The interior may be functional or comfortable, but it is small details that can bring a sense of comfort and unique features to the room. After all, a house is not just a place where we satisfy our vital needs, but a peculiar continuation of our individuality. There are many ideas for decoration, but we have chosen the 12 most beautiful room decor options with our own hands, which everyone can implement independently.
1. Bottle Garden or Florarium
Flowers in pots look very nice, but to bring unique features to the interior of the room, we suggest going a little further and putting the garden in a bottle. This is an amazing solution that allows you to grow whimsical plants that will not survive in normal conditions.
In a sealed container with a minimum amount of air, a humid atmosphere is created, ideal for some types of flora. These include: calamus, royal begonia, bromeliad cryptanthus, pelium, common ivy and others. When choosing plants, focus not only on their external properties, but also on height - it is necessary that it matches the size of the container.
Any glass container with a neck, which is easy to close and convenient for planting, can become a “home” for the garden.
So, for starters, you need to pour material for drainage and earth into the bottle. Think over the composition, and then dig out the holes with a spoon with an extended handle. Then, using two sticks, place the sprouts in them, and after tamping the ground, spray them. Florarium is ready!
2. Geometric shelves
Sometimes it is better to abandon massive bookcases, using simple compositions of geometric shapes instead of them in the interior. Due to the laconicism, such shelves will fit perfectly into any design, without causing difficulties in creating.
They are made, like ordinary shelves, from flat boards of fiberboard or wood, and due to their unusual shape they do not require additional decorations to attract attention. Also, to diversify the design, you can, for example, hang the structure on a hook. Just do not put easily beating objects there.
3. Decorate the wall with nails and threads
No matter how strange this phrase sounds, but the decor of nails and threads is a really existing direction, which is called stringart. This solution is suitable for decorating walls, furniture, boards. At the same time, creative people have a place to turn around - you can not only come up with any composition, but also randomly wind the strand, creating a unique work.
You will need threads, nails and a base into which they can be driven. But before starting work, you need to come up with a sketch of the composition, clearly highlighting the main lines. Following them, metal hooks are installed, between which a strand passes.
There are many options for drawings: words, silhouettes, signs, abstractions and even detailed pictures with a diverse palette of colors. The main thing is that you will not find the same decor anymore.
4. Cutlery coat hooks
Why not give old spoons and forks that are not suitable for direct use, a second chance, turning them into a practical decoration element? With the help of simple manipulations, cutlery will become unusual hooks for clothes in the hallway, attracting the attention of guests.
You can give a curved shape to a metal object with a hammer or vise, and for installation on the base it is enough to nail the part with an ordinary nail.
Forks whose teeth are directed in different directions look interesting.With a certain skill and the availability of the necessary equipment, names or simple patterns can be engraved on hooks.
5. Puffs from old magazines
And although today the main sources of information are the Internet and television, more recently, people learned about areas of life of interest from magazines, which since then have accumulated more than a dozen in many houses. Instead of throwing waste paper, we propose to make a convenient ottoman out of it.
Such a piece of furniture, in addition to gardening or construction magazines, consists of a wooden base (which can be made from a joinery itself), a pillow and two old belts that tighten the entire structure.
It is recommended to select publications of the same format, but even different ones will look very original. At the same time, depending on the appearance of the elements and themes of the magazines, the ottoman will fit into a modern or more vintage interior.
6. Thread lampshade
It happens that you go to the store for a chandelier: there are many options, but the prices bite and the presented models do not fit into the interior. If you want to decorate the house with something unusual, you can make a lampshade with your own hands, using only yarn, glue, plastic wrap and a balloon.
It is necessary to inflate the ball, wrap it with plastic wrap, and over it with threads, leaving a small hole. Next, glue is applied to the workpiece, after drying of which the base must be removed. The final stage is the connection of electricians to the lampshade.
Such a ceiling can be used for both a chandelier and a lamp. Try not to overdo it with threads - the structure should be strong, while leaving gaps. White yarn is suitable for a modern interior, and multi-colored yarn will create bright accents.
7. Curtains for doorways
In rooms where it was decided to abandon the doors to save space, small curtains or curtains can be used as an easy partition. Moreover, there are many design options, so it’s not difficult to fit such an element into the interior design.
Instead of a solid, albeit transparent fabric, it is better to stop on curtains of ribbons, felt beads (for a cozy atmosphere) or glossy details assembled in a chain (this will add a bit of gloss).
To create such a product is not difficult, the main thing is to decide on the material and color scheme. A partition is usually mounted on a mounted crossbar, which provides easy movement if necessary.
8. Features of decorative tape
Adhesive tape can not only glue paper, but also create aesthetic geometric compositions in the interior. It is much more convenient to use, and the variability of colors and patterns only expands the possibilities of decor.
Paper tape is more suitable for modern design, in which such unusual solutions look most organically. Using adhesive tape, you can, for example, circle furniture, diversify plain surfaces, “write” words or phrases, and even carry out zoning.
It will also be possible to decorate smaller details, such as vases or photo frames, since in the modern market products are presented in different sizes. It all depends on the imagination, as well as the capabilities of the room.
9. Decoupage in the interior
Probably, many have heard about this simple, aesthetic version of the decor, only in the context of small crafts. But with the help of napkins and glue, you can easily decorate larger objects, creating a unique atmosphere in the interior.
Flat surfaces of furniture, tile, glass decorate with a decoupage. The drawing depends on the style of the room: for example, floristic patterns are suitable for classic and provence, newspaper clippings can be used for a loft, and bright combinations of various pictures can be used for pop art.
In your work you will need: an image on thin paper, PVA glue, a degreasing agent and acrylic varnish to securely fix the decor on the subject.Preliminary, it is better to practice, as inaccurate application may leave bubbles or other traces.
10. Garlands for every day
p> Glowing lights are not only a New Year attribute. They can be used for everyday decor, creating real magic in the room.
Garlands turn into a kind of night light if you place them in a glass container, such as a can or vase. You can also hang them on the headboard, but the canopy lights look even more spectacular. Just do not forget about safety and make sure that the surrounding material does not heat up.
Garlands mounted on the wall look good with polaroid photos, highlighting them beautifully. Inserting such a highlight in the interior of the room, it is important to keep the line between the festive design and everyday.
11. Illuminated mirror frame
This type of mirror is called make-up room, as they illuminate the stars as much as possible while applying makeup and are often used in the corresponding rooms. But even in the living room, the backlit frame found its place, becoming a popular design solution.
You can enter the item in the bedroom, but it looks best in a modern bathroom. To make the product you will need a wooden frame, lamps, wires, as well as the ability of an electrician.
Please note that during installation it is necessary to use fluorescent lamps, since ordinary ones create a lot of heat.
12. Candles in the interior
Of course, electric lighting is much more practical, but candles are unlikely to ever lose their mystical charm, continuing to act as an independent element of the decor.
But using a few candles in the interior is too commonplace. We are talking about the whole composition, which will fit, rather, into the classical style, introducing the romance of ancient castles into it.
Such lighting looks amazing, displayed in several rows and placed on a separate shelf. To enhance the effect, you can hang the support on the ceiling, carefully choosing a safe place - jokes with fire are bad, and dripping wax can be inconvenient. But the disadvantages of such decor end there, because much can be forgiven for the spectacular appearance.
