How to Find Home Decor Craft Ideas

March 25, 2012 by FaveQuilts

 

So you’ve decided to redecorate a room (or even the whole house), but you’re on a shoestring budget. The best way to spruce up your home without spending a lot is to roll up your sleeves and get crafty! With just a few basic skills and materials, you can make beautiful decorations for your home. Give new life to your space without ever stepping foot into an IKEA. Here’s how:

Get Inspired – Where to Find Home Decor Ideas

The first step to creating an attractive, welcoming living space is to envision a cohesive design scheme. Without a vision for the end result, your home decor projects can end up looking disjointed together. Flip through decorating magazines, watch a few home improvement TV shows, or spend an afternoon browsing a furniture store to figure out what styles and colors resonate with you. Take pictures and keep track of which ideas strike your fancy.

Of course, the Internet also offers an endless supply of inspiration for home decorating. Start with Pinterest. If you haven’t used this amazing new photo-sharing website yet, you can easily learn how to navigate it. Pinterest will supply you with oodles of pretty home decor images that you can copy in your own design plans.

Once you have collected a few ideas, decide which ones you want to use in your new room. Choose design elements that fit your style, and remember that you can easily change colors to match your design scheme. Before you know it, you’ll have an idea of which parts of your space will be getting a crafty makeover.

Get Crafty – Where to Find DIY Home Decor Tutorials

A great design plan will you give you direction when redecorating your space, but first you need to learn how to make the things in your plan! There are plenty of home decor craft ideas on the Internet, just waiting for you to use them to cheer up your home. Browse a few DIY home improvement blogs to find tutorials that craft bloggers have successfully used in their own homes.
