There are a
lot of things that we can do by ourselves around the house, that we usually do
not attempt to, just because we are not used to it. It is time to stop being at
the mercy of the carpenter or painter, and find out how interesting it is to
attempt such projects. Here are 5 easy DIY ideas to help with the décor of your
home:
Wall accent: A great way to bring a room alive is
to paint one wall, ideally one that light falls on during the day, in a vibrant
colour, or with some textures on it. The paint is easily available in any
hardware store, and the techniques are not at all difficult to learn. If you
feel hesitant, start with a simple painting technique and move to textures
later.
Photo wall: Introduce a conversation piece along
with celebrating your memories – by taking up an entire wall or a part of it
for photos of you with your family and friends. You can put individual photos
onto a larger frame and hang it up as 1 or 2 large pieces, or you can hang the
pieces individually. It is very easy to do all the carpentry work required by
just using a home toolkit.

Use those glass bottles: Your old glass bottles can be a
great way to add a pop of colour to your rooms. Fill them with different
coloured beads or stones, or even swirl a bit of glass paint around to make
them look completely different – there are many tutorials you can find online
such as this one.
Be seasonal: Diwali and Christmas are just two of
the many festivals we celebrate and just these two can give rise to so many
décor ideas. From decorated diyas to DIY Christmas ornaments, there is a lot
you can try, and you can always have a seasonal corner or nook in your living
room to celebrate the festival.
Upcycle a piece of furniture: The newest term is to upcycle, not
just recycle. This means you can take a drab looking but basically sound piece
of furniture, and with a fresh coat of paint make it look completely different
and worth being the focal point of the room.
These are
just some ideas for home décor - try it yourself, it’s strangely addictive.
