Are you on a tight budget or just a careful spender with a creative streak? Either way, if spending moolah on expensive artwork isn’t your thing, then take inspiration from the following ideas to dress up your walls. Some of them double as neat cover-up jobs for unsightly wall stains or aid in creating an offbeat accent wall.
DIY 3D flower canvas
Get creative with colorful craft paper and fabrics and create your own 3D floral wall art. This unconventional method is also useful to hide any unsightly flaws without splurging on a paint job.
- Craft paper on walls
Create a cascading rainbow effect with origami craft papers.
We don’t suggest something as elaborate as this, but take a leaf out of this and create your linear visual pattern over a study table or a wall that urgently needs to be covered up.
- Create mandala designs with stones, pebbles or practically anything
It is interesting albeit unconventional, but marbles or colorful stones pieced together can create works of art. Channel your creativity to give shape to your very own mandala designs.
4. Knotted work of art
Nautical ropes shaped into an anchor and placed against a pale-blue or navy-blue wall will fit perfectly for a maritime-themed room.
5. Gilded cork art
Wine-bottle corks arranged in a frame and spray-painted in different shades of gold create an amazing piece of wall art. You can also get creative with other everyday items such as old coins.
6. Proudly display your children’s art
Why not assign a wall in the general areas of the house or your child’s bedroom to display their works of art?
7. Create your eclectic accent walls
Showcase your heirlooms, travel souvenirs or collection of local crafts on your walls. Create your own accent wall that displays your hobbies, interests and heritage.
8. Suspend fabrics or rugs to create wall hangings
This rug adds a burst of color, texture and vibrancy to the room and the thin vertical stripes tend to draw one’s attention to the height of the wall.
The bold orange fabric against this sombre exposed concrete wall looks like a statement piece.
