The Best DIY Wall Décor Ideas to Get You Inspired

An accent wall is a wall that’s designed to stand out from the rest of the walls in a room or space. This is done by utilizing different shades, colors or textures in a select spot. Creating an accent wall can help break up the monotonous pattern created by the adjacent walls, particularly when those walls are painted the same color. A great way to enhance your accent wall is by adding design elements such as wall art, interesting lighting elements, plants, or unique furniture.

Industrial interior design burst out onto the interior design scene a few years ago, and it looks like it’s here to stay. The most iconic element of this style is the brick wall. But fret not, nowadays you don’t have to start tearing down walls and rebuild them with bricks in order to have your very own brick wall. Many stores offer 3D wall panels that attach to your existing walls to give the same look and feel as the real thing.

Mirrors come in all shapes and sizes, and choosing the right one can make a huge impact in any room. Mirrors give the illusion of a larger and more airy space by adding an element of depth and reflecting light around the room. You can DIY your own window mirror or, for a more minimalist look, opt for a round-framed decorative mirror. For maximum effect, position mirrors on walls that do not receive direct natural light.

The ladder shelf is the perfect combination of beautiful and functional. It offers an elegant alternative to wall-mounted shelves while taking up approximately the same amount of space. Ladder shelves are perfectly suited to narrow sections of wall that would otherwise remain bare, or places where storage is required but space is tight. If you’re handy they’re relatively simple to DIY. If DIY carpentry is above your paygrade, ladder shelves can usually be found for less than similarly-sized bookshelves with the same storage capacity.

If you’re enjoying the clean geometric design that has burst onto the home décor scene in recent years, you’ll love these honeycomb shelves. They make a great addition to your bedroom, living room or even hallway. Each individual compartment frames and showcases its contents individually. When choosing your honeycomb shelves make sure to pay attention to your overall color scheme and the color scheme of their intended contents.

You can get pre-made hexagonal wall-mounted shelves and assemble them into your own unique honeycomb installation, or DIY them from scratch (pro tip: you can get lumber cut to your specifications upon request at most hardware stores). For a cozy effect add some string lights to frame the honeycomb pattern!
