15 DIY WALL DECOR IDEAS
Once you have been starring at one corner of your home, it is bound to start bothering you. In this lockdown, this starring has bothered me a lot, and I am sure must have been the same case with you folks too.
Maybe you're struggling with storage space, organization,
or just a somewhat lackluster apartment design that needs upgrading. Or maybe
that blank wall staring back at you is begging for the gallery wall you've been
saying you were going to put up forever. Try your hand at some of our favorite,
easy DIYs to give your space a fresh upgrade.
So let's get started
Frame a Wall
How could be there no wall of frames, narrating a story
behind the scenes! There has to be some space dedicated to the frozen memories
that you can cherish anytime.
Travel Through a Wall
Are you a traveler who has
collected many travel keepsakes through the years? Don’t let them stockpile and
gather dust in the corner, bring them out to chic up your wall! You can create
a feature wall with your favorite travel photos, posters, or even maps. You can
also install a floating shelf for keepsakes that can’t be hung, like beautiful
ceramics, figurines, or tableware.
Create Colorful Mosaic
Create a striking mosaic photo
wall idea by sticking your colorful square prints to a colored
paper/paperboard. Yes, it’s that easy!
Its Fairy Affair
Who
doesn't love fairy lights and their warm cozy effect in your room. They are
inexpensive yet look royal. Simply clip Retro prints or square prints to the
strings, and you’ll have a dazzling picture wall ideas in less than 30 minutes.
Grid is the New Love
Either hang it or keep it
stationary on your study table or wherever you can feel the vibes. Clip you
photos and prop it at your cozy corner.
Split like Germans
Choose 1 of your favorite photos and
split it into 2 or 3 parts (you can split it using a photo split app, or Adobe
Photoshop). Print the split photos and hang them together on your living room
wall.
It is Rusty
Who knew
that old window panes can be used as a display for a photo wall? All you need
to do is to get the measurements right and fit your photos onto the panes. Old,
battered window panes will create a rustic effect, but if you want a cleaner
look, you can repaint it.
The Timeline Wall
Here’s
another fun photo wall idea. If you want your photos to tell a story, a wall
timeline is the right way to go. Collect photos from various eras during your
life and place them within the right chronological order along your wall.
If you are a Minimalist
If you favor elegant and
minimalist decor, this idea is for you. You don’t need a lot of photos, just
pick your 2 or 3 favorite portraits of yours, print them big and hang them on
the wall. You can use either framed photos or canvas prints if you want a
different style.
Ombre is Forever
Take your love of colorful displays to
another level by creating this Ombre photo decoration ideas. Use a few colors
to make a smooth gradation, from the pale to the most vibrant colors. You can
find budget frames that come at a cheap price, or you can also do it without
for a more affordable option.
Old Cascading is Gold
Align your photo frames or
posters along the wall down your staircase. These wall hanging pictures are
guaranteed to create an interesting viewing experience every single time.
There’s something about a stairway that allows you to be more abstract with
your photos, so feel free to experiment with various types of wall hanging
posters, canvas prints, and wall photo frames ideas. Use them as hanging images.
Cocktail Wall
Mixing is fun. Use taping, frames,
hanging or fairy lights at one place. Make a subtle yet different combination
at one wall so that your photo decoration shouldn’t look uniform. Mix any photo
prints with framed images, and maybe little props or keepsakes that mean a lot
to you.
Retro Wall
Retro is never old-fashioned, rather Retro
prints are making their way back to glory. I often used such pictures for
scrapbooks and journals, but they can also make a good decor statement when you
use them to make a Retro wall. It’s easy, fun, and it doesn’t cost you a
fortune. Just print your favorite size and shape to fall in love all over again.
Feed Your Wall
For Instagrammers who create beautiful
imagery and inspiring galleries, this one is perfect for you. If you like how
your feed looks on your tiny screen, imagine looking and admiring it right in
front of you, in your own house.
To make this, you can go with a simple way by sticking
your photo prints directly on the wall, or add a little something to make it
more stylish, for example, thremocol cut and colored in shapes and sizes of
your photos or something that can create an embossing look.
Canvas Banner on your Wall
Stylish homemade customize
canvas banners are trendy nowadays. All you need is a dowel, canvas fabric,
leather scraps for the letters, and a glue gun to stick them to the canvas. No
sewing is required! And your wall is all dapper.
I hope you like all these ideas, which one do you like the most?
