Add a Fresh Coat of Paint

Adding paint to a room can really change the entire decor in your home. If your paint is a bit worn down, or you’re just tired of the color, you can always repaint it. Painting is a simple DIY project that is reasonably affordable. Even if you can’t afford to repaint every room in your house, painting rooms most often used or with the most damaged paint can really liven things up. If you want to add texture or patterns to your walls, you could also consider selecting some decals.

Make Your Own Artwork

Artwork can do wonders for your home and can bring together various color patterns. Rather than purchasing some art, why not get the family together and make a project out of it? You can create your own paintings to hang on the walls. Once you’re done creating your artwork, frame it for a more professional look. If you really want to kick things up a notch, check out Cocoweb.com and install picture frame lighting with your own work of art against a black backdrop. You’ll be surprised by how beautiful your painting looks against a classic black wall.
