! All you need are few pretty flowers you can pick up for cheap (or if you’ve got a bit more time on your hands, you can also make paper flowers yourself), a monogram letter you can fashion out of any piece of cardboard, and flower foam pads.
4. Plastic Spoon Decors
These plastic spoon crafts look so elegant and beautiful, and all you need to make them are cheap plastic spoons you can buy in bulk and a bit of colored sprays, that’s it! They look like you got them at an expensive home décor boutique!
5. Tin Can Holder
Use up all the old tin cans you’ve got lying around to make this cool spoon holder. It not only looks really cute, but will also help keep your kitchen clutter free and organized. You could also tweak the idea a bit and make a pen holder for your work desk.
