Ever find yourself staring at an open wall in your home and just think, "ew..."? Yeah, that's because plain white walls are EW. But that empty space on a wall can be very tricky to fill, especially if their blankness is never-ending and you're worried about making the wrong decor move. That's where I (hi!) come in. You could say that I'm always here looking out for you, and now I'm here for your walls. Add some much-needed liveliness with plants, do some art projects with common household thangs that'll look great in your living room, or even learn how to weave macrame (hipster looks good on you, friend).
You may not consider yourself a DIY kween (el oh el, same), but these projects have easy-to-follow instructions that will make you feel like you've been using a saw and painting your whole damn life. Here, the best DIY wall decor projects for you to take on RTFN.
1. Paper Flower Wreaths
This is childhood craft time meets adult wall space at its finest. Customize the colors of the flowers to match your already-outfitted room, and it'll be the perfect addition to that boring wall you've always dreaded looking at.
2. Circular Woven Wall Hangings
Let's be honest, these circular wall hangings don't necessarily look like an easy DIY project. They'd also make great presents too. Just saying...
3. Boho Wall Hanging
This is literally something I would get online at a bougie website but you can actually make it for way less than that by following these easy steps. Your friends are going to freak out when they find out that you made this beauty. Be warned: They might ask you to make them one too.
4. Wooden Pegboard
If you have a HUGE wall, lots of ideas, but no clue where to start, this wooden pegboard is your answer. You can add as many sections as you want and are able to fill the board up with all your random knick-knacks. Look how chic they are all together!
5. Shower Curtain Wall Art
DIY projects can be pricey depending on the tools you need, but this is one of the most budget-friendly tutorials you can take on. All you need is a shower curtain and some wood to make a frame. Boom.
6. Wood Slat Wall
Add some dimension to your space with some wooden slats. It'll bring unique vibes to a room that would otherwise be filled with plain walls.
7. Living Gallery Wall
If your all-around obsession with plants is thriving, your living gallery wall will too once you plant these babies. This one might take a littttle bit more long-term effort from you, but if you love the vibrancy and the mood-boosting qualities that fresh plants bring to your home, then it's definitely worth the extra work. And if you don't yet have that green thumb, maybe take a look at these plants that are almost impossible to kill.
8. Flower Wall
Bring a pop of color to your room with this (faux) flower wall situation. It's easily customizable based on your color palette and would look so good right behind your bed (headboards are overrated).

10. Marble Wall Art
I know it sounds crazy, but the answer to that random corner you're always looking to liven up is...shaving cream. You can easily make these gorgina marbled art pieces with some shaving cream and a little bit of acrylic paint. People will see your chic walls and wonder "is that a Picasso?"

What better way to showcase your cute AF photos than on top of your crafty AF DIY project? Answer: there is none. All you need is some wood and a drill to create this stunning picture ledge. TBH, you'll spend more time picking out the perfect pictures for the ledges than you'll spend building it.
14. Mirror Gallery Wall
Every home needs that well-placed mirror on their empty wall, but what are you supposed to do with the rest of the space? To avoid answering this question, create a mirror gallery. It's a fun way to add some extra dimension and color to the room while showcasing some of your personal style. Tutorial: find mirrors you like and hang them on the same wall. I swear it could not be easier.
