30 Easy & Affordable DIY Home Decor Ideas

With a little creativity, your home decor can easily be transformed. We have gathered 30 ideas for simple projects that won't break the bank.

1. Tidy up

One of the quickest ways to improve your home decor is to clear out unwanted items and tidy up everything. Best of all, it won't cost you any money.

2. Accent wallpaper

You can change the look of a room by adding wallpaper just as an accent in a small area.

3. Bathroom shelving

Keep everything neat and make a feature in the bathroom with a shelf like the Nantucket Bathroom Wall Shelf.

4. Plants

Plants look beautiful and reduce stress and anxiety, creating a very relaxing atmosphere. This 4-tier Metal Plant Stand, for example, displays greenery beautifully.

5. Add storage

Adding extra storage, such as this Geo Pattern Wall Cabinet, will keep the house clear and improve the look of a room.

6. Freshen up the entrance

Make sure the entrance to your home is clean, clear, and tidy. Add a feature such as this Flamingo Welcome Mat and visitors will be immediately impressed by your home decor.

7. Add a personal touch

Add a personal touch to your decor with family photos in a frame, such as this 5-photo Family Wall Frame.

8. Lighting

You don’t have to splash out on an expensive electrical refit to add mood lighting. A Scrolling Candle Wall Sconce, for example, is an easy way to update the lighting.

9. Artwork

If your budget doesn’t allow for expensive artwork, just enlarge one of your own beach or landscape shots to frame.

10. Paint furniture

Liven up an old dresser or sideboard with a coat of paint to update the look.

11. Rustic features

Expose beams and treat them or whitewash them to give the room rustic charm.

12. Mirrors

Mirrors are used to accentuate light and space. A mirror such as this Golden Geometric Wall Mirror can add a sense of openness to any room.

13. Frames on shelves

Instead of hanging frames on the wall, lean them on a shelf to give the room a modern and relaxed feel.

14. Paint brickwork

Painting exposed brickwork instantly updates the look of the room.

15. One color

If you decorate the whole house in the same base color, it’s easier and cheaper when decorating and brings the whole house together.

16. Metal

Adding in even small metallic accents, such as this Rose Gold Candle Lantern, brings elegance to a room.

17. Mount the TV

Quickly and easily make your room look more streamlined by mounting your TV on the wall.

18. Soft furnishings

Layer throws and add soft cushions in a variety of fabrics and textures to create a warm and cozy feel.

19. Navy

A great neutral wall color that pairs well with other colors, Navy makes an instant impact in your room.

20. Contrast

Update a room without a complete overhaul by adding contrast. Add a vintage mirror, such as the Vintage Amelia Taupe Mirror, to a modern interior to immediately update the room.

21. Rugs

Cheaper than changing flooring, a rug can make a real statement in a room.

22. Group frames

Grouping small frames together on a wall creates the same impact you get from a much larger, more expensive piece.

23. Move furniture

Rearranging furniture instantly gives the room a makeover.

24. Couch position

If you can, position the couch underneath a large window to make a feature of the sunlight and the view.

25. Symmetry

Pairing items, such as side tables with lamps at either end of a couch, gives a room symmetry and looks visually pleasing.

26. Garden bowl

A bowl with succulents and cacti makes a fabulous centerpiece for a room.

27. Empty fireplace

Don’t leave an unused fireplace empty; filling it with logs will create a nice focal point for the room.

28. Open shelves

Colored crockery in the kitchen can be displayed on open shelves to provide colored accents in the room.

29. Sheer curtains

Sheer curtains are affordable and add a light and airy look to a room.

30. Think seasonal

Have a few key pieces that you can swap seasonally to give the room an update. This Twig Lights Snowman Statue, for example, would make any room feel festive.
