Hey Lykkers 💬 Ever stare at a big blank wall at home and wonder, “What can I even do with this?” That was me last month. I just moved into a new place and the living room wall was SO empty, it made the whole space feel unfinished.

So I got a little creative and tried out a few DIY art wall ideas. The best part? I didn't spend much and had a blast doing it. Let me share what worked for me👇

📌 Idea 1: Gallery Wall with a Twist

Instead of buying expensive art, I printed my own!

I picked 5 of my favorite travel photos and added simple black frames. To mix it up, I also framed a quote I love and a small piece of fabric I got from Bali.

Tips:

- Use painter's tape to plan your layout on the wall first

- Odd numbers (3, 5, 7) look more natural

- Mix sizes and orientations for a casual vibe

🎨 Idea 2: DIY Abstract Canvas

Yes, I painted it myself… and I'm not an artist 😅

I bought a blank canvas, used leftover wall paint, and just played with shapes and lines. Think bold swirls, dots, or layered brush strokes.

Tips:

- Use 2-3 main colors to keep it cohesive

- Add texture with sponges or thick brushes

- Don't overthink it — it's meant to be expressive!

🪴 Idea 3: Mini Shelf Art Wall

Floating mini shelves are a game-changer.

I hung 3 in a staggered pattern and styled them with tiny potted plants, candles, and small frames. It adds dimension and lets you switch things out easily.

Tips:

- Stick with a color theme (I went with neutral + green)

- Keep each shelf balanced — not too cluttered

- Add a pop item like a quirky figurine or travel souvenir

🧵 Idea 4: Fabric or Tapestry Wall

I found a pretty boho fabric on Etsy and hung it with command strips. It instantly made the space feel cozy. You could also use a scarf, picnic blanket, or hand-dyed cloth.

Tips:

- Iron it first for a smooth look

- Choose fabric with texture or patterns to stand out

- Works great behind a couch or bed

📚 Bonus: Art Wall for Quotes Lovers

I printed 9 quotes that mean a lot to me and arranged them in a grid. All black text on white background — super clean and modern.

Tips:

- Keep the spacing even (I used a ruler and tape)

- Mix fonts but stick to black and white for balance

- Add one colored piece in the center to pop

That's it, Lykkers! 💛

I promise — once you add your own DIY touch, even a boring wall feels personal and stylish. Let me know in the comments: Which idea would you try first? Or do you have your own wall trick? Share with me! 👇
