DIY Room Decor: How to Express Yourself Without Spending Too Much

Sometimes all we need is some change. As we grow older, we can’t have more of the same – we want to change our hair, our clothes, everything around us. Thinking about that, we selected some cool DIY (Do It Yourself) projects for you to redecorate the most significant place of the house: your room.

There are hundreds of cool ways to redecorate your room without spending much; here we have just a few tips for you to get inspired! You can use one of our examples or even create one yourself. Have you ever thought about that? Our room is the most personal place, is where we can be ourselves. Redecorate it to look a little more like ourselves is one of the most satisfying things: is like really going home.

Walls

The best way to start your redecoration is by the walls. After painting as you like, you can add some cool stuff on it to help you organize yourself or just for fun.

Our first example is this wood boxshelf

You can do the same thing using cardboard boxes (and of course, adequate materials to work with it). Or even cardboard tubes, as from the toilet paper, for example.

You can get that same wood box we first mentioned to use as a bookshelf, as this image shows.

What about combining wood shapes with pictures?

You can also find a way to tie the wire on the wall and use the same idea, but bigger.

Lighting

Another cool way to make your room a whole new place is to play with illumination. Here are some easy tips for you to do it.

There’s the glow in the dark pots (make sure to use gloves!)

You can have other shapes too! What about a pineapple?

Remember the fake flowers? How about mixing them with christmas lights?

You can even use a wine glass and a candle to do it!
