This post is all about how to transform your space with stylish & budget-friendly home decor ideas DIY.
Dreaming about the perfect Pinterest house is more common than you think, and most people do not like the hefty price tag that comes with having mentioned “Perfect Pinterest House.” If you are looking to refresh your home without breaking the bank, you’ve come to the right place!
You don’t need a massive budget to create a high-end space within your house. With a little creativity, Pinterest inspo, basic tools, and a trip to your local Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and thrift store you can create stunning decor for your home. So, roll up your sleeves, and let’s dive into these creative DIY projects that combine affordability with timeless style.
1. Elegant Gallery Wall
Nothing says “high-end” like a professional gallery wall. Instead of splurging on expensive art, create your custom pieces.
What You’ll Need:
- Pictures frames that you can buy either at Hobby Lobby (they always have miiiiiiillions of options available).
- Printable art from Etsy or Canva orrr family pictures in black & white.
- Spray paint to create uniform frame finishes (black, gold, or white) that you can buy from Home Depot.
DIY Tip: Once you have everything ready, grab all your new finished frames and arrange them first on the floor to decide on the layout you want. Then, use painter’s tape to map out the design on your wall before hanging them.
2. Mirrors, Mirrors, and Mirrors
You can either DIY the mirror yourself or buy a statement mirror something atypical you don’t see too often.
For option #1 what you’ll need:
- A plain round or rectangular mirror (look for cheap options in Walmart or Target).
- You’ll visit our best friend Amazon to buy tiny mirrors they come in different shapes and sizes.
- Hot glue gun (please be extra careful when using one).
If you decide to go with option #2, the best place to get a statement mirror is Hobby Lobby. Remember you are looking for something atypical, aim for a different shape frame, colors, etc.
3. Hand-Painted Vases
Thrifted or plain vases can be elevated with a modern makeover.
What You’ll Need:
- Vases (you can go to a thrift shop, Goodwill, or a Dollar Store).
- Paint, matte acrylic, or metallic, will depend of course on the style you are aiming to get.
- Pampas grass for the final touch.
DIY Tip: Neutral, earthy tones like taupe, beige, or terracotta will give a timeless, high-end feel.
