10 Easy Ways to Decorate Walls in Your Home.

There's no need to go out and drop a fortune to accessorize the walls in your home. With a tiny creativity, you can repurpose a variety of things in your house and have incredibly one-of-a-kind wall art without spending a dime.

Step 1 Make a giant faux frame on your wall by taping off a rectangular section and painting the space within. Hang pics of significance, a diploma or other memorable pieces within your frame. This is a great way to bring a sense of unity to a collection of multiple items.

Step 2 Hang those mismatched china plates and platters you seldom use on the wall. Attach a hook to the back of the plate and hang it on a wall hook using a colorful piece of ribbon tied in a bow.

Step 3 Paint the shiny sides of elderly CDs, then etch a design in to the paint to expose the iridescence underneath. Affix the CDs directly to the wall in a creative pattern or put strings through them and hang them in an asymmetrical fashion on the wall.

Step 4 Bring the beauty of nature right to your wall by lightly painting the backs of leaves, fern fronds and flowers and then pressing the images onto the wall. Fill a small wall with your designs or generate a one-of-a-kind border around the room.

Step 5 Generate a collage of elderly picture frames  on the wall by painting them all black and hanging them in a rectangular or square pattern. Fill them with pics you have stored away, elderly postcards or antique black-and-white photos.

Step 6 Use things from nature to adorn your walls, such as a piece of driftwood, a branch from your yard, dried flowers or shells.

Step 7 Gather up your elderly half-used cans of paint and stencil in a pattern around windows and doorways or other focal points on the wall.

Step 8 Cover elderly wood hangers with sheer strips of fabric or paint them in bright colors. Hang a dried bouquet of flowers, a vintage necktie or an elderly piece of costume jewelry from the hanger and then hang the piece from a wall hook.

Step 9 Display memorable pieces of clothing, such as a kimono from your trip to the Orient, your daughter's first dress or your wedding gloves.

Step 10 Hang elderly musical instruments from the wall along with some pieces of sheet music.

Get creative! anything around your house can become wall art if you put a tiny thought in to it.
