Love combing through Pinterest for DIY interior design ideas? Don’t we all! Spending hours looking at exquisitely decorated homes is heaven for many people. If only some of these Pinterest-worthy rooms were easy enough for the DIY interior designer. For those intrepid designers, this article will give you unique decorating ideas for the rooms of your home.

 

Even if you’re confident in your interior design abilities, you’re sure to get ideas on how to spruce up your home in ways that you may have overlooked. Whether it’s through a fresh coat of paint or specially treating your windows, there’s a lot you can do to a room in your home if you use your imagination.

 

The Stairs In Your Home

 

Most homeowners don’t think of the stairs in their home as a DIY interior design project. But it certainly can be if you do things the right way. While decorating this part of your house will require a bit of ingenuity, the results that you get from using your imagination can absolutely wow your visitors.

 

One great example featured on the website of House Beautiful involves a bit of paint and a day of work. This homeowner had a carpet runner made up of paint put on their stairs. Not only does this DIY design hack make cleaning the steps a lot easier, but it also looks great, too.

 

Wallpaper

 

Wallpaper can act as a great addition to almost any room in your home. When it comes to your bedroom or living room, the right wallpaper can entirely change the look of the space for the better. The great thing about this hack is that it won’t cost you a ton of money to implement.

 

Another design hack that appeared on the website of House Beautiful involved placing wallpaper in unexpected places. Some of these places where you can put wallpaper to good effect includes transition areas such as hallways, powder rooms, and pantries. This design trick can add class to the places of your home that most people overlook.

 

Paint

 

Another inexpensive design hack involves placing a fresh coat of paint on several parts of a room for a brand new look. “The Budget Decorator” blog heartily recommends paint as a way to give new life to familiar spaces. Use bright but unique colors to really give your visitors a welcome shock.

 

To take this design hack a step further, find some inexpensive furniture to add to your room. Paint it in the colors you have chosen so that they match your theme. What you will soon see is that you have breathed a new identity into a space with which you are probably already familiar.

 

Your Ceilings

 

Painting a room in fun, unique and vibrant colors can really transform a space. But if you really want to kick things up a notch, take on the ceilings in your home as a design project. Doing this isn’t as hard as you might think. All you’ll need is some paint.

 

Even seasoned DIY interior designers don’t think to paint their ceilings. Try painting the ceiling a different color from the ones you painted the rest of the room. This tip alone could give your living area a design blog-worthy look to it.

 

Window Treatments

 

Windows often act as one of the most ignored parts of an interior design plan. Other than curtains, most homeowners don’t do much else to their windows. That’s really a shame as your room’s windows can really add to the mood of the space.

 

One way you can drastically alter the look and mood of a room is through tinted windows. They’re a great way to get additional privacy as a homeowner. The lighting that you will get from these types of windows will lend well to mood lighting for gatherings with a few friends, date night with your partner, or just a night by yourself.

 

DIY interior design doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. As long as you have a bit of creativity and inspiration, as well as some design instincts, you can make almost any interior design project work for your home.
