6 Simple & Affordable DIY Wall Decor Ideas

Meet my friend Rita Joy from Harbour Breeze Home. Today she will be sharing with us some very affordable DIY Wall Decor Ideas we can all benefit from.

It’s an absolute joy and honor to be guest posting  here on my friend Shirley’s blog today. I’m Rita Joy and I’m a home decor and lifestyle blogger at Harbour Breeze Home.

One of my very favorite things to do and share on my blog are thrifty DIY home decor projects.

After living in numerous “fixer upper” homes and experimenting with lots of ideas on a tight budget, I’ve learned that adding personality to our homes through decor doesn’t have to cost a lot.

Today, I want to show you six very affordable DIY Wall Decor Ideas that won’t break the bank and are simple to do, too.

Hang Some Simple DIY Wall Shelves

One thing I’ve learned since downsizing and moving into a smaller home is that shelves are one of my best friends.

They serve 3 purposes. They add interest to a boring wall, provide a place for pretty decor, AND are helpful for storage.

These Joanna Gaines inspired farmhouse style shelves were super easy to make! And these 10 foot long DIY floating shelves cost less than $20!


Other Frugal DIY Home Decor Ideas:

A quick and easy solution for an outdoor table is this DIY Wire Basket Outdoor Table I made for some porch sitting and sipping on my ice cold peach tea in the summer.

Use our easy trick when decorating for the holidays for an Easy Way To Hang Outside Window Wreaths.

It isn’t really that quick but it sure is easy to make Painted Pine Cones for decor like I did these in Spring colors. Then I displayed them in a Two Tier Tray as a tabletop centerpiece. 

We solved a side table problem in our living room by Turning A Stool Into A Side Table. Our sofa arms were up really high and a normal side table would’t work for us.

Storage space in my craft room became an issue so I made this DIY Framed Pegboard for wall storage and love how it turned out. That was several years ago and it is still helping me out now.

Create Gallery Wall Decor Using Free Printables

Free printable art prints are one of my favorite budget friendly decor tricks. Use your home printer to create frugal but expensive looking art for your wall decor.

For a cohesive end result that doesn’t look messy, use frames that are all in the same color tone. It will make the overall look seem cohesive even in the frames are different sizes.

If you’d like to get started using free printables, here is a resource with over 100 botanical printables in sets – perfect for a gallery wall!
