6 Simple & Affordable DIY Wall Decor Ideas
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.
Wall shelves serve 3 purposes
- They add interest to a boring wall
- Provide a place for pretty decor
- 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!
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!
