Green Kitchen Cabinet Inspiration + Best Green Paint Colors — Farmhouse Living

Green cabinets are a trend and I’m such a fan! I painted the cabinets in my previous home and I loved that the color felt neutral and bold all at the same time. From a lighter olive to deep green, the choices are endless and it’s hard to make a bad one with this nature-inspired tone.

Decorating ideas: 24 ways to create stylish and enduring designs

(Image credit: Future)

Well executed decorating ideas create a home with rooms that are functional as well as beautiful, meet the needs of everyone who lives there, and are individual and reflective of your personality.

Great interior design allows you to realize your home decor ideas, delivering when it comes to the practicalities, as well as aesthetically and in a way that caters to your tastes. And the best designs have durability, too, both in terms of style but also because they will stand up to the day to day demands on a room.

We’ve collected decorating tips and decorating ideas on a budget to inspire your own designs for rooms around your home here, along with expert guidance.

Decorating ideas

These decorating ideas cover everything from using the color wheel to create perfect color palettes to working with pattern – and even designing outdoor spaces. Follow our simple home ideas and formulas to get your home decor spot on first time.

1. Zone an open plan space with cabinetry

(Image credit: Isabella Worsley)

In an ample sized open-plan living room, designate a home office with custom carpentry.  Interior designer Isabella Worsley explains, “When creating an inbuilt desk area within joinery, it is important to take time to think about electrical requirements and to keep cabling discreet.   

‘In this home study area, we created a desk within bookcases; we positioned outlets at upper level for ease of access on the joinery side returns, as well as within the lower-level cupboards, to allow for a printer and kit that we wanted to keep out of view.’

2. Install a show-stopping chandelier

(Image credit: Studio Westmaas)

Boost style with living room chandelier ideas. A neutrally decorated room with warm natural textures in wool, jute and ceramic can be elevated with a multi-tiered cylindrical frosted glass ceiling light. Bring the room design together with seating in a similar cylinder shape, and accessorize with textured glass vases. 

3. Go for gloss

(Image credit: Mylands)

Paint finishes can have a dramatic effect. Paint a small home office all in one shade of gloss for a glamorous cocoon-like result and accessorize with burnished brass pieces for a rich luxurious effect. Add pattern by placing inspirational images and artworks on a small display shelf at eye level.

4. Play with pastels

(Image credit: K&H Design/ Photographer: Paul Raeside)

Small bathroom ideas can make a compact room super stylish. Treat a small white bathroom like a Memphis artwork by introducing block colors. Colored sanitary ware, painted woodwork and a checkerboard floor are playful ways to add character. Finish with a shower curtain that continues the color-blocking theme.

5. Embrace frills and florals

(Image credit: Dado Atelier)

Embrace pretty decoration. Team living room wallpaper ideas like this Indian block print style floral with a skirted accent chair. Prevent the scheme becoming twee by restricting your palette to neutrals and plaster pink. Bare floors and white woodwork ground and modernize a traditional chair and wallpaper.

6. Paint everything

(Image credit: Little Greene)

Don’t neglect circulation spaces when it comes to adding style and character with paint ideas. Try landing ideas that make it attention grabbing with different colors below and above dado level, and for doors. It’s a great way to bring a contemporary twist to an older home.

7. Make a bed in a nook

(Image credit: Barlow & Barlow)

If you need guest bedroom ideas for small spaces, a built-in cabin bed offers a sweet solution. Nook bed ideas can be positioned next to a window so your visitors can take advantage of the view, raised high to create storage space beneath and install a curtain to provide privacy.

8. Fall for geometric floors

(Image credit: Christopher Horwood/Christopher Farr])

Choose a rug with a graphic pattern to create a focal point in a pared back modern living room. Create harmony by teaming it with at least one piece of equally modernist furniture. Decorate with eclectic artwork and objects you love to create warmth against such cool designs. 

9. Decorate the ceiling

(Image credit: Maddux Creative)

Consider a patterned ceiling among your dining room ideas. Ceiling ideas like this are unexpected and create a talking point for dinner guests. This Maddux Creative designed room uses the repetition of rectangles in the ceiling throughout the room. 

Scott Maddux explains, ‘Symmetry in interior design is often the easier option to create in an interior scheme and often foolproof; it allows you to layer and build upon texturally or tonally.’

10. Use vintage prints outside

(Image credit: Birdie Fortescue)

Make an inviting area in the yard to relax on a vintage-inspired sun lounger. Interior designer Birdie Fortescue tells us how to dress it with cushions. ‘Pick fade-resistant fabrics if you can and don’t worry too much – slight fading adds to the charm,’ she says. ‘You could swap cushions in and out, too. Mix floral and geometric patterns to create a relaxed look.’

11. Get creative with color 

(Image credit: Future / Brent Darby)

It’s tempting to play it safe when it comes to injecting color into your home, but interiors that experiment with bold tones are often the most striking. The key is to do your research, make use of the color wheel, and test contrasting palettes out before decorating. 

‘Adding color to a room can instantly change both the look and feel,’ advises Michael Curtis Green, Mahout Lifestyle . 

‘Vibrant shades will create an uplifting, positive mood whereas cool hues and soft blushes will create a calming ambience. Always add a surprise, whether it’s a feature wall, a large rug or a bright couch; it’s a great way to create a focal point. 

‘If you’re mixing colorful patterns, use large with medium, or medium with small. Choose prints and patterns with one color in common for a scheme that feels coordinated.’

12. Display books 

(Image credit: Future)

Think book storage ideas for a cozy atmosphere. ‘You can spend a huge amount of time, money and effort on creating a beautifully designed space, but it’s not until you add books that it becomes a home. Stunning furniture and lighting and so on are all very well, but it is books that are essential to completing a project, and giving it character,’ says designer Michael Curtis Green .

Work to style a bookcase properly to create the best effect.

‘Start with key books and build around them. Try to develop a rhythm, so you might have lots of big books spread out across the shelves, punctuated with smaller ones in between. It’s not an exact science, but then I don’t like things to look too perfect.’

13. Let your fireplace take center stage

(Image credit: Future)

Fireplace ideas are always a central focus in a room. There’s nothing quite like a fire in the winter, when you’re tucked up under a cozy throw with the flames flickering from the fireplace. 

However, it’s not only the fire itself that can add a magical touch – the surround itself can be turned into a fabulous feature to show off. Dressing and accessorizing the space around the fireplace can be key to making  the best of it. 

A large fireplace, offset by a symmetrical arrangement of chairs and identical shelving either side, is a tried-and-tested classic, and makes an inviting setting to sit in front of.  

14. Add character to a rental property

(Image credit: Future / Davide Lovatti)

If you are a renter, there are plenty of ways to make your home your own. 

While significant changes such as structural improvements may not be an option, you can still enhance a property’s best features with a host of decorative touches from striking wall treatments to freestanding pieces.  

A good way of injecting new life is to paint the walls – if you plan to rent long-term, most landlords will permit a fresh colour scheme as long as you agree to revert to the original décor. 

But if that isn’t an option, look to enliven the walls by choosing art, bearing in mind that large-scale pieces look more generous. 

15. Enhance an entrance

(Image credit: Future / Paul Raeside)

Entryway ideas and hallway ideas are often overlooked, despite setting the decorative tone for the rest of your home. Think of your entry or hallway as a room in its own right and not just as an interim space.  

Once you’ve made the most of its natural features, consider how to personalize it from a decorative point of view. 

Though very dark colors can be tricky to incorporate, avoid the opposite approach, which can result in a bland finish. Instead choose a hue that harmonizes with the rest of your design and try highlighting the baseboards and door frames in a stronger shade for definition. 

Add texture with rugs and stair runner ideas, such as an unusual runner made of antique Persian rugs, or opt for a smart hardwearing covering such as a large bouclé sisal or herringbone jute.

16. Be bold with block color   

(Image credit: Future / Carolyn Barber)

Block colors can create sophisticated living room color schemes, adding interest and personality. It takes courage to create a look like this, but a confident approach pays dividends.   

The key is to contrast bright color with plenty of neutrals and natural tones to avoid an overwhelming look. But used carefully, a scheme like this can create a powerful style statement. 

The secret is to break up color with a neutral base, such as white, which really allows bright tones to pop. Stick to a maximum of  three colors, and try to introduce them creatively. Look for areas within your scheme that will allow a block color to really sing out,  such as a chimney, sliding panel, the back of a bookcase, or a door. 

17. Lay down a rug

(Image credit: Future / Paul Raeside)

Used for upholstery, wall hangings and soft furnishings, the characterful motifs and delicate shades of Persian carpets and kilims are an inventive starting point for richly textured schemes.   

The large-scale pattern of this floor rug makes a design statement, which is balanced by monochrome wallpaper for a harmonious overall effect. 

18. Style your space with stripes 

(Image credit: Future / Simon Brown)

From highly tailored pinstripes to bold and broad lines, the diversity and timelessness of decorating with stripes makes them suitable for every room of the house.  

According to Roselind Wilson, founder of Roselind Wilson Design : ‘Stripes bring order and structure to a space and have the ability to redirect the eye. When incorporated into an interior scheme, they inject a dose of understated elegance and sophistication.’ 

To prevent stripes overpowering a room, choose your color palette and then add pattern and accents of that palette in darker and lighter shades. 

If you feel hesitant about decorating with stripes, perhaps start with a small room or space in your home. Or as an introduction to bringing graphic pattern into your interior scheme, use a decorative element, such as a striped vase or striped pillows.

19. Decorate with white

(Image credit: Future / Michael Sinclair)

Decorating with white evokes purity and cleanliness alongside confidence and sophistication and it’s a wonderfully versatile color for interiors. 

‘Small accents of white are a stylish way to lift and freshen any color scheme,’ explains interior designer Katharine Pooley . ‘Accessories made from mother-of-pearl, white candles and white flowers will elevate the whole palette and draw the eye. 

According to Chrissie Rucker, founder of The White Company : ‘In a predominantly white home, texture is absolutely key. By using different weights and weaves of fabric, you can animate a room, adding depth, warmth and visual interest.’ 

Here, crisp white walls act as the perfect backdrop to display art and make the pieces sing out. Sticking to a smart monochrome palette will give added impact and the idea can be extended to set off other decorative elements, such as a collection of black and white ceramics. 

20. Put the focus on florals

(Image credit: Future / Katya De Grunwald)

From delicate blossom to big, showy blooms, floral room decor and flower motifs can add a new dimension to every interior. 

‘Flowers are an integral part of interior decoration and have been for centuries,’ says Gillian Newberry, director, Bennison Fabrics . ‘Floral textiles can furnish every room, as curtains, upholstery and wall coverings. They have a softening effect and also bring the garden indoors.’ 

Classic floral designs often have a symmetry that is particularly pleasing to the eye and a fine proportion that complements the arrangement of furniture in both traditional and contemporary schemes. The historical designs that tend to work best in modern interiors are those that have a lot of space between the motifs, giving an illusion of depth. 

Here, floor-length curtains and mismatched florals conjure up country cottage style. To prevent the scheme from looking dated, keep everything else simple. In this space, untreated floorboards and a roll-top bath create a modern rustic feel. 

21. Add wow factor with a window dressing 

(Image credit: Future / Carolyn Barber)

Whether you have a tricky bay window, an awkwardly shaped recess or a floor-to-ceiling wall of glass, there are a host of clever design solutions that will finish your scheme to perfection.  

‘I like window treatment ideas that create an informal, relaxed feel,’ says interior designer Adam Bray . ‘Instead of complicated or flamboyant styles, I prefer something simple and clean-looking made from high-quality fabric softened with hand-tied curtain headings.’ 

Curtains in plain silks or linens, carefully made and well finished, allow the beauty of the fabric and the architecture of the room to shine. 

Blinds work well in settings where curtains would be unsuitable or impossible to fit, perhaps due to the complex architecture around a window. 

Flat-panel sheers are useful for privacy, and blinds for protecting furniture and curtain linings from sun damage. Beautifully tailored curtains, however, are best for adding balance and completing the design of a well-dressed room.

22. Hang a mirror 

(Image credit: Future / Damian Russell)

Decorating with mirrors can add instant glamor and interest, while maximizing light and boosting the sense of space.  

‘Placing mirrors near light sources will brighten your space and maximize the reach of the light,’ explains Astrid Limal, founder, Perch & Parrow . 

‘To create an extra light source in a room, try placing a full-length mirror between two windows. Alternatively, reflect daylight and your garden in your home by positioning a large mirror opposite a window.’ 

According to Rupert Bevan , ‘Heavily antiqued mirror is currently on trend. It will utterly transform a room and bring real drama to any space.

There are many mirror finishes you can experiment with, including antiqued, mottled, sand-blasted, etched, glided, hand-decorated and églomisé. Bevelled, hand-blown and cut glass are also available.’

23. Build a stylish study space

(Image credit: Future / Jan Baldwin)

Whether it’s a fully fledged home office or a dedicated corner of a room, ensure your work area is as inspiring as it is functional. 

‘It is best to situate your work zone where there’s plenty of natural light, although task lighting can always be incorporated into a design,’ advises interior designer, Emma Sims-Hilditch . ‘Practical features, such as power and data outlets, will need to be considered. Always opt for more outlets than you think you’ll need and include a charger drawer with power built in for your cell phone and tablet.’

She goes on to say: ‘I like to keep the colors calm in a home office to promote a good working environment. Try combining florals with fresh, white paint to give the room a crisp, uplifting feel.’ 

‘Make sure your desk is the right height (around 27in (70cm) is perfect) and that the screen isn’t facing a window, so you are not dazzled by daylight. The room should also be warm – underfloor heating is more practical than radiators if space is tight.’ 

24. Set up an outdoor room

(Image credit: Future / Mark Bolton)

From canopied seating areas to bespoke banquettes, ensure that the garden becomes a true extension of the home with stylish outdoor living room ideas. 

‘The key to making an outdoor space an extension of the home is to continue elements of the interior scheme outside,’ says Charlotte Rowe, design director of Charlotte Rowe Garden Design . ‘This can be done with materials, such as stone flooring, or by bringing the color palette into the garden.’ 

Small backyard ideas lend themselves particularly well to creating an outdoor room, as they have a feeling of intimacy. Designing a room within a larger space requires some form of portioning in order to delineate the space and give it a sense of coziness. ‘I prefer to do this using “green architecture” such as trees, hedging, shrubs or plant pots,’ explains Charlotte.

How can I decorate my house cheaply? 

There are many ways to redecorate your home on a budget. For example, flea markets, auction houses and second-hand boutiques often stock well-loved, good quality pieces for affordable prices. 

If hiring an interior designer is out of your price range, then make the most of readily available resources, such as Homes & Gardens as well as Pinterest and Instagram for inspiration. 

How do I know my decorating style?

‘One of the staples of interior design is to create a truly timeless interior, and to do this you must make sure that you choose pieces for your home that you genuinely love,’ advises Emma Sims-Hilditch.  

‘Inspiration can be found in a variety of places, and the chances are you have already accumulated furniture, artwork and furnishings that you have a particular affinity with. These are a great starting point, and you can use the array of beautiful imagery on Instagram and Pinterest for inspiration on how to progress these ideas into a design scheme for a room.

Once you have identified a theme that speaks to you, you can start to choose the fabrics, wallcoverings and soft furnishings for your interior. Start by ordering samples and laying them out on the floor or kitchen table so you can see them next to each other. This will give you a good visual confirmation as to whether you want to go ahead and order these items.’

21 Ideas For Decorating With Pinecones

Looking for some easy fall decor? Here are 21 ideas for decorating with pinecones for your fall and Christmas decor (and they are free).

There is so much more to a simple pinecone than meets the eye:

1. Did you know you can spell it pinecone and pine cone? Take your pick.

2. Pinecones close when it rains. They open and close like window blinds.

(total aside: am I the only one who didn’t know this?)

3. The seeds of a pine tree are inside a pinecone. It’s the pinecone’s job to keep those seeds safe. That’s why they are prickly.

4. Pinecones and pine trees belong to a group of plants called gymnosperms that date back to prehistoric times.

5. You can bleach pinecones and turn them white.

6. Some pinecones stay on a pine tree for more than 10 years before dropping to the ground.

7. You can make cinnamon pinecones that smell amazing and scent the entire house.

And you know what else?

Pinecones make the best decorating accessory for fall. When I made these DIY wood slice branches and decorated the kitchen island with pinecones, I started thinking about all the ways I’ve decorated with pinecones over the years. So I did a little research and dug into the Thistlewood archives and found almost two dozen pinecone decor ideas.

Who knew I was so all about pinecones?

So, in no particular order, here are 21 ideas for decorating with pinecones.

21 ideas for decorating with pinecones

1. Add pinecones to a wreath

This is one of the easiest ways to decorate with pine cones.

Take a basic wreath with greenery.

Then simply wire in pinecones onto the wreath base.

You can see all my favorite fall wreaths here.

2. Make a wreath from pinecones

Take your pinecone wreath to the next level with a wreath constructed entirely of pinecones.

You can use mini pinecones or regular pinecones.

See the DIY instructions here.

Also found the cutest version here if you don’t want to DIY.

(total aside: you can also glue pinecones onto a cone and make a tree, too).

3. Add pinecones to a bookcase

This is such an easy way to decorate for winter.

Here, I just took pinecones and tucked them into the bookcase in the family room.

They add a layer of winter texture in minutes.

4. Decorate a coffee table with a pinecone-filled dough bowl

In the family room, I filled the dough bowl with rusty jingle bells and pinecones.

There is nothing better than a rusty jingle bell.

You can see the rusty jingle bells here.

5. Add pinecones to a toolbox to create a centerpiece

Here I took a vintage toolbox and just filled it and decorated it with pinecones.

Make sure to turn them different directions in the toolbox.

Then add a sprig of cedar at each place setting.

6. Add a ribbon and a banner

This is a garden armillary I had out on the porch.

I added a sprig of cedar and a noel banner to the pinecone and tied it onto the armillary.

You could print any message (“joy” “peace” “winter” “fall”) for the holiday season instead of Noel.

7. Glue pinecones onto branches

Here’s another idea for fall decorating with pinecones that you can combine with acorns, too.

Create art with branches from the yard.

You can see how I DIY’d them here.

8. Add pinecones to mini drawers

I’ve added so many different things to these drawers.

Nests for spring.

Trees for Christmas.

And now?

Pinecones for fall.

9. Add to a mantel with hydrangea and cedar

This mantel is comprised of layers of different types of greenery.

Next, add in pinecones for texture.

Then add in dried hydrangeas and layer in burlap ribbon.

10. Fill a small bowl with mini pinecones

Easiest pinecone decorating ideas ever.

Take mini pinecones and fill a bowl.

I used a carved-out wooden bowl and then scattered a few mini pinecones next to the bowl on the table.

You can see a super similar bowl here.

11. Mix it up with garland and greenery stems on a mantel

Here’s a simpler mantel idea for winter.

Start with these battery-operated candles (there’s a $2.00 off coupon right now).

12. Make a snowflake from pinecones

This simple DIY snowflake is made with mini pinecones.

I used a vintage barn door for the backdrop.

You can see the DIY here.

If you don’t have mini pinecones you can order them here.

13. Decorate with a pinecone garland

Add a pinecone garland to your winter decorating.

Drape it on a mantel. Add it to a centerpiece. Put it on the front of a hutch. Layer it over a door.

You can find the cutest pinecone garland here.

14. Add a pinecone under a cloche

Everything looks cuter under a cloche.

Including a pinecone.

Stack a set of white plates and add a pinecone to the center.

Here’s the cutest metal and glass cloche.

15. Fill a vintage truck with pinecones

This is where the entire pinecone decorating post started.

I had this truck on my kitchen island filled with ornaments. Now it’s filled with pinecones. I found a similar truck that’s a little less rusty.

Find an unusual container and fill it with pinecones.

Also—you can see how to make those DIY wood slice branches here.

16. Make a wreath out of greenery with mini pinecones

Here’s a simple way to decorate with pinecones. Make a wreath out of wired pine garland.

Twist and make a circle.

I found this super similar garland that would make two wreaths.

17. Add pinecones to the bottom of a vintage chalkboard

I decorated the chalkboard in the kitchen for winter.

All I did was add a layer of pinecones to the base.

This would be a cute look for a window sill, too.

90,000 ideas, crafts. How to decorate a room: curtains

DIY room decoration: ideas, crafts. How to decorate a room: curtains

Is a holiday coming up soon? Then it’s time to think about how to decorate the room with your own hands. You can buy decor in the store, or you can create it yourself. To make your party more interesting, come up with a theme for it in advance. In accordance with your idea, it is worth choosing the decor of the room. And don’t forget to warn guests to come in costume.

Balloons

Don’t know how to decorate a room with your own hands? The easiest way to decorate a room is to fill it with balloons. In order not to overwork yourself, you can order ready-made balloons inflated with helium. Build fountains out of them. How? Tie the ropes of the balls so that the balls rise up the ladder, one after the other. And now an ordinary balloon filled with water should be tied to the ribbons. To make the bottom of the “fountain” prettier, decorate it with three or four balls tied together. If you don’t like the idea of ​​such decor, then you can decorate the ceiling. To do this, scatter balloons around the room. You can tie paper hearts, cranes or something like that to the ribbons.

Do-it-yourself teenager if there are no helium balloons? In this case, you can decorate the room with ordinary balls. Inflate them with the kids and attach them to the wall using tape or safety pins. You can scatter the balls on the floor or attach them around the perimeter of the room. Are you still not satisfied with the appearance of the room? Then arm yourself with a marker and start drawing. Give each ball a personality. You can draw funny faces or write pleasant wishes.

Flags

Deciding how to decorate your room with your own hands? Make flags. Such bright streamers will instantly transform even the most gray room. How can you make such a decor? First you need to come up with the shape of the flags. These can be rectangles, squares, or rectangles, one edge of which is cut in a zigzag. Now you need to create a lot of these blanks. It is advisable to cut the flags from double-sided colored paper. The next step is to find interesting pictures. If your child collects candy wrappers, consider yourself lucky. Cut out pictures from them and stick them on the flags. And if there were no candy wrappers at hand? Then you have to print small images from the Internet. Well, even if this is not possible, then arm yourself with pencils and start drawing. By the way, even a child can be entrusted with such work. When all the blanks are made, you should take a thick simple thread and sew the flags, stringing them on it. It remains to find a place for the resulting product. Such streamers can be hung along one wall or diagonally across the room.

If you don’t want to overwork yourself, you can buy blanks in the store, and then you only have to put all the parts together. Purchase multi-colored flag blanks and voluminous stickers with suitable patterns. Such a stretch can be made with the child.

Attention to detail

What do you need to decorate the room for the birth of a child with your own hands? You should not only hang up the festive paraphernalia, but also pay attention to the little things, because in the end it is they who create the mood. So how to decorate a room with your own hands? You can see a photo of one of the options above. What advice can you give:

1. Choose one color scheme. A room that is beautifully decorated will look good, but none of the elements fall out. To achieve this result, you need to observe one color scheme. If you want to somehow dilute the decor, play on the nuance, not on the contrast.
2. Decide where the visual center will be. In any work of art, one of the parts must attract attention. If the eye runs around the room and does not cling to anything, then the room is poorly decorated. Most often, it is customary to make a table as the compositional center.
3. Jewelery must not restrict movement. If you hang flags or streamers too low, it will be difficult for guests to walk and, as a result, they will feel uncomfortable. To prevent this, put utility above beauty. For example, you do not need to decorate forks and spoons if you plan to feed guests.
4. Think through everything at once. Creating decorative elements in the process of decorating a room is not a good idea. First, come up with a sketch and draw it. In the head, an imaginary picture can be very different from the one that will turn out in the end.

And, of course, in it you will feel comfort and harmony with yourself. Do not be afraid to create decor elements yourself. It’s not as difficult as it seems!

The art of decoupage

It used to be called simply “handicrafts”, now this activity has acquired the fashionable name “decoupage”. Decoupage is cutting out pictures printed in a printing house on various objects and then opening them with varnish. A real craftswoman can perform crafts in such a way that they cannot be distinguished from skillful painting. Decoupage in the interior is applicable to any room of the house. If you break down the creation of crafts into stages, it turns out that everything is very simple:

1. Choice of motive. Usually, special decoupage napkins are used for this.
2. Clipping images.
3. Preparing the base (the base can be glass, fabric, wood, ceramic objects).
4. Pasting cutout.
5. Opening with varnish.

Using this technique, you can create absolutely any thing for your home. When you master the basics of decoupage, decorative boards will settle in your kitchen, unusual boxes in the bedroom, and original hangers in the hallway.
Decoupage in the interior is stylish, fashionable and exciting!

Stylish cushions

DIY interior decoration can make any room individual and stylish. Pillows are such unobtrusive decorative elements that will fit into the bedroom, living room and even the kitchen. There are ideas for decorating pillows for every taste. Here are just a few:

1. Try making cushions for your home out of an old sweater. Such crafts will look very cozy and at home. You can look for an old textured sweater in your mezzanine, and if you don’t find it there, try to go through second-hand shops (believe me, creating an original craft is worth it). Right on the sweater, you need to make a pillowcase pattern that will “sit down” on your pillow. When the pattern is ready, sew the sweater like a regular pillowcase.
2. If your ideas involve creating a European interior for your home, buy stamps in the form of letters in a needlewomen store. With the help of these stamps and fabric paint, you can create original and stylish pillowcases. In addition, ready-made crafts can be additionally decorated with lace and unusual buttons.

Decorating windows

A window is the most important part of any room. Through it we look at the world, it is the main source of natural light. Decorative interior design is impossible without a harmonious window decoration. Jewelry ideas can be varied. We suggest you decorate it in two ways: create interesting curtains and an unusual garland.

In order to create eco-friendly and exclusive curtains on your own, you will need linen, cellophane, fabric paints, a flat brush, scissors, adhesive tape. You can sew curtains yourself, or you can buy ready-made plain linen curtains in the store and decorate them. To do this, you need to cut a stencil out of cellophane (if you don’t know how to draw, it doesn’t matter, find a picture on the Internet and transfer it to cellophane), glue the stencil to the fabric with tape and apply the pattern. When the curtains are dry, treat them as directed on the paint package.

In addition to curtains, you can also make flower garlands. Such crafts will require pieces of multi-colored felt, satin ribbons, paper, a pen, scissors and glue from you. From felt, cut out flowers of different sizes and fasten them in piles together. Glue the resulting multi-level flowers onto ribbons (it is better to take ribbons of different lengths). Ready garlands can be attached directly to the eaves.

We decorate furniture

If you are tired of the old standard furniture, you can easily decorate it. In fact, decorating furniture is much easier than it seems at first glance. In order to realize your ideas, you only need a few types of multi-colored adhesive tape and scissors. Everything else can be done by your imagination!

For those who decide to decorate furniture in this way, there is one piece of advice – play with contrasts! Combine black with white or red, blue with yellow, purple with pink. Imagine a color wheel and take colors that are opposite each other. Don’t come up with overly complex ideas. For example, a pattern of geometric shapes will always be in fashion. You can decorate anything at home with colored adhesive tapes: a chest of drawers, an old wardrobe, a refrigerator, cabinets and stools.

Decor from old jeans

Denim crafts are always in fashion. You can do them yourself, and even better, involve your children in their implementation. Kids will be very interested in participating in the process of decorating their room. Everyone has old jeans, denim jackets and shirts at home. These are the items of clothing that we buy all the time. When your favorite jeans get frayed, don’t throw them away, give them new life!

Many things can be made from jeans. If there is enough fabric, create small sofa cushions. If it is smaller, you can sew small toys for babies, needle pads, potholders for the kitchen. If you show creativity and turn on your imagination, old jeans will turn into fairy-tale heroes and charming animals that will not leave anyone indifferent.

Vases and baskets

Do-it-yourself decoration of a room very often includes the use of all kinds of artificial flowers, feathers, branches. But where to store all this beauty? You can make small vases and baskets yourself. Below are simple ideas that will help you quickly and easily decorate your room.

To create an unusual vase, you will need a long and strong cotton rope, glue, glue gun, large needle, colorful neon threads. Lubricate one end of the rope with glue and wrap it so that you get a small tight ring. Apply glue again to the outer part of the ring and attach the next coil of rope to it. When the bottom of your vase is 11-12 cm in diameter, start working your way up, creating walls for the vase. Once the vase is in the desired shape, secure the end of the rope with a glue gun. You can decorate a vase with a needle and neon threads.

To make a basket, take long sheets of thick paper (such as wrapping paper), glue, paper clips and prepare a sewing machine. First of all, make paper strips 3 cm wide. To do this, fold the paper several times and sew on a typewriter. Weave the strips in such a way that you get a kind of cross. Don’t forget to secure everything you do with glue. Carefully assemble the basket so as not to make mistakes, use paper clips. As soon as the basket is ready, remove the paper clips and glue the product.

If artificial flowers (shop-bought or homemade) work best for the vase, you can fill the basket with something unusual, such as balls of yarn. In addition, such baskets will become convenient and aesthetic places for storing things for needlework.

Vinyl stickers

If you don’t know how to draw, cutting is not for you, you consider handicrafts as a child’s activity, but you still want to decorate a room at home, try using vinyl stickers. Thanks to the widest range of such stickers, they can be chosen for any home. Their advantage is that they stick to any surface, and are also easily removed.

When it comes to children’s room, decorating it with vinyl stickers is a must! For girls, choose stickers with castles, princesses and Disney cartoon characters, and for boys, enjoy cars and dinosaurs. If you make the vinyl stickers match the furniture (for example, “put” the cat on the dresser) – it will look especially impressive.

Simple Ideas

The simplest DIY home decorating ideas are the use of finished products. Pictures, photographs and posters that can not only be hung on the walls, but also placed on the shelves are great decor elements. In addition to standard paintings painted in gouache, watercolor or oil, modern leather paintings or panels made of non-standard materials are well suited for the home.

In order for a painting or photograph to best fit into the overall concept of the room, it is necessary to choose the right frame for it. The ideal solution would be to create such a frame yourself. Ideas for creating frames can be anything, as an option, you can apply all the same decoupage technique.

how to decorate the bedroom for the New Year

The New Year is just around the corner. And so that the wait is not tedious, you can already create a festive mood in the house. Most often, only the living room gets New Year’s decor, and the hands do not reach the bedroom. It’s time to change traditions and transform the room so that the magical atmosphere pleases from the very morning.

Accent Colors

Temporarily change your bedroom from everyday tones to traditional Christmas green, red, gold and white. They symbolize the attributes of the holiday: green spruce, hot fire and snow-white snowdrifts. If you want something special, choose a combination of blue and white, gray and silver to match the eastern patron of the upcoming 2021 – a white metal bull. And try to stick to the chosen palette in everything: whether it be candles, jewelry, textiles or garlands. Accessories should support the overall interior picture.

Christmas textiles

Bed linen is also changed according to the new concept. Fortunately, the choice of thematic textiles is not a problem now, and ordering a set in the right shades will not be difficult. The main thing is to take care of creating a special atmosphere in advance.

Soft decor

Throw pillows with a festive pattern in the form of deer, snowflakes, Santa Claus, or made in traditional Christmas ornaments will help emphasize a special festive atmosphere. Such pillows can be ordered in the store, or you can make it yourself, turning the task into a fun family circle “Skillful Hands”.

Fairy tale above your head

If you have a high headboard, you can use it as a field for New Year’s creativity. Decorate the back with coniferous wreaths and cones, garlands, snowflakes, Christmas tinsel and sweets. Soft toys can be hung over the back of the children’s bed.

Christmas lamps and luminaires

Lamps in thematic design will fit perfectly into the festive atmosphere. Reindeer, a cozy house, Christmas trees or a snowman – every evening they will create a magical performance, illuminating your bedroom with soft light. Children are especially happy with such lamps.

Candles and LEDs

When decorating your bedroom and thinking about lighting, do not forget about candles. Decorated with ribbons, twigs or beads, they decorate the bedroom during the day and fill it with a romantic atmosphere at night. You can use both paraffin candles and LED candles.

Garlands and lanterns

Garlands are perhaps the most magical and eye-catching Christmas accessory. Their blinking can hypnotize or, conversely, energize. Don’t just decorate the Christmas tree. Place flashlights on windows, walls, curtains, mirrors. Garlands in the form of a net, threads, fringe, clothespins, snowballs, balls of thread and other shapes will allow you to decorate the room creatively.

Window theater

You can paint glass with a chalk marker or gouache. If drawing is not your forte, use stencils or ready-made applications. Paper figures look cozy on the window: snowflakes, angels or silhouettes of houses. Garlands and Christmas balls are also a win-win option. The window sill can be decorated with compositions of candles, spruce branches, citrus fruits, apples and cones.

Curtains and curtains

Finished the windows, now we can work on the curtains. The easiest way is to decorate them with electric garlands, Christmas tinsel, rain, paper snowflakes, bows, stars and balls. Balls are better to take unbreakable, plastic. And don’t forget the tiebacks on the curtains: there is the right place for bells, cones, Santa Claus figurines and other beautiful options.

Ribbon toys

Ribbons always look festive. With their help, you can hang Christmas toys, New Year’s figurines and candies. You can take one-color ribbons, or you can add variety using laces, plaits, braid of different widths and colors. But do not forget about the overall range of the bedroom you have chosen.

Mini Version

Put a New Year’s beauty stand-in in your bedroom – a small Christmas tree or an arrangement of fir branches, decorated with toys and tinsel. You can place it on a bedside table or on a windowsill.

Christmas tree variation

If you want something more original than spruce branches in a vase, you can create a non-standard composition: put the silhouette of a Christmas tree on the wall using garlands, tinsel and toys. Or collect from improvised materials – balls, books, slats. Even a three-legged tripod will do: hang beads and lanterns on it.

Imitation fireplace

Not everyone can boast of having a real fireplace. Therefore, for the holiday, you can assemble a decorative false fireplace from cardboard boxes. And decorate to your liking: needles, candles, toys and LEDs. You can put gifts near the fireplace.

Gift socks

This Christmas accessory has appeared in our homes not so long ago, but many have already fallen in love with it. Adults like how stylish and festive it looks in the interior, and children love it for its “magic”, because they find their gifts in them. Christmas socks are easy to make with your children.

Natural materials

How to Decorate a Room for Halloween

When preparing for a party, always keep the kids in mind and don’t create too much of a scary atmosphere at home. But even if there will be no small children at the party, it is still worth giving the holiday a slightly frivolous character. Black humor is not a scary horror movie, but a parody of it. Therefore, when creating a mystical-terrible environment in a room, always adhere to certain rules.

1. The combination of red, white and black colors is a classic of the Halloween genre. But it makes sense to dilute them with autumn colors to diversify the palette. Add natural browns, grays, or vibrant oranges and yellows to the three primary colors. Of course, not all at once, but only a couple to dilute the gloom of the “vampire lair” or “witch’s hut”.
2. Lighting should be “twilight”, subdued. To do this, use night lights, candles or Christmas tree garlands that need to be arranged and hung in different places in the room. It is better to draw the curtains tightly so that there is a feeling of a closed space – like in a crypt.
3. The decor of the room should match the theme of the party. These are cobwebs made of ropes in the corners, and a pumpkin jack-o-lantern, and skeletons with a noose around their necks hung on the walls. We’ll talk more about the attributes of the holiday and how to make them yourself below.
4. The music should be dark and mysterious. For example, the sound of an organ or soundtracks from horror films.
5. Well, the dishes on the table should look respectively “terrible” and “nasty” in appearance.

Ideas for decor and how to decorate your house for Halloween

Witchcraft, mysticism, ghosts, vampires – this is the main theme of decor for a Halloween party. But in order to start doing something to decorate a room, you first need to think over a theme. Do not lump together all the ideas that come to mind. Let it be just a few mystical attributes, but which will fit perfectly into the design.

Come up with a theme and stick to it. For example, decorate a room in the form of a dead man’s crypt, or in the form of a vampire’s castle, or a mysterious hut in the forest. Once a solution is found, it will be easier to decide on the scenery. Check out the video for some cool Halloween room decor ideas.

Pumpkin decor ideas

Most often on this day, houses and rooms in apartments are decorated with a pumpkin jack-o-lantern.

Of course, not everyone can get a real pumpkin, and even more so carve a fearful Jack-o’-lantern face out of it. But there is always an alternative to make such an attribute from improvised materials. Here are some options.

• Take a simple barrel-shaped jar with a screw cap and paint it orange or yellow. Draw Jack’s face in black paint or apply it using a stencil. Paint the lid black or green. Place a candle in a jar – you get an impromptu lantern. It’s also a good idea to connect several of these jars by illuminating them with a garland.
• It is easy to sew a pumpkin out of orange and yellow material and stuff it with padding polyester, and on it make an appliqué of black material in the form of a scary face.
• Another option – Jack’s face is drawn on an orange balloon. It is pumped up with helium and tied to the door handle or simply released to float freely under the ceiling.
• Pumpkin jack is easy to make by printing out a regular pumpkin template, finding it on the Internet, and then laying out an application of pumpkin seeds painted in orange and black on it. Hang this decor on the wall or on the door.
• Jack-o’-lantern candy will please children. Just change the lollipop’s signature wrapper for an orange-green colored paper “shirt” and draw Jack’s face on them with a marker.
• Packing a pumpkin for a whole mountain of sweets is also a great option for a party. It is easy to make from corrugated paper or orange felt. As an option – a pinata in the form of a Jack-o-lantern, suspended from the ceiling.

If you still managed to get a real pumpkin, then it is not necessary to turn it into a lantern. It will be enough just to draw a scary face on a vegetable.

Gauze and Fabric for Ghosts and Webs

Another very simple Halloween decor is easy to make with medical gauze or other transparent material.

1. To make a “spider web”, a sheet of gauze is stretched in several layers in the corners or in an arched opening, and then holes and a fringe are made in it with scissors. If desired, place the same “web” on the dining table and on the curtains. Place spiders and bats cut out of black paper on the fabric.
2. Ghosts flying around the house are easy to make with helium-filled balloons and gauze. Gauze is glued to the ball and the “face” of the cast is painted on it with black paint. The “head” of the ghost is formed with twine or transparent braid. Do not forget to make a fringe on the hanging part of the canvas.
3. Casting is easy to do if the house has a floor lamp or table lamp. Just throw a transparent white cloth over it with a painted mouth and eyes. At the same time, such a ghost will also serve to mysteriously illuminate the room.

Balloons are the cheapest decoration option

Balloons are another very simple way to decorate the interior for a mystery party. You just need to buy a lot of balls of black, white, orange and red and paint them with a marker (well, or apply stencil drawings on them with gouache). Images reflecting the theme of the party will be: bats, witches on a broomstick, pumpkins, ghosts, skulls.

Or, as an option, just paint the balloons with different scary faces like a Jack-o-lantern, ghosts or vampires.

Head in a jar

It is better not to make such a terrible decor if there are small children in the house. But on its own, it will look like a great Halloween decoration. Find on the Internet and print on glossy paper a large photograph of the head. Then roll up the photo and place it in a jar (3 liter capacity) filled with water. Water will enlarge the image and add volume, so it will seem that the head is real and very scary.

Spooky Garlands

Garlands can be vertical or horizontal. They are most often made from colored double-sided paper or cardboard, but sometimes from other materials – small plastic bottles, ping-pong balls, dried flowers, fabric or purchased rubber toys (spiders, bats).

The figures in the garland can be the same, for example, only ghosts or only bats. But sometimes they are formed together, alternating with bulbs from a Christmas tree garland and among themselves.

A garland with “cocoons” and spiders will look original. To get a cocoon, you need to wind dense white threads on inflated (but not very) balloons and glue them with glue. The structure is left to dry for several hours, and then the balls are removed, and the “cocoons” themselves are hung either on a thread at different levels or attached to the ceiling. Spiders are cut out of black cardboard and glued to the cocoon.

Garland bats are easy to make from a black dyed toilet paper tube. Draw eyes and fangs with white paints. Cut out wings and legs from black cardboard and glue to the body.

Halloween art decor

Even if you can’t draw, you can do quite well with an unusual but simple art decor for a “scary” party.

1. Bloody prints on glass or doors are easy to make by painting gouache on the palm of your hand and applying it to a smooth surface.
2. It is also very easy to draw ghosts in the window, because they are only a contour. You will need white or black paint and a pattern on a landscape sheet or whatman paper, which will be easy to circle with a marker on glass.
