DIY decor for a lot less than you think

1. Repaint your furniture

Repainting your furniture can instantly bring life to your boring old furniture. You’ll be surprised by the impact a fresh coat of paint will have on the interior of your space. This is an easy DIY that you can do very easily. If you think the hinges or knobs of the furniture need replacement, then replace them too to change the furniture completely. This way your old furniture will look absolutely new.

2. Hang a mirror next to the main door of your house

Hanging a mirror next to the entrance door can give your home a nice statement. This is an ideal purchase as when someone walks in the door, the mirror is the first thing they see. The best thing about this tip is the fact that you can check if your outfit is in place right before your walk out the door. For this purpose I suggest you to go for a really tall mirror so that you can see yourself all the way down to your shoes. Mirrors have the power to make a small space feel larger, if they are installed correctly. They also reflect light which brightens and lightens up the room. All in all, a mirror is a great investment.

Wallpapered ceiling is an unexpected décor idea that ties the color scheme of your space together. Go with something subtle that matches your sofas and curtains, so that once someone comes into your house they see that everything goes really well together. Apart from that, wallpapering the ceiling gives people something interesting and different to look at. This draws people’s attention all the way up to ceiling which makes the walls of your house appear larger.

4. Use trays as organizers

To organize the little things lying all around your house, put them on a spare tray. For example if you have a lot of perfumes and they seem to create a mess on your dresser then putting them all in a nice tray will add a really nice touch to your dresser. Another way to use this tip is to place candles on top of a vintage silver tray and place it in your living room. If you’re into vintage décor then this is a great way to incorporate it in your home.

5. Light up a jar

For this purpose you can use a glass jug or mason jar, fill it with fairy lights and voila! You have a beautiful lamp on your hand. You can place it on your nightstand or coffee table to spice up your home.
