You don’t need a lot of money to make your apartment comfortable. You need to show a little imagination, purchase available tools and materials. Pleasant trinkets will decorate the room and make the house stylish and cozy.
Curtain edging
Even old curtains that have become boring can be updated by attaching a new edging. If desired, it is easy to glue or sew a ribbon with pompoms or sew on a edging with patterns. Particularly popular are patterns with Greek motifs, geometry or small flowers.
Tapes instead of clips
You can update outdated alligator clips in the kitchen, hallway or living room using tapes. It is better to choose them in contrast: red or green satin goes well with white. The length of the ribbons is measured so that the bottom edge of the curtain does not touch the floor. You can tie a ribbon on top with a bow, stitch it, or decorate the textile with stones or pearls. Windows updated in this way look original, fresh and airy.
Painted flower pots
Handmade items add style and unique flair to the room. It's easy to complement window openings with a variety of painted pots. To cover the pots, it is better to use acrylic paints; to apply the design, take templates, a thin and thick brush and colorless varnish. A more budget-friendly option is to apply drawings using a black or colored marker.
Lamp
Soft diffused light from a floor lamp or lamp fills the room with comfort and warmth.Lamps can be in the loft style - angular and restrained, or in the Provence style - decorated with twigs or thick twine. It is recommended to use several types of lighting for the living room, combining built-in spotlights, lamps or a floor lamp.
DIY watch
An original wall clock can become not only a convenient thing, but also a stylish accessory in any room. You can make a clock yourself. For the dial it is customary to use wood, plastic, panels made of threads or beads. The clock in the form of a school board also looks original.
Fabric wallpaper on the door
Fabric wallpaper with a bright and contrasting print in combination with corn glue will decorate a painted door. This coating is easy to tear off if you get tired of the pattern. This technique is also suitable if the family has small children who dirty the walls and doors with drawings.
Original stone rug
You can make a bedside rug or carpet in the living room with your own hands. To do this, you need to make a base from cardboard of the required width, length and shape. Apply cleaned round decorative stones to hot glue. They need to be laid tightly one to the other. Smaller specimens should be placed between the pebbles. If desired, the rug can be covered with bright colors or colorless varnish. It is also easy to make a soft mat from cork halves. It dries quickly, retains heat well and is comfortable to step on with bare feet.
Panel
An original and inexpensive idea is to hang a bright panel on the wall. Old postcards, wine corks, and dried flowers are suitable for this work.On such panels you can pin up personal photographs, create a mood screen or a vision board. It is also convenient to organize photo exhibitions.
Paintings
Bright and catchy paintings are a pleasant accent that gives the room its own character. The paintings can depict a landscape, portrait, photo or any other motif. You need to hang pictures according to the scheme so that the walls do not become overloaded. Also, paintings can be dynamic: modular samples usually consist of 3-5 parts.
Natural flowers
It is strictly not recommended to use artificial flowers in decoration: they look cheap and spoil the interior. It is better to place fresh flowers without a strong smell. Flower varieties can be mixed, a vase, an old teapot, a large mug, or a jar can be used as a stand.
Minor trinkets, wisely placed in the rooms, will make the house feel cozy, fill the rooms with warmth, and give the home its own style.
