DIY Bedroom Wall Decor

In our house, our bedroom is one of the spaces that we love crafting the most for. Because it’s entirely our own, it’s the spot that we feel the most happy filling with whatever we want and however we wanted to make it, to our heart’s content! There’s something very satisfying about knowing that the walls of our room are covered in our very own art. That’s why we’re always on the lookout for awesome new homemade decor projects that we like the look of but haven’t tried before!

1. Rustic X’s and O’s wall art

Is your room already filled with that particular mix of rustic and industrial elements that make it feel at once old fashioned and cozy, as though you’ve reclaimed most of your pieces? Well, especially if you’re looking for a simple way to work with wood or metal for the first time, then we think you might really appreciate the way Beckham and Belle created this rustic X’s and O’s wall art!

2. Fabric mounted and framed pressed flowers

Are you feeling very enthusiast indeed about the idea of making something that looks quite vintage or old fashioned despite being freshly made by your own hands, but you’re just not sure heavy things like wood and metal are the kinds of things you want to work with? Well, if you’ve ever enjoyed the process of pressing flowers, then we think you might prefer the way this lovely, pretty pressed flower and framed fabric art outlined in detail on Design Love Fest looks!

Have you always been the kind of person who adores metallics in their personal fashion and decor, so you’re always on the lookout for new ways to incorporate things like gold, silver, and copper, into your aesthetic? In that case, we think you just might be the perfect person to try out the way Jest Cafe made this stunning copper garland that is shaped all the way across like the different phases of the moon.

4. Giant hexagon confetti art

Well, we know these hexagons might not actually be giant compared to some DIY wall art pieces, but they’re pretty darn big as far as confetti goes! We love the way Tara Dennis added a metallic finish to their room a little bit differently by covering an entire canvas in alternating confetti shapes laid together like a mosaic.

5. Stunningly simple fired ink art

If you’ve never tried ink art before, especially the fired kind, then we’re very sorry to tell you that you’ve been missing out on something very fun and completely stunning! To fix that, we’d definitely suggest taking a look at how It’s Always Autumn made these lovely fired ink art paintings, creating breathtakingly colourful swirling patterns and framing them.

Perhaps you’re the kind of crafter who would almost always rather build something with a bit of structure to it? Well, we’re not builders ourselves in terms of, say, woodworking of furniture, but we definitely know the satisfaction of making something practical with your bare hands and then seeing it in use after. That’s why we liked the idea of making these awesome hexagon shaped shelves featured on Make and Do Crew so much! They’re not very big, but they’re perfect for putting small ornaments or little potted plants on.

Did we really catch your attention with the idea of making stunning, swirling paintings of your own creation but you’re more used to dealing with acrylic paints and you’d rather learn a new way of using those rather than trying to master the technique for a whole new kind of paint all together right now? In that case, we think you might get along a little better with something like this wonderfully marbled multi-coloured canvas project outlined in nice, clear detail on The 2 Seasons!
