The wall of the room is decorated with family photos, and a homemade bedspread using the patchwork technique is placed on the bed. The design of bedside rugs should be made in the same style. An original solution is the use of fabric birds, which are hung above the bed by satin ribbons.

The bathroom is a place of cleanliness and self-care. You can decorate it with shells and pebbles. A lot of things and accessories are stored in this room, so you can make homemade panel organizers. Wicker baskets screwed to the wall at the bottom can be used as storage shelves. Original towel hooks can be made from various materials: tree knots, wrenches. The main thing is not to stand out from the overall design of the room.

Wall decor options - ordinary boxes without a bottom and boxes made of dense materials. They can be repainted and hung on the wall as shelves for small items, dishes or spices in the kitchen.

One mirror in each room is good. N, but if there are several of them, as an addition to the main one, this is already a whole “ mirror wall" By the way, there are quite a lot of facing materials with a high degree of reflection on the modern market. But don't overdo it. If the room has a mirror floor, glossy ceiling and tiles with a mirror effect are already too much. On the south side, an excess of reflected light will blind the eyes; in a northern room or hallway without windows, this option is more appropriate. But it is better to choose mirror wall decor in the interior in some original design.

Stencil paintings on the walls

Stencils are used to create identical images or decorate walls in the absence of artistic talent. Stencil - plates made of hard material with a cut out silhouette pattern. You can buy this and make it yourself from a piece of plastic, cardboard, or plywood.

Any image is transferred onto it and cut out along the contours with any sharp object.

The finished stencil is applied to the prepared wall for drawing, which is first leveled with putty and painted. You can use the internal contours of the stencil and a cutout - the image that fell out. The drawing is applied in different ways:

• aerosol from a can;
• brush with paints;
• marker;
• roller with textured attachments and regular foam rubber.

By removing the stencil, you get a graphically clear decoration of the wall. If the paints are unstable, the surface of the drawing can be fixed with a colorless matte varnish. The marker lines can be duplicated with colored tape or tape, as in the photo - a polar bear and a penguin in a children's room.

The overall impression of DIY wall decor largely depends on the choice of colors. There are textured, pearlescent, iridescent, light accumulating and fluorescent (luminous) paints. They are preferred by those who are afraid of complete darkness. You can draw “guiding” stars and planets along the corridor on the top of the wall.

If you don’t know how to draw, replace the drawing with photo wallpaper with a similar effect.

Paper applications

Paper is the most available material for wall decoration. Decorations can be seasonal or temporary, such as for a holiday.

Today, many interesting techniques for working with paper are gaining popularity.

Each technique has its own secrets; it’s worth mastering at least one of them in a master class in order to use it to decorate your apartment with your own hands.

The simplest way is 3D applique as autumn leaves, flying birds or butterflies, bent in half and attached to the wall. These butterflies can be placed on the wall to be decorated in different ways:

Decor from improvised materials?

My advice to those of you who like to change your interior often, thereby refreshing it. In this case, it is best for you to use mobile decor; it can be easily changed as needed.

Option 1. Frame and mirror decorations

Buy some photo frames without glass and remove the backdrops from them. Select the design of these decorative elements, taking into account the style in which the room is decorated:

• if it is Rococo, Baroque, Empire or Classic - choose wooden frames with gilding;
• for country, choose varnished wood;
• metal frames are suitable for high-tech;

• if you chose Provence, white frames will look good on the walls in the room;
• monochrome decor is suitable for eclecticism different forms or with the same geometry, but from different materials.

You can hang a wall decoration from frames randomly or assemble some shape from them: a rhombus, a square, a circle, etc.

Empty frames different sizes will make the room more comfortable and visually larger. If the room is small, insert mirrors into all or part of the frames. They will visually expand the room.

You can also use small frameless self-adhesive mirrors. You can also make the wall completely mirrored.

Option 2. Fine arts

Paintings and photographs are decorative elements, which carry inexhaustible ideas. They harmonize with any interior design if you choose the frames and plot wisely.

Photographs and paintings are a bright accent, do not use them too much.

2. Compositions can be made in either black and white or color.
3. In the living room, draw a tree. Decorate its branches with family photos, thereby making it genealogical.
4. IN modern environment A collage of pictures on canvas looks stylish.

The sure way to create unique design- This art painting. Select suitable themes for the bedroom, children's room, hall and recreate them on the walls.

If you have no artistic skills at all, then interior designs can be recreated using stencils or ready-made vinyl stickers.

The most effective plots are voluminous. So, a sticker with a window view will decorate the room and visually expand small kitchen or a bedroom. In the bathroom it will help get rid of the enclosed space.

Images with perspective have the ability to visually expand the volume of a room. Here you can use:

• stickers with views of roads and alleys stretching into the distance;
• endless sea and ocean landscapes;
• fields, meadows and valleys with an endless horizon.

I want to warn you that vinyl stickers unsuitable for walls with relief. However, they are moisture resistant and can be easily removed from the surface.

• When the interior is decorated in country style, the decor colors should be rich and bright. For a classic design, choose noble leather or fabrics. For eastern interior Brocade pillows embroidered with “precious” stones are suitable.

Option 4. Living “green” wall

Walls decorated with compositions of living plants are still rarely found in Russian homes. Before you decorate the room, take a closer look at this option. By equipping plant arrangements with an irrigation system and lighting, you will make them autonomous.
