12 Creative DIY Wall Art Projects

You’ll love these DIY wall art projects that create interest on a blank wall without costing a bunch.

I’ve been working on the finishing touches for our living room with the main focus being on art. Although this room was painted quite some time ago, I wanted to find just the right pieces before we started making any new nail holes. Patching, sanding, priming and painting can be a total pain, so I’m always a little reluctant to pull out the hammer without a pretty good plan in place. Art makes a huge difference in a space, and is definitely worth the hassle.

Although I’ve created art for several rooms in our house, this time I decided to order a selection of prints and frame them in white to hang over our sofa. During the renovation, we decided to close up an arched opening from the living room to the dining room to give us more wall space. As a result, the room is more cohesive and cozy, but we’ve lost some of the natural light coming into the space. The light and airy gallery wall we’re planning on installing should do a good job of lightening up the space and adding the interest it’s currently lacking.

Until then, I wanted to share some beautiful and creative DIY wall art ideas I came across that create interest on a blank wall without costing a bunch. Art can definitely be an investment especially when it’s oversized, so making your own is often a great solution. It really is easier than you may think!
