By Bruce W

Whether you live in an apartment or house, you can use home decor crafts to personalize your abode. These can be a great way to use your artistic skills to create stylish pieces that embody your ideal home. Additionally, you can save some cash by designing your own decor.

If you are working with the existing style, you will want to make sure that the projects you choose complement the pieces you already have in the room.

Speaking of which, do you intend to use your home decor crafts in one room or throughout the home? If you want to redecorate each room, choose one to start with and work your way through the home. Otherwise, you might end up with pieces that don’t match or that make the room look cluttered.

Now, you need to assess your craft skills. What are you good at, and what are you willing to learn? What materials, tools and equipment do you have at your disposal and which can you easily gain access to? This information will help you to focus on crafts that you can successfully execute.

What areas of the room need additional decor the most? Are you looking at bare walls and empty shelves? While blank space is essential to balanced decor, you don’t want to leave large areas empty. Don’t forget about the floors as well.

Natural items lend themselves well to rustic decor, but you can also use them in unexpected ways to boost the variety of artistic elements in the room. For instance, if your room has a lot of boxy designs, you could clean up an old tree branch. Then, paint it to match the room and add small items related to the room decor.

Alternatively, you could use the design for several small air plants. These take minimal time to maintain while adding color and life to the room. You could also display the air plants separately if you like.

Remember the basic rules of art when you are choosing crafts. You should have one main color, and two support ones. Within these, you can use various shades and tints to add variety. A well-designed color wheel can help you choose colors that will look well together.

Likewise, texture plays an important role in artistic designs. You need to have multiple textures, including flat areas, to break up the visual display. Check out some interior design pictures to see how texture variety works.

If you want to improve the decor in your home, opting to make your own creative pieces is often the best way to go. Whether you have a limited budget or plenty of cash to spend, investing your own artistic spirit into the creation of new decor will help to make your home more comfortable for you. Remember, you can always make changes if you don’t like a piece!
