Starting in 2024, popular DIY minimalist styles are shifting towards maximalist home decor. Americans are gradually adopting bold colours, textures, and patterns. Here are some affordable DIY home projects you can work on. You can personalize your living space and tell a lot about your personality.

So, whether you are a seasoned crafter or a newbie, the following DIY home decorations are for everyone.

DIY (do it yourself) is a sharp trend that arose in the last two decades when people started having more free time due to flexible working hours. You can customize your living space to reflect your personality and lifestyle. They are also a reflection of your current lifestyle and hobbies.

For inspiration, you can use articles like this, magazines, Pinterest, or social media platforms—the sky is the limit.

Remember that these projects require a lot of focus and time. You might encounter pitfalls if you are not careful about the steps and instructions.

Why leave a blank wall in your living space? Picking up a brush and making your unique abstract painting is one way to fill it. Another way is to repaint it using more than one colour. Most of the time, it turns out great. Just make sure that you don't overdo it.

Another method to liven up your wall space is to hang some ornaments and decor elements.

Some recommended ornaments and décor elements are as follows:

Today, having a wall clock might not be practical, but for decor purposes, it can highlight your blank walls. Choose the clock design you love and hang it.

Hanging plants say a lot about your personality. Install some wall planters to fill in the space. Make sure the wall is dry.

Want something that is both functional and decorative? Mirrors can help. You may choose a giant mirror to cover the more significant part of the wall or get creative.

Other wall decor items you can use are wall sculptures, floating shelves, and woven wall hangings.

Forget your phone screen wall pagers; let's do your dull living room walls for a change. This DIY home decor project is easy, and the output is breathtaking.

Head to the nearby mart or market and purchase wallpaper with green scenery, art, or anything you like. You can also order them online, which gives you more choices and size flexibility.

Apply a decent adhesive gently on your wall or walls, stick the wallpapers, and enjoy an artistic environment.

Pro Tip: If your wall is damaged and you cannot afford to repair it, this method can hide it in plain sight. The best part is that it will look better than a repaired wall.

If you are one of the 9 to 5 people, you always see lighting at your home. Research shows that proper lighting brightens up your mood. Yellow or natural-coloured lights are comforting to your eyes.

You may also consider adding some trinket lights in your kitchen area or a chandelier in your dining.

Finally, if you have some budget, try replacing old lights and experience the delight of new and improved home decor.

Clutter and a lack of storage are two primary concerns in every American home. There isn't a week that goes by without decluttering your storage.

Fortunately, new and creative solutions can allow you to store more stuff in the same space, and it will all be organized.

We'll use old wooden crates to create new storage units. We understand they might look messy initially, but we'll fix that. Use grinding paper to polish the surfaces and add a touch of paint so they look decent.

You can stack or mount them in your room. Best of all, they will bring a rustic yet stylish feel to your living space.

The key to DIY storage projects is to be creative! You may also use old furniture or even discarded stuff.

A new look for your living space and other elements makes it look fresh. For instance, you may rearrange your furniture. Or the indoor plant arrangements.

Mixing and matching elements is always a good hobby, and your guests experience a new vibe.

For this DIY decoration project, you need a blank wall. You can start by hanging framed photos of you and your family.

We don't recommend using nails and threads. Instead, try adding frames using adhesive (two-sided) tape. This way, only the frames will be visible without any thread or nails. Also, your wall won't get any damage.

Next time, if you want to move or remove them, pull them down gently, add fresh tape, and you're good to go.

Try adding an oversized frame in the middle and a smaller one on the sides for the frame arrangements. You can follow a path or add them randomly; both layouts look great.
