  • Custom pillowcases – Be creative and take all the fabric you don’t use anymore and make fun custom pillowcases! You can sew together old sweaters, tea towels, or even T-shirts, and you’ll end up with some bright pops of color and original patterns that you could never find anywhere else.
  • Paint, paint, paint – Do you have some leftover paint from the last time you had done a DIY project? Well, use it to paint that old piece of furniture that you don’t like anymore. It’s absolutely fascinating how a bright color can change the way your home looks.
  • Try to make an inventive headboard – You can skip paying big bucks on a new headboard, and instead try to make one yourself! Create a headboard from scratch, by using an old door, or even suspending your favorite blanket or sheet on the wall. If you feel courageous, you can paint a faux headboard for a bit of color, to add a finishing touch to your bedroom.
  • Try experimenting with wall art – Make sure you update your photos and art constantly and don’t be afraid to try new stuff! Frame anything that speaks to you, favorite photographs of your loved ones, or even a quote that inspires you. Then, wrap the photo frame you already have with a different-color fabric or frame it in your favorite scarf.
  • Use natural elements – When it comes to adding texture to your home, it can be really difficult to find some interesting objects that are new and available at the same time. That’s why you can turn grass, branches, and pods into different decorating objects, such as wreaths, hooks, or even decorative fillers.
  • Recycle as much as you can – Did you ever consider recycling aluminum cans without wrappers, or glass bottles in different shapes and colors that could become amazing centerpieces? You can unify a mismatched bottle collection just by adding paint to the inside. You’ll have a great color statement in every room!
