8 creative and super-cheap, DIY furnishing and decorating projects
Furnishing and decorating your home is a continuous activity. But this can be an expensive undertaking - unless we try our hand at some DIY projects.
By doing so, we can recycle objects we have at home, or even find a way to creatively combine these with super-cheap purchases from second-hand shops. It's all about having the right idea or inspiration. Check out the ideas below and see if any of them could be right for you:
Decorate using DIY to express your tastes
We can't always afford the things we like, but don't be discouraged: you could use these items as the inspiration to create similar-looking items with your own hands. That's what was done for these vases inspired by the Kate Spade brand.
Decorative emotions
Slogans, quotes, mottos: words have enormous power, and we can use our favorite words to decorate our homes! There are a thousand ways make DIY decorations like this - for example, the one shown here made with wire and colored twine. And this project is super-easy to do too!
Be inspired by nature
Leaves, branches, flowers and even moss! In short, nature can really inspire us. With moss, for example, you can create murals like this one. Arrangements may require a little patience, but the "living" result will be worth it.
Imaginative recycling
Learning to recycle waste can be an inspiration in itself. And if you can create fun DIY objects - like this rhino fridge magnet - you will have really achieved something worthwhile.
These small candle holders are created from polystyrene cones, topped with glass jars like those used for baby food. An adorable idea to creatively decorate and illuminate your home.
Ideas to customize using DIY
One of the times in which there is the greatest desire to dedicate oneself to decorating is undoubtedly that of the holidays: Christmas, Hanukkah, Thanksgiving and so on, are perfect opportunities to do so. But why not for the rest of the year? These glass jars full of seeds last for a long time, and you can write whatever you like on the outsides of them!
Combining materials for unique DIY creations
Simple shapes, cheap materials: starting from this perspective, it becomes easy and fun to try some DIY projects. This lantern made from wooden blocks is very easy and elegant too!
A tin can can start to look worn-out, but if you clad it creatively, you can keep using it. This the idea applied to the kitchen utensil holder you can see pictured here.
