While curb appeal and exterior renovations can increase your chances of selling your home, an effective way to attract potential buyers is to focus on the interior and update your home decor with simple DIY projects.
The pandemic has forced us to spend more time inside our homes; however, platforms like social media, websites, and blogs have made web appeal just as impactful as curb appeal. Check out the easy ways you can improve the decor inside your home.
Paint your doors
You might be amazed at how simple it is to paint a room yourself if you prefer a painted surface to wallpaper. The caveat is that quality results need patience, especially when it comes to program setup.A fresh coat of paint can go a long way. Make a statement with a colorful frame or design, or simply coat your door with a clean white to eliminate any chips or scratches that are distracting. You can make a magnificent Moroccan-themed wall pattern with just a bit of cardboard, and your family and friends will be surprised when you tell them you painted it yourself. And, most of all, you won’t have to bother about ripping down irritating wallpaper when you’re ready for a change. Instead, simply paint over it.
You can also use any striped design paint maybe in black and white stripes. Not only the walls but also make your doors, furniture and other accessories colourful by giving them a new coat of paint.
Touch up bleak items around the house
Simple touch-ups to old furniture like sanding and painting can make a worn table appear brand new, as well as tie a room together. Similarly, painting over items like pots, the base of wooden lamps, candle holders and more can create a complementary look that instantly upgrades the appearance of a room.
String lights
Having a little twinkle in a space can often seem tacky, but string lights can add the proper amount of soft light and warmth to any room. You can make your own paper lantern string lights for a fun, easy project or hang string lights above your bed for a cozy atmosphere. Adding fairy lights to the room can actually add a cozy atmosphere to the room. You can do a lot with the lighting. If you are not willing to invest in expensive lamps, you can make side table lamps from a vase. Fill out the vase with the fairy lights and get the lamplight on when the room light is off. It will give a very warm and beautiful effect in the room.
DIY Galleries
Making a beautiful gallery for your walls doesn’t require art expertise. Painting something minimal like black stripes or geometric patterns on blank canvases can add the right amount of texture or chic aesthetic to your walls without overwhelming the eye. You can add the fake artificial grass and add some plant pots. You can also hang the small plant pots to the roof of the gallery to keep them hanging. Paint the pots with different colors to make them look funky and pretty at the same time. Add some cushions or wooden pellets for a small sitting OR if the gallery is not spacious enough, you can just add a small piece of log to sit on with your partner and enjoy the cup of tea.
Mosaic Mirror
In order to make a mosaic mirror, add the broken pieces of CD to a square shaped frame. CDs may be out of style, but that doesn’t mean you can’t integrate them into your decor. Take a look at how the holographic discs can be utilized to decorate your home in unique ways.
An assortment of CDs are shattered into small pieces and elaborately put on a mirror frame in this incredibly easy DIY. As a consequence, you’ll have a magnificent decor piece that will shine wherever you put it.
Crafts
Handcrafts for your walls can add bursts of color to a room. Pin origami cranes or string bright garlands over empty walls for a bold look. Make a paper banner to hang or create string art with nails and yarn.
They also recommend cutting out cardboard to the size of the artwork and attaching it to the wall with detachable glue. If you don’t have any framed pieces, Judy and Jess recommend looking for vintage artwork at flea markets, antique stores, and secondhand shops.
Create an accent wall with tape
If you have tape lying around, consider using it for decor. Create an accent wall in a playroom or nursery with short strips of colorful washi tape or enhance the design in your living room with geometric lines for a more modern, clean look.
Build shelves
Adding shelves to your wall allows for easy decoration. Give your room a ‘homey’ feel by placing a few plants, jars or books on the shelves. For something with a little more flair, craft your own wooden triangle shelves to hold photos, succulents and baubles.
For a holiday exhibit that can bring a personal touch to any area, gather your favorite cards, photos, or even your child’s artwork. Make your own frame or buy one from the store. Begin by hot-gluing small bulldog clips to a wooden frame, then placing it in an easily accessible location where you may change the layout as frequently as you desire. Hang a shelf made of coarse rope, like as jute, from a Shaker rail with circular pegs to fill a wall with elegance and utility.
Jars
Mason Jars can offer a range of options for decoration. Hang small jars of flowers or candles by a window to create a beautiful and delicate aesthetic, or fill mason jars with fairy lights and place them on tables and shelves for pockets of warmth.
These are just a few examples of how you can update your home on your own without the high expense or effort. Whether you are decorating for yourself or showcasing for potential buyers, these charming designs are sure to impress anyone who sees them.
