Creative DIY Wall Art Ideas to Decorate Your Space

Now that Fall is here, we’re thinking about redecorating our homes here which means it’s the perfect time for some DIY inspiration. There are literally thousands of different ways to make beautiful art for the walls of your home or office (along with posters and prints). But we narrowed it down a little to our top favorite ideas. Whether you’re into metallics or neon, color block , 2D or 3D there’s an idea here to fit your home and your budget. Be sure to tell us in the comments which is your favorite.

1. Sequins Wall Art:
Add some sparkle and shine to your home with this simple project. It’s a great way to make use of an old or thrifted frame.

2. 3D Colorblock Wall Art:
This 3D circle installation proves that when it comes to color block, it’s not always hip to be square.

3. Postcard Wall Art:
Whether it’s a set of postcards like these Penguin classics covers or a random assortment, using a collection of postcards is an inexpensive art solution.

4. Thumbtack Wall Art: Who knew office supplies could be so chic? Using gold colored thumbtacks really elevates this piece to a work of art.

5. Hi Painting:
This fun piece is made with a common kitchen sponge! We think it’s the perfect piece for an entryway.

This poster might look like a screen print, but it’s actually a cut paper design. The colors are bright without looking garish. It’s the perfect piece for your kitchen.

7. Watercolor Chevron Wall Art:
While not made with watercolor paints, this canvas project definitely has a watercolor effect. The gold background is a nice touch as well.

These stenciled letters are a fun twist on typographic art. It would be a fun party game to let guests rearrange them and spell out messages.

9. Framed Scarf Wall Art:
Who says you can only frame paper goods? This framed silk scarf adds color pattern and texture to the room & you should pick a scarf that looks like a piece of art, like this one, and make sure to iron it before you hang it up. But you could also frame it.

10. Washi Tape Dot Wall Art:
Make your own polka dot wall decals with this simple tutorial. All it takes is a few rolls of your favorite washi tape.

 This is the perfect project for nursery. But depending on the pattern it could work in a child-free home as well.

16. Gold Leaf Map Wall Art:
What a fun idea to gold leaf a portion of this deconstructed map. This would make a great gift for travelers; you could gold leaf every country they’ve visited.
