How to decorate a room with your own hands?

Decorating a room with your own hands is quite possible and without serious financial costs. Many decorative elements (from posters to flower arrangements) can be made independently.

Self-painting of walls in an apartment requires quite a bit of money. As a rule, building materials and tools left over after the repair are used to prepare the surface, and then all that remains is to purchase paints and repeat the drawing from the Internet using a stencil. Or come up with something on your own. It is very easy to decorate the walls with posters, paintings or photographs. It is proposed to print the finished images yourself on a color printer or in a photo studio, and then enclose them in frames, which can also be made at home. Very original interior stickers are also obtained from them.

Suitable for home decoration all kinds of textiles: pillows and ottomans, towels and potholders, rugs and curtains, wall panels and chair seats. All of them - with the appropriate skills - are created at home. Compositions of natural elements always transform the house with advantage. You can make the window sills of pots with indoor plants and regularly place a bouquet of fresh flowers on the table, assemble a composition of succulents, or make a florarium yourself. Finally, from the materials at hand, numerous home decorations are obtained, corresponding to different interior styles.

So, original shelves are obtained from old wooden boards, and from cuts of different sizes it is possible to design a stand, a wall panel, and even a coffee table. Glittering plastic beads form the basis for a bright interior curtain, and refurbished window frames add a special charm to any space.

It will be possible to give the apartment a completely new mood by using seasonal or festive decor.

Decorating the space for the fall season will be an easy task if you are inspired by natural motives. For example, the use of pumpkins will become relevant. Real fruits can be placed on the dining table and bookcase shelves, decorate a sideboard with ceramic figures, put a pumpkin-shaped pillow on the sofa, and hang a self-made pumpkin garland on the curtains. In compositions that will take place on a chest of drawers or a coffee table, it is worth using other gifts: squash of an unusual shape, zucchini and eggplant. Stunning bouquets will be made from spikelets of rye or wheat, complemented by sprigs of physalis.

In the springtime, they strive to give the apartment an atmosphere of renewal and freshness. You should definitely use natural materials, for example: put in a vase a bouquet of willow with expanding buds or hang a decorative wreath on the door. The walls can be decorated with embroideries or beaded panels on the spring theme. It is imperative to replace the curtains and pillowcases of the decorative pillows.

It is very easy to decorate a room on your own for the New Year holidays. A false fireplace is quite easily constructed from cardboard, which is then filled with candles, and also decorated with garlands and knitted socks. Paper snowflakes or drawings made with chalk markers will find their place on the windows. A garland of dried oranges, cones and cinnamon sticks will organically fit into any part of the apartment, and you should definitely fix a Christmas wreath on the door.

The table set for Easter is necessarily decorated with a traditional wreath, decorated with decorative eggs, figurines of birds, beads, ribbons and the first flowers. Everywhere you can place Easter bunnies in the form of figurines, paintings, pillowcases and, of course, painted eggs. The festive interior is complemented by wicker baskets, watering cans in delicate shades and bouquets of fresh flowers.

Birthday room decoration is selected depending on who the birthday person is and what interests he has... For example, if a husband celebrates a holiday or it is a mother's anniversary, then a basic decor is enough: a volumetric figure on the wall, bouquets of fresh flowers, a garland and bundles of balls. In the free corner, you can immediately organize a photo zone made of corrugated paper. With a child's holiday, everything is much more complicated. For example, if the son wants anime-style celebrations, then he will have to prepare posters with Japanese characters and characters from cartoons. The buffet area is proposed to be decorated with Chinese lanterns and bamboo branches. A holiday in the style of Harry Potter will require artificial candles lit on the ceiling, canvases with symbols of the faculties of the Hogwarts school, the obligatory presence of a distribution hat and other iconic objects from history.

For a romantic evening, candles, balloons and fresh flowers come in handy. It is recommended to decorate one of the walls with a collage of joint photographs or an inscription LOVE made of wood.Garlands of hearts or wreaths of scarlet flowers are also suitable.

In order not to overdo it with decorations on February 23rd, you should dwell on just a few elements: a volumetric five-pointed star, a garland of flags with congratulations and a bunch of dark green balloons filled with helium. Women's holiday requires a universal decoration of the apartment: fresh flowers, flickering garlands and candles in beautiful candlesticks.

In the room where the Halloween party will be held, it's better to create dim lighting: close the curtains tightly and place candles everywhere. Furniture should be covered with cobwebs, and paper bats should be planted on indoor plants and decorative items. A white cloth attached to the top of the inflated balloons will make great ghosts.

The interior of the space in which the discharge from the hospital is celebrated does not play a major role, but it is worth paying a little attention to it. Young parents are advised to order a three-dimensional inscription with the name of the newborn, helium balloons and a poster or a garland with congratulations. Interior stickers, bouquets of flowers and themed cake will complete the overall picture.

The choice of decorations largely depends on what function a particular room performs. When designing a kitchen, it is important to take into account that high humidity and temperature jumps are constantly observed in the space. In addition, any element of the decor can be regularly exposed to rather serious pollution. This means that you should only use well-washable items that will not deteriorate when exposed to splashes of water or grease, and will not deform due to increased temperatures. Since the kitchen is characterized by the presence of far from the most pleasant smells, it is worth thinking about the interior "flavors" of the interior. For example, on one of the walls you can place bunches of dried flowers, decorate the shelf near the stove with a bag of coffee beans, and fill the windows with flowering plants.

Of course, a wide variety of textiles (from tablecloths to towels and potholders) and beautiful dishes should be used in the design of the kitchen. Glass jars filled with cereals, as well as chemical flasks with spices can become a budget, but rather stylish interior decoration. Open shelves are invited to be occupied with a collection of beautiful cups, decorative figures and elegant kitchen accessories: a pestle with a mortar, grandmother's scales, an unusual coffee grinder.

When decorating a small living room, it is important not to use items that will "hide" its area. Better to limit yourself to a few decorative pillows in self-sewn pillowcases, elegant curtains and a couple of paintings or photographs above the sofa.... If we are talking about a more spacious room, then you can not limit yourself in anything. So, on the coffee table, it is worth arranging a full-fledged composition of decorative figures, a vase of flowers and your favorite books.

When decorating a bedroom, the main focus will be on the bed. You can create almost all accessories for it with your own hands: pillows, a blanket, a panel or a picture at the head, decorative items on the bedside tables. It is best to decorate the windows with opaque curtains that extend to the floor. It is necessary that the decor used in the design of the nursery meets several requirements: it must be made of environmentally friendly materials and in colors that are pleasing to the eye.

If the child is already 4–5 years old, then it would be nice if the decoration of the room matches his interests. In general, fantasy in this case has no boundaries: paintings, posters and panels, decorative figures and beautiful textiles are always appropriate. For the little ones, you can decorate the crib with a small canopy or mobile, while older toddlers will appreciate the decorative stickers on the walls and windows. A bathroom with a toilet is decorated in the same way as a kitchen, that is, taking into account far from the most favorable conditions. To decorate these spaces, textiles of matching colors, candles, dried flowers and beautiful jars with storage containers are used. It will turn out to decorate the hygienic rooms with some plants that love moisture, but do not need lighting.

Decorating the room yourself, it is important not to overdo it with decorative elements and not create a feeling of clutter in the room... So, if the main emphasis in the nursery is on the walls: multi-colored paper butterflies, a couple of paintings and bookshelves, then there are no figurines, decorative figures, garlands and heaps of soft toys in it. Again, since the bed, which plays the main role, has colorful textiles of different shades, then both the walls and the floor are distinguished by calm monochromatic colors. The same can be said about the adult bedroom: the drawing of a dandelion on the wall and the eye-catching textiles on the bed are balanced by the calm beige shades of the rest of the interior.
