Let's try to transform it togetheryour home? Not just transform it, but so as to surprise your guests and even yourself! Look at me, what a dreamer, inventor and creative person I am! And the walls will help us with this. They will become for us, like a clean canvas for an artist, a place for creativity, a place for the embodiment of ideas for transforming the house. DIY wall decor without using complex finishing technologies and construction secrets. That's what we'll do! What do you need for this? Fantasy (well, we have plenty of that!), free time (we'll find it too), a sense of humor (we have it), materials and items for decoration (we'll find them, make them, build them). Well, if you have enough of everything, then go ahead! Make way for creativity!
Creative Kitchen Walls
Here we will need, first of all, a kitchenutensils. For example, baking tins. There are a lot of different tins on sale now: for biscuits, for cakes, for cookies. Round and rectangular, with holes in the middle and with a shaped bottom. Or maybe you don’t even have to buy them, but just rummage through your “storage places” – and you’ll easily find something suitable there. What are we going to do with them? Decorate the walls! Instead of storing them hidden in a closet, hang them on the wall. Playing with the size, color and shape of these utensils, we’ll get an original, delicious and creative DIY wall decor. Don’t like the tins on the wall? Okay, let’s leave them alone and turn our attention to the inside of the cutlery drawer. Take a tray, paint it a suitable color, attach crossbars to it (like stripes on a vest, but not so many). And place forks, spoons, knives under the bars – the miracle panel is ready! We put the tray on the wall, and next to it – baking tins (well, I really want to see how they look on the wall). Okay, okay, we won’t touch the tins. What are these? Old saucepan lids? How could they not be used for decoration? We take them out, take paints and brushes (or even decoupage napkins), turn the lids… well, for example, into multi-colored lids, or into painted lids, and then – onto the wall. Here’s your creative decor, and who’s to say that it isn’t? Perhaps these ideas will inspire you with some other options for using kitchen utensils to decorate walls? If yes, then don’t forget to share them with us. And we, having finished being creative in the kitchen, move to the living room.
Creative Living Room Walls
Here, of course, the kitchen utensils are not in any waytheme. But all sorts of foam plastic imitations of stucco are quite "on topic". No, no, don't be scared, we won't use it for its intended purpose. We'll leave this option for boring and not very creative people. We'll buy various polyurethane rosettes ourselves (which are intended to be attached under the chandelier on the ceiling). We take these rosettes and attach them to the wall beautifully (and most importantly - creatively). If the walls are white, then you can put a contrasting base under the rosettes, or paint the polyurethane itself a different color. How do you like this idea? And have you changed the curtains in the living room lately? If so, then it's high time to do it, and at the same time prepare some material for decorating the walls. In general, curtains are curtains, but for us now the walls are more important. So, we take the same fabric (preferably colored and with a pattern) from which our curtains are sewn, stretch it over a wooden frame or a hoop, or a round mirror frame. Or we can stretch it over everything at once, and then use the resulting panel (or several panels of different shapes and sizes, but the same color) to decorate the walls. Do you think it’s not creative? No! No extra fabric from curtains? No problem! We make the same panels from any other scraps of fabric. By the way, even if you don’t have such scraps in your “stash”, they can be bought very cheaply in fabric stores. So, we make multi-colored and multi-textured panels from fabric stretched over frames – voila! Creative panels for the living room are ready.
The bedroom also needs a creative
And here it would be appropriate to demonstrateown handicraft achievements. Do you crochet or knit? Great! Knit several small openwork canvases from light yarn. Fix them on a contrasting dark base and place in a frame. These creative pictures can decorate the walls in your bedroom. Instead of knitted "pictures" for wall decor, you can use any other handicraft pictures. What technique do you master: quilling, origami, textile sculpture, modeling? Do not hesitate to show off your creations, making interior design items from them. Handicrafts are not your element? Well, use, for example, a collection of hats, or ties with belts to decorate the walls in the bedroom. They will successfully replace a panel or become a creative material for its manufacture. Arrange a semblance of a jewelry store window on the wall, hanging beads, chains, bracelets, necklaces and other your "jewels" on hooks. Remember that decorating the walls in your apartment with your own hands does not necessarily mean expensive materials or architectural delights. It is “two in one” - your imagination and sense of style.
Children's room - a springboard for creativity
Talk about what is beautiful and simpleWe will not say that your children's drawings and crafts will become an indispensable wall decor in the nursery. This is already known to everyone and, alas, is no longer creative. But do you consider yourself to be exactly like that? And are you not afraid to experiment? Then invite your child to paint the walls themselves. Just give them real paints for wall painting and take the process seriously. Discuss the concept, draw a sketch, discuss the stages of implementing the plan. Believe me, even if the result of such painting does not meet your aesthetic needs, it is worth it! Your child will remember these moments as some of the best, he will be flattered by your trust and will definitely respond in kind. But there is another, less extreme, but no less creative option. Take colored paper and cut out different figures (fish, birds, butterflies, people). And then place them on the wall the way you or your child likes. In general, do not forget that it is he who will live in this room, and his opinion should be taken into account. Otherwise, you will be so creative that you will upset (at least) your child. In general, you probably already understood the main idea of creative wall decor. Nothing standard, everything is exclusive: either an idea, or materials, or a way to decorate walls with your own hands. So do not stop the work of your "idea" generator. Invent, fantasize, be ironic. We recommend reading:
