DIY Wall Art Ideas to Give Your Home a One-of-a-Kind Look

January 11, 2015 By Stephanie

If your walls look a little bare, why not adorn them with decor you’ve made yourself? These DIY wall art ideas can help you beautify your space with stuff you have just lying around the house. Plus, guests will be even more impressed once you tell them you crafted your own decor!

1. Framed wallpaper

If you have leftover wallpaper lying around, frame a piece and turn it into art. You can also do this with fabric, too, if you have that instead. This is an incredibly simple way to add visual interest and color to your space, and it’s especially great if you are on a tight budget!

2. Hang up a scarf

Scarves that feature a really interesting pattern or design can’t be fully appreciated when bundled up around your neck. Instead, show off your favorite accessory by hanging it on the wall like a tapestry.

3. Display your stylish hats

Just like your scarf, you can also display your fashionable hats as wall art. This not only will liven up your space, but it can also be a simple solution if you’re struggling to find more storage space in the bedroom. Simply install hooks where you have extra wall space.

4. Make your own string art

If you’re looking for more of a challenge, try getting crafty with string art! All you need are cork rolls, string, nails, a glue gun, hanging strips, and of course, your imagination! To get started, visit honey and fitz, which offers a great tutorial you can follow.

5. Create wall art with your postcards

If you have a collection of postcards from past travels, or if you simply have a lot of friends and family who like to send postcards, use them to create a collage. Simply tape or glue your postcards onto a foam board in the order you like best.

6. Make word art by cutting out magazines

Think of your favorite inspiration quote or phrase and turn it into art! To begin, cut out letters from magazines or patterned paper. Then, simply stick them on a canvas painted in the color of your choice.
