Every hostess and owner wants to make their home beautiful and comfortable. This article contains the most different ideas for the home, which allow you to achieve this result with a small investment of time, money and effort.

We decorate the walls

Recently, walls painted or pasted over with plain wallpaper have become very popular. Yes, they serve as a great backdrop for accessories, furniture, etc. But large empty spaces require some additions. How to decorate an empty wall? There are many ways, you just need to choose the right one.

Maps on the walls

An extremely simple and very effective home idea that helps solve the problem of empty walls is to stick a geographical map. It is not suitable for every room and not for every interior, but for a children's room, study, balcony or loggia, and in some cases even for a bedroom or living room, you can find options. It is important to choose the right map for the interior, and there are not only “ordinary” ones - geographical ones. There are vintage, navigational, stylized, etc.

Where can you find such cards? Geographic maps can be found in bookstores or stationery stores. You will not find stylized or vintage ones there. Some options can be found in wallpaper stores. There they are in the form of photo wallpapers. There are many different ones on Aliexpress, beloved by many, you can search in other online stores. But there is another option: find the card you like on the Internet, save it to a medium and print it out in a company that deals with outdoor advertising. The only requirement is a large card format. They, of course, will be able to increase it, but not to infinity. So the original image should be of high quality and large.

Making modular paintings

The idea for a home - paintings and photos on the walls - is not new and many are fed up. Yes, this is a classic, but I want something new and unusual. One of the options is modular paintings. This is one image, divided into a different number of fragments. Fragments can be different in size or the same. Often these "pieces of images" are called "modules", hence the name "modular picture".

As an object, you can take any poster, poster, photo wallpaper. You can, again, print the image you like at an advertising agency. In this case, you can even take your photo or close friends, your favorite landscape, etc. Based on the composition of the picture, it is divided into several parts, cut. Frames are made for fragments. The dimensions of the frames should be 3-5 cm smaller than the fragments so that the module can be wrapped and fixed on the back side.

Nature is one of the most popular motifs The setting sun on the sea — what could be more romantic Beach, sun, summer…
And again flowers ... Symmetrical splitting is also possible Fantasy - an option for teenagers

Frames can be made from wooden planks, covered with thin plywood or fiberboard. But the easiest way is to take a foam of sufficient density (300-350 g / m³) with a thickness of 4-5 mm or more. It costs a little, you can cut it with any hacksaw, it will not damage the paper, it weighs a mere trifle, so you can even fix the modules on double-sided tape. You can attach images to the tablets with glue (find the right one), or with a construction stapler and staples.

Decorative mirrors

Ideas for a home using mirrors are not new. The first samples of this magical glass appeared before our era and were extremely expensive and rare. And no wonder. The mirror itself is an excellent accessory, and if it has an unusual shape or an amazing frame, it will definitely become an interior decoration.

It's so simple - circles from mirrors, and the interior is transformed by Butterflies from the mirror - an interesting idea
If you finish a shelf, chest of drawers, bedside table in the same style ...

Such compositions can be made not only from an ordinary mirror - coated glass. There is an acrylic mirror on the market. It is flexible and absolutely safe material. It does not give such a perfect reflection as a "normal" mirror, but for these conditions it is not required. You need a plastic material that is easy to work with. They sell sets of fragments of various shapes and sizes, on the reverse side of which double-sided tape is pasted. Attaching such a mirror is simple: remove the protective film from the adhesive tape, apply and press. All.

We make accessories for home decoration

Many ideas for the home relate to the creation of unique handicrafts that make our home memorable, cozy. It is these things that create the atmosphere of the house. Moreover, it is not at all necessary to spend an incredible amount of time and money on their creation. There are very simple ideas using the most ordinary, and sometimes junk things.

Home ideas are a sea of ​​possibilities to improve the interior or make your life more comfortable...and sometimes both

Decoration of vases and bottles with lace

Amazing transformations can take very little time. For example, you can make a vase of unique beauty from an ordinary vase, bottle or jar. And the process itself will take 10-15 minutes. This is if you have everything at hand. And, in addition to decoration objects, only lace, PVA glue, scissors and a brush are needed.

Everything is exactly as you thought. We just wrap the vessel with lace, cut it to size, glue it, wait until it dries. It's all. But the result will please you.

Who said lace has to be white...

Lace can be bought or knitted. The second option allows you to decorate vases of complex shapes, which can be decorated with ordinary lace with great difficulty. If you don’t know how to knit, but want to decorate a vase with an unusual shape, look for a stretch one. There is such a thing, and in quite a wide range. With the help of a stretching openwork, most of the problems are removed.

Zen garden

If you are looking for original ideas for the home, consider a miniature zen garden. It is easy to make, looks great, and can also help you relax and calm down after a hard day's work. Only this accessory is not for families with small children…. You will understand why.

Sad Zen in the original - pretty a complex system, but stylizations can be made from a transparent rounded container or even from a glass candy bowl, a vase, a small aquarium. Need more sand landscape design, terrariums or aquariums and a fat plant or a cactus.

First, let's figure out how to deal with a plant. it can be planted in a small pot, and buried in sand. Instead of a pot, you can use a sock with soil (tie a sock). Some plants (cacti) can be planted directly in the sand. In general, choose any method, but when landing directly in the sand, you need to take care of normal drainage - put pebbles on the bottom.

Sand is poured into the container, a pot with a plant or its roots is installed, all this is covered with sand to a certain level. All is ready. Now the surface of the sand is leveled and drawings are applied to it. There is a special metal stick for drawing, but a wooden one is also suitable for a start.

If you want to get closer to the original, you can do desktop version Japanese garden from a small box. The frame of the box is assembled from wooden blocks or bamboo trunks, the bottom is usually made from plywood or well-fitted and finished wooden planks. You can also make legs.

The resulting container is also filled with fine sand, but what else to add there is up to you. You can plant several plants, lay stones, pebbles, put candles, a statue of the Buddha. In general, here everyone creates their own Zen))

Mini garden in the house

There are two types of miniature gardens that can be made to decorate the interior of a house or apartment: open and semi-closed. An open mini-garden is made in large flat pots, pallets. You can use miniature bonsai plants, succulents and small cacti.

When choosing plants, pay attention not only to size, but also to the soil in which the plants grow. With a sufficiently large area of ​​​​the mini-garden, it can be divided into zones with different soil acidity, but this will require physical separation, as well as differentiation using physical plastic partitions - so that the soils do not mix.

In such an interior decoration, a real garden is recreated. With paths, benches, rockeries, etc. You can put a toy house, make a pond. Anything your imagination tells you.

Semi-closed mini-gardens are made in glass containers. Round ones look very interesting: aquariums, vases. Soil or stones are poured into them, plants are planted. But in such a limited volume, it is necessary to select plants not only according to the type of soil, but also the degree of illumination, irrigation regime, etc. It will not work in different ways to care for plants in a jar.

The smallest gardens ... And then - a moss garden ... a piece of a fairy tale

In these containers you can grow different varieties moss. In fact, they are very beautiful and only in such miniature gardens can one examine them to the smallest detail. Some of them resemble trees or shrubs, others are more like herbaceous plants. A wide variety of compositions are created from pebbles and moss, reproducing real landscapes or taking us to a fairy-tale land.

DIY sofa cushions

If you look at photos of interiors, you can see that in most of them pillows give a highlight to the interior. With their help, a boring interior turns into a lively and memorable one. Besides, a large number of pillows allow you to relax comfortably. Such ideas for a home allow you to quickly change the “mood of the interior”, adding home comfort.

In the case of using fabrics, everything is clear - we select the color and texture for the interior. But there are homemade pillows, from which it breathes comfort. A striking example of this is knitted pillows. A variety of patterns, colors, shapes. But the result is the same - they really want to hug, squeeze. They look very unconventional.

From old flannelette pajamas and a sweater And these old jeans turn into an original pillowcase ... all you need is a fabric with an adhesive base Knitted miracle - very comfortable Lace for finishing pillows - you need to choose the style Fleecy fabrics - simple and effective

What if you don't know how to knit? It's not a problem. There are old sweaters. Yours or children's. They make very interesting and neat pillows. You cut off the old knitted products along the sleeves, put a pillow into a half-finished pillowcase, sew it on both sides. Everything, the designer pillow is ready.

You can also use lace, fleecy fabrics, old jeans, even pajamas. Everything is in motion. And the weirder the coloring is, the more interesting the result is.

Home ideas: do-it-yourself little things

The atmosphere and comfort in the house are created not only by global things. Many small things that can be made from improvised materials bring no less and, sometimes, more pleasure and benefit. You use them often. And you don’t even look at the same paintings or mirrors in a month. A number of ideas for turning your home into a cozy and comfortable place have been collected in this section.

Opportunities - the sea

Shoe tray with pebbles

Owners of private houses have to go out into the yard regardless of the weather. Therefore, shoes are not always shining clean. Many get out of the situation by placing a rubber mat near the door or by placing a rubber pallet. Yes, the dirt does not spread, but the view is not the most attractive. You can significantly improve the situation simply by pouring pebbles into the pan. Water will flow over the stones, no drips are visible on them, dirt too. Periodically, it will be necessary to soak the pebbles in water and rinse to remove the accumulated dirt, but pebbles are reusable material and simply cannot be “erased”.

If there is no rubber pallet, you can knock down a wooden box with a side height of about 10 cm. Pebbles can be found on the banks of a river, sea, etc. In extreme cases, you can find it in designer stores or where they sell products for aquariums. But buying this "charm" is expensive.

Scarf storage

There are usually a lot of scarves, neckerchiefs and other similar products in every family. How to store them so that they do not take up a lot of meta, are always at hand, and at the same time do not wrinkle? There are several life hacks that you can easily do yourself.

The first. We attach metal rings to a regular hanger. Rings can be plastic or metal. Both can be found in the departments that sell . There are just no, in shape, size and material. Rings can be nailed to wooden hangers / hangers / trempels, attached with staples from a stapler, glued or tied with threads to plastic ones. And that's it, you have a device for storing scarves.

The situation is a little more complicated with the second device. You will need a processed board and a dozen or two clothespins. We fasten the clothespins to the bar on one side. They can be nailed, fastened with screws, glued. You will also need hinges to secure the structure itself to the wall.

Both ideas for a home are practical, require a minimum of funds and a little time. And evaluate the benefits yourself. Especially in the spring-autumn period, when there are a lot of scarves, shawls, planters on the shelf.

Instead of a bookshelf

- a good thing, but they are not appropriate everywhere, and good copies cost a lot of money. But books have to be stored somewhere. Exit - metal brackets. When they are installed, the bottom book serves as a support for milking 4-5 pieces, which simply fit on it.

Book holder - everything ingenious is simple

The disadvantage is obvious - the lower book is not available. The way out is to put the most unpopular or unnecessary one down.

Key holders and other small items

One of the most big problems- where to hang the keys so that they can be quickly found, and also instantly hung or removed. One of the good options is a magnetic board, but where to look for it is a question. But you can make funny holders of tennis balls. They are cut about a third of the diameter. That's all. The holder is ready. It just needs to be anchored somewhere. You can - on the wall with nails, you can attach several pieces on a separate board, and attach the board itself to the wall, closet, etc.

Instead of a housekeeper - pretty faces

You can make such a holder for small things in a matter of seconds. Longer to look for tennis balls. And to make it even more interesting, eyes are glued to the ball. It turns out such a funny smiley.

Basket made of plastic bins and clothespins

In the forehead economy is full plastic containers from under food, but ideas for a home with their participation are rare. We found one such option, in which the hero is a liter mayonnaise container. In principle, any jar of large diameter and low height can be used. Otherwise, the "basket" will be inconvenient to use.

Waste to income - a basket from a plastic jar

Using universal glue, glue the container with clothespins. When the glue dries, cover the surface with varnish or wood oil. Inner part cover with a cover made of cotton or linen. We make it a little longer than necessary so that you can hide the unsightly edge behind the lapel.

The handle is made of steel wire with a diameter of 3-4 mm. We bend an arc out of it. At one end we make a loop, in the sidewall with the help of a nail heated on fire, we make two diagonally located holes (one opposite the other). We pass the formed loop on the handle into one hole. On the second side, we bend the wire, thread it through the second hole, and then form a loop. We decorate the handle with a hemp rope. You can also make basket decorations from it. If you know how to weave macrame - great, no - an ordinary pigtail woven from several threads will do.

Sofa or armchair stand for cups/glasses/newspapers

Drinking tea in your favorite chair is a great idea. But there is nowhere to put a cup, the phone always falls between the seat and the “bylets”. armrests modern models soft, you can't put anything on them. Here we came up with smart people make a stand for cups / glasses (pictured). Extremely simple and very convenient thing. Few home ideas will bring you more pleasant moments.

You will need three boards with a width of at least 25 cm. They are knocked down in the form of the letter “P” (the connection can be strengthened with carpentry corners). The height of the jumper is a little more than the height of the armrest, the table should protrude no more than 1/3 of the width of the seat, otherwise you simply won’t sit in the chair. The structure is placed sideways, the lower part is pushed under the chair. It serves as an emphasis and does not allow the structure to roll over. To be sure, make the lower part much longer than the “table”. Also, for mobility, you can install wheels, but do not forget that the legs have modern furniture low and small wheels are needed, and they will have to be fixed from the side. Otherwise, the stand simply will not go under the chair.

Where to hide dog bowls

Dog owners know how difficult it is to find a place for dog bowls. Dogs living in an apartment or house are usually fed in the kitchen. There they put bowls. But they are needed for half an hour a day, and then they get underfoot on the floor all day. You can solve the problem, and elegantly. We place the bowls in one of the drawers. Needed - opened the box, poured food. Feeding is over - the bowls have been washed, put in place, the box has been pushed back. Everything is perfect and does not interfere with anyone.

This idea will require a slight modernization of the box. A plank of a small section or a corner is stuffed around the perimeter. A rectangle of the desired size is cut out of plywood or other sheet material. We cut holes in it under the bowls, then paint (if necessary). That's all, the idea is implemented. It remains to train pets.

Slipper storage idea

In any house or apartment with two or more inhabitants, slippers get lost all the time, get confused and disappear somewhere. One of the interesting ideas for solving the problem is such pipes / holders for slippers. Each pair has its own pipe. Order guaranteed.

Pipes can be made of stainless steel, you can cut them from plastic pipes large diameter. It will only be necessary to process the cut well - so that it is comfortable and beautiful.

Someone will certainly take a look at this collection of ideas and say that it is easier to buy new furniture or decor. But this article is not for them, but only for true connoisseurs of the unique style and products. self made. Here you will find the 10 most beautiful interior items that you can do for your home with your own hands without spending extra money.

Restoration of old chests of drawers and sideboards is perhaps one of the main trends of our time.

But chests of drawers and sideboards can stand for themselves for many years and annoy you with their outdated appearance.

2. Beautiful things for the home with your own hands: carpets

Perhaps the most pleasant thing about creating things for the home with your own hands is when one of the guests asks: where did you get such beauty? A stylish rug with a zebra print (or other motif of your choice) will certainly deserve such a compliment. And not once.

The fabric can be any. The main thing is that it should not be too demanding in care: it is not afraid of moisture and is easy to clean. In this case, the master chose the vinyl fabric. It is heavy and strong enough to look like a true carpet. What's more, the quality of vinyl these days is very impressive, and it's available in a wide variety of colors and interesting textures.

All necessary materials and tools:

• Thick paper;
• Vinyl upholstery;
• Scissors;
• 2 Krylon pens or regular fabric paint.

Procedure:

1. Create a paper stencil. Draw and cut out the outline of the zebra skin, then the drawing itself on it. Do not worry about your artistic talent - the skin of a zebra and should not look uniform or symmetrical. In extreme cases, the pattern can be copied from a picture on the Internet or even printed out to cut out.
2. Attach the stencil to the vinyl fabric and outline the stripes with Krylon pens (spray or brush). After that, the stencil can be removed and continue to paint the areas inside the contours.
3. Let the paint dry and you're done! To be sure the pattern will hold, you can "seal" the carpet by spraying a clear coat of acrylic spray paint over it.

Krylon handles create a stunning gold leaf effect on the surface of the fabric. In addition, the paint in them dries quickly and is very securely held. If you can’t buy them in your city, then use regular fabric or wall paint. As the next hero of our article.

He took a cheap white rug as a basis and decided to give it interesting view with your own hands using a chevron pattern. All he needed was thin duct tape, scissors, a thick brush, and two different shades of latex paint.

Finally, another inspiring example where a makeshift stamp is used instead of a stencil. The craftsman had a rubber bath mat, leftover wall paint (which had been slightly thinned with water for a vintage effect), a roller and an old IKEA wool rug. We look at the photo that he managed to cook from these ingredients.

2. Print a photo, after editing its dimensions so that they are about 5 cm more sizes substrates. These "extra" centimeters will go to the folds.
3. Cut the photo and backing into pieces if you want a modular set rather than the whole picture. Otherwise, skip this item.
4. Overlay the photo on the substrate and wrap the ends. The author of this product used a double-sided adhesive tape to pin photos. You can mount with ordinary glue or other available means. The very surface of the photographs can also be treated with glue or gloss paste.

1. Print the image and prepare the canvas to which it will be transferred.
2. Pull the canvas over the frame and apply a thick layer of medium gel on it. These gels are widely available and today you can buy them in any store of finishing materials.
3. Place the photo on the oiled canvas and press down. Leave it like this for several hours, but periodically sprinkle with water from a spray bottle.
4. Carefully, use your fingertips to start erasing the back of the image from the canvas. Remove all paper in this way.

We will consider the simplest option, how to make a fabric panel:

• You need patches different color and length. You need to stick them on cardboard or any other dense material (you can use a wooden board if you have one). Immediately decide on the picture you want to embody: it will be easier for you to choose the right material.
• Having chosen the desired image, start cutting it out of fabric and sticking it on cardboard. It is advisable to use PVA glue, since it is suitable for gluing patches, it will firmly hold them on cardboard.
• Cardboard can also be pre-pasted with some fabric, preferably plain. It will serve as the background for the main image.
• If you do not want to use glue for your panel, you can sew on patches with threads. Such seams look very interesting.

If you think that such a task is beyond your power, do not worry. Any image is suitable for a panel, even the simplest and most uncomplicated. Cut out various fabrics geometric figures or simple objects (for example, a teapot, mugs, pots, jugs, flowers, etc.). This is possible even for a child.

Patchwork

Patchwork-style crafts look no less interesting in the interior. This patchwork technique resembles a fabric panel. These are neatly cut patches, assembled into a composition of a certain theme that can decorate any item in your room. For example, pillowcases or blankets are often decorated with patchwork, collecting them from many patches of different sizes and colors. Most often, rectangular and triangular geometric shapes, as well as squares, become fragments for compositions. Patchwork pillows look very interesting, they will definitely add bright colors to your living room.

Undoubtedly, knitted crafts made of yarn will be a beautiful element and addition to your interior. If you love and know how to knit, the original schemes of toys, coasters and napkins will help you make your plans come true. You can knit an interesting case for flower pots or hot plate. We present to your attention instructions for creating a knitted rug from those things that you no longer use.

Take an old thing and start cutting it in a spiral. You should get a long strip no more than 4-5 cm wide. Arm yourself with a crochet hook and start making a chain of air loops.

• You will need to use glue to paste over part of the bottle with a napkin. To do this, as you already understood, is simple.

If you have old drawers from the table, they can be transformed into an exclusive designer item by pasting inner walls drawer with colorful paper napkins or shiny paper for gifts. In such a box you can store any small things. By the way, the outer walls of the box can also be repainted in a different color or specially aged by peeling off the old paint.

To prevent damage to the wooden surfaces of the house, you can paint the lining inside. The paint will keep the wood texture well and make the wood more resistant and durable. The lining should be painted in several stages:

Clean the lining from contamination by the resulting solution from warm water and soda old paint can be removed with foil. Wipe the surface with it without applying too much pressure so as not to ruin the wood surface.

Grinding

Using pumice stone or sandpaper (preferably fine-grained), carefully sand the lining.

Padding

Painting

This stage is the final one, in which you will need two brushes: a medium width and a narrow brush. Apply paint in several thin layers, but no more than three. It is recommended to start painting from above so that smudges do not flow down over already painted places. Wait for the first coat to dry before applying the second coat of paint. The last coat of paint should be the thinnest. Choose only good paints that have proven themselves in the market of this segment on the positive side and receive the highest ratings from buyers. To do this, before buying, you should ask for reviews.

We make paper

Paper is one of the most available materials for crafts. From it you can make origami, napkins, a hot stand and other crafts that will look original and interesting, you just have to show your imagination. One of the most beautiful crafts that can be made from paper is a quilling painting. To do this, cut thin strips of paper.

Each strip is folded, giving it any shape (usually oval). Using pressure with your fingers on the folded ball of paper, form a layered oval shape. Just don't push too hard on the paper or you risk turning it into a flat ball. In this technique, you can make a picture and hang it on the wall.

Depending on what size you want to make the stand, cut into balls larger or smaller. After connecting them to each other, gluing on the sides. The hot plate is ready.

We suggest you decorate your chandelier with paper butterflies. To do this, draw a butterfly on paper and cut it out along the contour. Make a small hole with a needle and thread a thread through it. After making a knot at the end, hang the resulting butterfly on the chandelier.

The more butterflies you cut out, the more charming your room will look.

Draw a tree trunk and branches extending from it in different directions with dark paint on a plain wall. Using colored paper, cut out green tree petals or pink sakura petals, sticking them onto the twigs of the painted trunk. This is an amazing option for brightening plain walls.
