There are
lots of great ideas that you can include for your DIY room
decor project. Although most people view DIY as complicated or difficult,
it can actually be fun and interesting, and you can get unique and cool stuff
without spending a fortune. The great thing about DIY teenage room decor is
that no one will have stuff like yours, so you can be sure that
your artwork is the one and only. If you are into arts and
crafts and you want to show off your personal style, this is the kind of work
that suits you the best.
You don’t
have to start with complicated projects. If you want to use old or worn stuff,
that will work too! For instance, if you have antique lamps or lantern
lamps, you can paint them with bold and bright colors. Neon colors are trendy
right now, so consider painting them neon green, pink fuchsia, or light blue.
Not only you are able to transform your old stuff, you can really spark up your
room without hurting your wallet. Basically, a room won’t be so cold or dingy
with some bright colors and cute decor accessories here and there.
You don’t have to buy expensive stuff to make your room livelier; even old and
worn things sparkle when you apply your own style!
Here are
some simple and yet cool ideas that you can implement into your DIY teenage room decor project:
Flower
lights
You only
need strings of lights (Christmas lights will do), colored cupcake containers
and scissors. Use the scissors to cut flowery shapes from the cupcake liners
and make a hole in each liner. Insert each light into the flowery shape, and
then seal it off by gluing or taping them. These strings of lights aren’t just
adorable but are also unique and stylish. You can place the light strings in
the reading corner or place them on the headboard of your bed.
Clothesline holders for
display
You don’t
have to spend money on photo frames. You can use clothesline and clothespins to
decorate your empty wall. You can show off your photos, ticket stubs, notes, or
cards on the clothesline using the pins to hang those items. It is unique and
eclectic, and you won’t have to spend a dime to show off your precious photos.
Make-up board
If you
always create a mess when it comes to your make-up arrangement, you can make
your own make-up board. All you need is an old frame, magnetic board, small
magnetic pins, glue gun, and your favorite paint. Buy an inexpensive magnetic
board and attach it to the old frame. Paint it with your favorite color. Black
paint with colorful accents also looks great, so don’t be afraid to mix up the
color scheme. Let it dry thoroughly. Meanwhile, attach small magnetic pins on
the back of your make-up items with a glue gun. Once the board dries
completely, you can start attaching the make-up items on the board, avoiding a
cluttered mess on your dresser. Not only it is good for a better arrangement, the board is definitely unique and
somewhat edgy.
Chalkboard paint
If you
have a file cabinet, you can cover it up with chalkboard paint. Feel free to
decorate it with any shapes, forms, or images with different colors of chalk.
You can also write the content of each drawer with the chalk. By doing so, you
can have better storage management and finding the stuff you want has never
been this easy! And if you don’t like a design, just erase it and try again
Stylish Trashcan Nightstand
Create a
unique and stylish nightstand using some paint and a trashcan. You simply need
to paint a trashcan in interesting colors or patterns, let it dry completely
and then use it as your nightstand.
Textured walls
Choosing
colorful paint for your room is an easy and common way to liven up a room, but
what if you want to create textures on the wall? There are some easy ways to do
so. For instance, you can cover the wall with paint and then dab a sponge on
the wall – while it is still wet – to create a unique look. Another way to create
interesting texture is to, wrap yarn around the paint roller, dip it into the
paint, and use it on the wall. You can immediately create a textured wall that
is cute and unique without fuss. However, the experts at All Around
Roofing will tell you, painting can be tougher and more dangerous than it
seems, especially if you’ve chosen to use textured paints. Make sure the space
you’re painting in is well-ventilated and make sure to read up on expert advice
before jumping into the project yourself.
Keep Cork
Board Handy
A
corkboard is very handy and useful. You can turn it on a pin board or memo
board. Here are some alternative uses for a corkboard.
- Washi tape board. Buy a large cork board or several small rectangular boards. Use washi tape to create unique patterns; diagonal or stripes are the most common ones. If you use several small boards, try putting them together so you have one big board.
- You can also cut the cork board into unique or interesting shapes. Before attaching it to the wall, use a cute paper wrap as the base and stick the whole thing on the wall. Now you can have your own beautiful memo board without having to spend a fortune!
- In case you have limited space on the wall – you may have already filled the wall with photos or other images – cut the cork board into smaller circles. Attach the cork boards to colorful circular plastic lids and arrange them on the wall. You can group them or scatter them around. One board can be used for one note.
Make Use of Trays
If you
have metal trays, you can paint them with interesting, bold colors and turn
them into magnet boards for your wall. There are lots of inexpensive and
adorable magnets that you can use to stick favorite photos or beautiful cards
to the tray. Or you can use the trays as a picture frame. Paint the trays with
your favorite colors and then attach one or two photos to them, and display
your “framed” pictures. This will work with trays of any material.
