Going out to purchase home decor can be a challenge. You may have a specific style you’re aiming for that might not be readily available in stores. In these cases, DIY home decor can be the answer.
Here are some DIY home decor ideas to help you bring your creative vision to life:
DIY geometric planters
Want to combine an earthy feel with a modern touch? Consider building a geometric planter. You can make the planter from straws and bind it together with hot glue. Once the set is finished, you can paint it a shade of your choice.
DIY floral monogram
Consider switching up your table decor with a beautiful DIY floral monogram. With acrylic paint, you can paint your favorite flowers on a letter backdrop. This decor is perfect to prepare for special occasions and parties to highlight the guest of honor.
DIY mirror boxes
Mirror boxes are a simple yet easy DIY project to add to your home. You can use these reflective boxes to decorate any space, from home office shelving to a modern dining room tablescape. Light reflecting from the sides of the box adds sparkle and increases the natural light in a room while also creating a classy and elegant vibe.
DIY white brick vase
Want to add a little excitement to vases in your home? Try DIY bricks on your vase. For this project, you can either paint on a brick pattern freely or use tape as a guide for a uniform brick design. Either way, the brick print is stylish and fun.
Whether you’re changing your wall art or sprucing up your laundry room, DIY projects can bring out the aesthetic you really want for your space. Consider checking out your local crafts store to find supplies and inspiration for your next DIY project.

Kyung Kim
Hi, I'm Kyung Kim. I immigrated from South Korea to the United States in 1968 when I was 7 years old. I have seen my mom struggle with the English language and work hard to raise her four kids by herself. Still to this day, I don't know how she pulled it off, but she bought her first home in 1979 for $70,000 and because of that decision, she was able to live without worrying about her financial future. I want that for everyone, to feel the pride of home ownership and to build their financial wealth using real estate as part of their financial portfolio. I feel so blessed to play a small role in helping others reach this goal.
I live in Beaverton with my husband, Richard. My mom, who lived with us for several years, passed away in our home in February 2022. Her first home purchase in 1979 made it possible for her to live to the very end, without worrying about her finances. As of August 2022 with a little downpayment assistance, our four children own their own homes. Being in real estate, I quickly realized that if they didn't buy now, they may be priced out of the market in the future. Whether that would have been the case, we will never know, but what we do know is that they are all realizing some good, healthy appreciation in their home values.
As passionate as I am about people owning their homes, I'm also passionate about giving back to our community. I support Compassion First, a non-profit organization that provides aftercare for sex trafficked girls in Indonesia. My husband and I also feel called to financially support social injustice organizations.
I'd love to assist you. Whether you're in the research phase at the beginning of your real estate search or you know exactly what you're looking for, you'll benefit from having a real estate professional by your side. I'd be honored to put my real estate experience to work for you.
