Transform Your Mantel
If you have a mantel, it's the perfect place to show off any favorite collectibles or trinkets that make your home feel cozy. Try to keep a balance of decor objects, with one focal point—like a mirror or piece of art—flanked by an equally appealing object.
Try to use odd numbers when grouping items—like three vases or five candlesticks. It's an easy trick that creates a visually pleasing arrangement.
Give Your Ceiling a Makeover
Many people overlook their ceilings as a place to decorate, but adding color or texture to this fifth wall can change the entire look of a room. Try painting the ceiling a dramatic shade that coordinates with the paint or decorations in the room or stenciling a pattern to really make it pop.
Floral arrangements, reprints of classic paintings and even ceramic sculptures can add a pop of color and cheer to any space. These decor ideas are a great way to bring natural beauty into your home.
Hang Some Art
Whether it's a single painting or multiple framed photos, well-placed art is a great way to add character and interest to your walls. However, hanging your art isn't always simple. Artwork and photos that are hung too high or low can throw off the whole room.
To avoid this, hang artwork at a seated eye-level height. When in doubt, view your art from different angles and move it up or down to find the right placement.
Add a Rug
This is a super fun project that can either be for a party or a permanent decor addition to your home. It’s really easy to do with just some tissue paper in different colors, twine, yarn or twist ties, and scissors. Find the full tutorial at DIYs. Make sure you center your rug in a focal point like the fireplace or large windows for more details by Universeheadline.com.
Add a Mirror to Your Mantel
If you have a mantel, a mirror is an easy way to add visual interest. When paired with the right decor, it can make your home seem brighter and bigger.
Try using a mirror with a unique patterned frame for added flair or opt for one that's more understated. Either way, the trick is to keep other accessories streamlined to let the mirror shine.
Bring in a Chandelier to Your Bathroom
Putting a chandelier in the bathroom is a bold style choice that adds glamor no amount of wall paint or tile can match. Here, a bubble chandelier illuminates a black freestanding tub in this serene bathroom by Blackband Design.
If hanging a chandelier over the tub isn’t practical, consider centering it above a vanity like in this bathroom by First Day of Home. This DIY project uses decoupage and is surprisingly easy.
Bring in a Full-Length Mirror
Mirrors don't just elongate spaces or reflect light; they can also make a big statement when leaning against bare walls. For a deconstructed look, try hanging three mirrors of varying sizes with simple frames in a row.
Give a plain-jane mirror new life with a quick DIY project. Using lengths of string, create lettering that reads "play" in your laundry room or "rest" in your bedroom.
Bring in a Chandelier to Your Living Room
A wood chandelier offers old-world charm for formal living rooms. For more bohemian spaces, try a wooden bead chandelier or something with unique sculptural design.
A metallic pendant can refract light throughout the room, adding visual interest and a luxe feel to any style. For a contemporary room, try a glass bubble chandelier that adds fun and unexpected flair.
Final Words:
You'll need framed cork board, decorative tissue paper, foam board, scissors and a hot glue gun to make this DIY wall hanging. Perfect for fall, it shows off amber waves of wheat for an organic touch.
