DIY Home Décor Ideas

With the unsolicited entry of Coronavirus in our lives, we are forced to be in the throes of social isolation. Many of us are spending most of our waking hours in our home sweet home. 

Now, instead of sulking over being locked inside your premises, let’s envision this lockdown as sunny side up!

Let us focus on our lovely abode, which could be pleading us for a rejig! 

Adding a dash of zing to a drab and dreary corner could cast a magic spell on not just the ambience but also enliven your mood. And, the best way to bring about the transformation is through DIY projects. 

DIY is not just about saving money, but it gives you a chance to give wings to your imagination and create something that you can call your own!

So, without dilly-dallying, let’s dive straight into some fantastic DIY home décor ideas that are affordable, super easy to follow, and will fetch you incredible results.  

Ladder up Your Plants

Do you have an old ladder cluttering your attic? 

Well, it’s time to get it down to adorn your home décor. Either you could brush it with varnish or paint it with the colour of your choice. 

Lean it against a wall and ginger it up with some lovely potted plants. It’s a prudent and delightful solution to creating a vertical garden for your home décor. 

DIY Shoe Rack

PVC pipe is one of those regular construction materials that can be easily bought online or at a hardware store. Or, if you have some old unused ones kept in your roof space, it’s even better! 

Create some more room for your squashed shoes by creating this DIY shoe rack. You can easily cut, drill, paint, and glue these pipes to create a design of your choice. This shoe rack is perfect for the for all kind of footwear.

Hanging Glass Bottle Décor

If you have some old glass bottles (maybe sauce, wine, or milkshake bottles) littering around, you can use them to jazz up your balcony or your garden area. 

All you need is some coir rope, old glass bottles, and some artificial plant stems. If you want to keep it real, you could even use money plant stems that can thrive pretty well in bottles filled with water. But, make sure that you change the water every week!

The next step entails tying the bottlenecks together with the coir rope and hanging them in your favourite place, just the way you envisaged!

DIY Picture Frame

You can dress up your bare walls or dull corners in double-quick time with this DIY home décor ideas.

All you have to do is get your favourite shot or any abstract art digitally enlarged. Paste it on a canvas paper and add strips of wood or popsicle sticks on top and bottom or all four sides to make a quick, quirky frame!

Pom-Pom and Tassel Cushions

You can doll up your existing throw cushions or plush blankets, or lampshades by using this simple home decor idea. Get some tassels and pom poms and sew them up on the corners or edges to breathe a new life into your weather-beaten furnishings.

Glitz up Your Walls

Are you tired of seeing the monotonous wall colour? Add a pop of colourful hues to your insipid wall by pasting a beautiful wallpaper. 

You can easily buy peel and paste wallpapers of your choice online. If you feel your creative juices are flowing inundated, you could create a patchwork using multiple wallpapers.

DIY Candle Holders

If you have no dearth of creative talent, fetch some old water glasses or cheesecake jars. 

If you love to paint,  grab your acrylic paints and paintbrushes, and awaken the Picasso in yourself to create amazing art on the glass.

And, if the painting isn’t your thing, get jute rope or coconut coir and glue. Apply some glue to the area that you want to cover with coir. Now wrap the coir around the glass where you have applied the glue. 

Ta-da! Your quirky candle holders to jazz up your home décor are ready.

DIY Placemats

Don’t settle with the spendy placemats available in the market that don’t even team up with your décor. Instead, you can get the fabric of your choice and a vinyl sheet. 

For this DIY home décor, cut the fabric into rectangular shapes of the desired size. 

Next, you would need to cut two rectangular pieces of the same size from the vinyl sheet for making a mat. 

Lastly, follow the instructions included with the vinyl sheet to laminate your placemats. Also, you can prune the edges with pinking shears to give a finished look to your placemats.

All you have to do is paste the glue on the bottle and wrap around the jute rope in a pattern that you desire. Creative skills know no bounds!
