- Put canvas over an area
Hang a canvas painted using interior latex paint for brightening the blank walls. Go for big canvases, so that they fill the entire wall.
- Make a side table
Stack some modular storage units and create one stepped side table having surfaces where you can put lighting and displays. Place miniature still lives inside the cubbies, or go for stacking some reading materials within them.
- Hang plates
You can create a refreshing wall arrangement by hanging plates of unexpected colors. When hanging plates, incorporate variations in textures, sizes and hues. The plates with the most dramatic look should be placed at the center of the display.
- Use die cut paper cuttings
If making craft projects is one of your hobbies, you can go for making die cut paper cuttings, scrapbooks and other such things, and hang them on walls. You would need a die cutting machine for this, and of course, proficiency in die cutting. You can find quality die cutting machines at many retail and online stores. Such stores often also offer dieboard laser cutting machines.
- Brighten the room with wicker
Low cost wicker, which appears like it belongs outdoors, transforms the ambience of a room. Place the wicker chairs at a sunny corner, or mix them together with your upholstered furniture pieces.
- Get a bit crafty
If you have mittens with their mates missing, you can get a bit crafty with them. Cut felt such that it fits the backing of a frame, and then stick the felt to the backing using craft glue. Next, place the mitten at the center of the felt and stick it. Leave it for drying overnight. Your mitten craft is ready to be hanged on a wall. You can create multiple such frames and place them on the walls.
- Incorporate different hues
Use lamp shades in different colors to make a statement. Go for only one color for each room, and opt the rest of the lampshades in hues that are neutral, like white and parchment. You can place these lampshades over tables in different rooms.
- Make a stack of your books
Piled books attract attention. If you have oversize books that are not getting accommodated in shelves, since the shelves are not that deep or high, go for stacking the books over a flat surface, like an end table or a bench.
- Mix different patterns
Irrespective of the season, you can give an year-round springlike look and feel to your bedroom by using floral pillowcases and sheets teamed up with white linens. Choose patterns that have a white background, to maintain harmony in the florals. Go for draping the bedside tables using white matelasse runners or vintage floral tablecloths.
- Repurpose some furniture pieces
A rickety chair can be used for a purpose other than seating. You can use such a chair as a table beside your bed. If the caning of a chair has a hole, put a tray over the chair, and place things like a reading lamp or an alarm clock over the tray.
So, go ahead and implement these inexpensive home decoration ideas for spicing up the look of your interiors. Easy to employ, these ideas would consume neither much of your time nor money.
