7 Creative Ideas for Decorating the Home

By putting a creative spin on your decorating, you will create a home that is personalized to you. You don’t have to knock down walls and put in a new, expensive carpet to own a home that you love! Whether you want to create a place that emits warmth or one that could be taken straight out of an eighteenth-century novel, here are six creative ideas for decorating your home. 

1: Free Paint a Wall 

While the idea of free painting a wall might scare you, you will most likely be pleasantly surprised by the outcome. Have a look at some tutorials for free painting online and give it a go. Remember – even if you create something you don’t like, you can always start over! Choose some color paints that you love and go to work. It doesn’t have to be a picture of anything; many of the coolest looking walls are just splashes of paint! Whatever it turns out like, you are sure to have some fun. 

2: Get Creative with Tiles

Just because your tiles are old doesn’t mean you have to throw them out. Get your DIY head-on and start painting them! Whether you want to spruce up your kitchen tiles or repaint the ones in the bathroom, by using Tile Stencils, you will create a professional-looking finish that appears brand new. 

3: Use Wine Bottles for Candles

If you’re a big fan of candles, but you’re bored of the same old appearance, then why not put your candles in old wine bottles? It’s a cheap and easy way of using up old bottles to create an antique sort of appearance in your home. Plus, once the wax has melted over the sides, it looks even better!

4: Make Your Own Art

Get creative by getting out your paints and making your own art for the walls. If you’re a talented artist, then this is an excellent opportunity to use your skills to spruce up your home, but even if you’re not, there are plenty of tutorials showing you how to create cool effects with paint easily. 

If you have children, get them in on it! Give them some paints and let them go wild, and you will be left with an art piece that brightens the home and reminds you of a happy time. 

5: Use Trays for Bits and Bobs

If you are tired of having your stuff out and about, then using trays is a fun way of keeping everything neat without needing it to be in drawers. Normal household items count as decorations, too! Find some unique, beautiful trays to serve as a holder for everything from bobby pins to your candle lighters. 

6: Create a Gallery Wall

Most houses have a few pictures hanging on the walls, but how many have a full-blown gallery wall? Get your favorite pictures printed out, frame them, and choose a wall to make your personalized gallery. The best thing about this is you’ll have something new to look at every time you walk past, and there’s nothing better than filling your home with happy memories. 

7: Make Your Own Curtains 

Can’t find curtains that show off your unique style? Make them yourself! Hunt for some cool fabric and use a sewing machine to build your own. You’ll have far more range to choose from when looking for fabric rather than ready-made curtains.
