Every housewife, who is not indifferent to the arrangement of the hearth, always wants to bring something new, interesting and unusual to her home. But in the stores you can not always find what is really original, really like or fits perfectly into the home interior. Perhaps in our selection of vivid examples and unusual ideas you will find for yourself something exclusive, individual and pleasing to the eye.
Painted stones for succulents
All kinds of accessories play a large role in interior decoration: figurines, vases, decorative pillows, candle holders, paintings and other interesting details. So that they harmoniously fit into the overall picture of the interior and do not turn into “dust collectors”, it is not necessary to turn to the designer for help. If you want to create real beauty in the house, you can do it yourself. The main thing here is to withstand all decor items in a single stylistic orientation, which will be in harmony with the overall interior of the room and the whole house.
Moreover, each room needs an individual approach. For example, decorations such as wicker baskets, fruits, and painted dishes will be irrelevant in the living room and hall. These things are better for decorating the kitchen.
Decorative pillows for the living room
Perhaps the most functional decorations for the living room are cute little pillows. They can be either contrasting or matching the basic tone of the interior. Decorative pillows are easy to sew with your own hands. This task is within the reach of even beginner needlewomen.
Such pillows can be made from almost any material you like, but it must meet the following criteria:
- be completely hypoallergenic;
- good to keep in shape;
- be resistant to washing.
Another task is to choose the right material for filling the pillow. The best option would be silicone and foam. Also, the fabric for the pillowcase should be dense, light and plain. It is better to give preference to cotton.
The shape of the pillows can be square, round, rectangular. These are the most common types. For the thematic design of the room or in the nurseries, pillows in the form of a flower, a heart, some kind of animal look very unusual.
Having decided on the design and form, we proceed to tailoring. The most successful seam for sewing pillowcases and covers is linen. We combine the details and sew them up with the front sides. Iron, and then sew down. The crumbling edges of the material will be inside the seam.
Private home decoration
A private house offers even more opportunities for implementing interesting ideas on decor. Indeed, in a large area of a luxury cottage there is a place to roam creative imagination. An additional field for the realization of fantasy is the exterior of the house: courtyard, roof, fence, front door, porch, etc.
A variety of decoration options can be invented using facade and paving tiles. Concrete decorations are also very popular. Partially painted in gold color is often used by Scandinavian designers.
Beautiful birthday decor
Birthday is a great occasion to show your imagination and creativity to the maximum. Indeed, during festive decoration it is not necessary to follow the rules for matching the interior, since after the event decorations are usually removed.
Balloons are perhaps the most popular birthday decoration. Ordinary balls - this is no longer fashionable and irrelevant. Be original, fill them with helium.
For this you need: floral foam in the form of balls, a large needle, paint and sponge for its application. The length of the needle should be greater than the diameter of the largest foam floral ball.
Cozy needlework for decor
Create a Christmas tale in the house
All you need for New Year's decor is a minimum of New Year's attributes in the form of a Christmas tree, pine branches, cones, garlands, thematic toys and balls. And of course, the mood, inspiration and a little creative originality to create a unique festive atmosphere.
Paper Jewelry
To create such an amazing vintage composition as in the next photo, prepare the following:
- decorative paper;
- lace;
- tapes;
- photos;
- fabric for paper decor;
- necessary improvised materials.
With these simple materials you can decorate any thing. In our case, this is an old suitcase. Such decoration will become a highlight in the interior of a bedroom, living room or kitchen. Moreover, various things can also be stored in a vintage suitcase. It is enough to glue it with cloth and paper. You can also stick old photos, and decorate the edges with lace, ribbons or braid.
An equally interesting option is a panel with wishes, messages and notes. Prepare a beautiful, dense fabric or dark shade paper. Fix it on the wall and stick stickers of an interesting shape (for example, in the form of flowers or leaves). Each time the guests meet, invite them to leave a note on the stickers in the form of wishes, quotes, goals, etc.
Another interesting idea for decorating a house is a fun craft in the form of paper pompons. From the materials you will need: colored tissue paper, threads, scissors.
We fold several sheets of paper with an accordion in several layers on top of each other. Tie the middle of the sheet with a thread without pulling it together. Leave the ends of the thread long so that you can easily hang pompons later. Cut the edges of the accordion in the shape of a semicircle or a triangle. Flatten all accordion sheets, and then stretch and flatten each layer. As a result, you should get the same charming pompom as in this photo.
