How to decorate a room: curtains

Undoubtedly, accessories play an important role in interior design: vases, interesting details, multi-colored decorative pillows, figurines, etc. So that they do not turn into simple "dust collectors", it is not necessary to invite a designer. With this task, if desired, you can cope on your own. The main thing here is to keep the decorations in the same style, which would not stand out from the general interior of the room or the whole house.
In addition, each room needs an individual solution. For example, such frivolous decorations as decorative amulets, fruits, wicker baskets are not suitable for a living room. These accessories will look better as kitchen decor.
We sew a decorative pillow for the living room
One of the most functional decorations for a living room are pillows (see photo). In addition, they have great aesthetic value. They can be made from contrasting materials or be matched to match the main color of the interior. Such decorative pillows can be made by hand. Even a novice needlewoman can handle this.
For the manufacture of pillows, almost any material you like is suitable, but it must meet certain criteria:
- perfectly keep the shape;
- be resistant to washing;
- be hypoallergenic.
Another concern is to correctly select the material for the filler. It is better to give preference here to foam rubber and silicone. And one more thing: it is better to prefer a dense material for a pillowcase, while its color, if possible, should be light, without patterns. Cotton is the best choice here.
Having decided on the material, we proceed to the selection of the shape of the pillow. It all depends on your personal preferences, as well as on the interior of the room. So, if it is designed in a strict classical style, then pillows in the style of patchwork.
The most popular types of pillows:
- square;
- round;
- rectangular.
We turn to sewing pillows.
Advice! The most successful seam for sewing covers and pillowcases will be linen. We combine the parts and sew them right sides up. Gently iron them, then sew them down. The crumbling edge of the material will thus be inside the seam. This protects it from shedding.

Advice! Choose a pattern in advance or make it yourself to make the toy more accurate.
Then cut out the pattern and transfer it to the material. In order to make the toy ears, nose and paws, you can use a fabric of a different color, you can contrast it.
We carry out the grinding of the details of the head with our own hands. The front of the head is formed by three parts. We grind the front and back parts, not forgetting about the insertion of pre-prepared ears. We fill the toy with filler gradually, when assembling individual parts.

Much easier to work with thick paper, as it will remain strong when you cut it and weave the ribbons.
- Place the base of Whatman sheets so that you can work comfortably on both sides of the paper. You can put two chairs at a distance from each other so that you put the ends of the paper on the chairs, pressing them down with books or something heavy so that the paper does not fall.
- You can also hang whatman paper in doorway. But do not lay it out on the floor or table, as in this case you can conveniently get it only to front side.
- With a utility knife make two cuts in the paper, thread the tape into each of them so that a strip of tape remains on the front side, and both ends are on the wrong side: leave one end small and attach it to the paper (with glue or double-sided tape), the other is longer if you want to continue this weaving, or also fasten if this drawing is finished.
- Repeat the previous steps until do not fill the entire Whatman paper with paper embroidery patterns. In this case, the cuts do not have to be strictly opposite each other, and the lines are even. Take ribbons of different widths and make your own design.

The interior can be functional or comfortable, but it is the small details that can bring a feeling of coziness and comfort. unique features into the room. After all, a house is not just a place where we satisfy our vital needs, but a kind of continuation of our individuality. There are many design ideas, but we chose 12 of the most beautiful options do-it-yourself room decor, which everyone can realize on their own.
1. Garden in a bottle or florarium
Potted flowers look very cute, but to bring a unique touch to the interior of the room, we suggest going a little further and putting a garden in a bottle. This is an amazing solution that allows you to grow whimsical plants that will not survive in normal conditions.
An airtight container with a minimum amount of air creates a humid atmosphere, ideal for some types of flora. These include: calamus, royal begonia, bromeliad cryptanthus, pellionia, common ivy and others. When choosing plants, be guided not only by their external properties, but also by height - it is necessary that it matches the size of the container.
Any glass container with a neck that closes easily and is convenient for planting can become a “home” for a garden.
So, first you need to fill the bottle with material for drainage and earth. Think over the composition, then dig holes with a spoon with an elongated handle. Next, using two sticks, place the sprouts in them, and after tamping the ground, spray them. Florarium is ready!
2. Geometric shelves
Sometimes it is better to give up massive bookcases, using instead of them in the interior. simple compositions geometric shapes. Due to the conciseness, such shelves will perfectly fit into any design without causing difficulties during creation.
They are made like ordinary shelves - from flat boards of fiberboard or wood, and due to their unusual shape they do not require additional decorations to attract attention. Also, to diversify the design, you can, for example, hang the design on a hook. Just do not put easily breakable objects there.
3. Decorate the wall with nails and thread
No matter how strange this phrase may sound, but the decor of nails and threads is a real-life direction, which is called stringart. This solution is suitable for decorating walls, furniture, boards. At the same time, creative people have a place to turn around - you can not only come up with any composition, but also randomly wind a strand, creating a unique work.
You will need threads, nails and a base into which they can be driven. But before starting work, you need to come up with a sketch of the composition, clearly highlighting the main lines. Following them, metal hooks are installed, between which a strand passes.
There are many options for drawings: words, silhouettes, signs, abstractions and even detailed paintings with a diverse palette of colors. The main thing is that you will not find the same decor anywhere else.
4. Hooks for cutlery clothes
Why not give old spoons and forks that are not suitable for direct use a second chance by turning them into a practical decor element? With the help of simple manipulations, cutlery will become unusual coat hooks in the hallway, attracting the attention of guests.
You can give a curved shape to a metal object using a hammer or a vice, and for mounting on a base, it is enough to nail the part with an ordinary nail.
Forks look interesting, the teeth of which are directed in different directions. With a certain skill and the availability of the necessary equipment, names or simple patterns can be engraved on hooks.
5. Ottomans from old magazines
And although today the main sources of information are the Internet and television, quite recently people learned about the areas of interest in life from magazines, which since then, more than a dozen have accumulated in many homes. Instead of throwing away waste paper, we suggest making a comfortable ottoman out of it.
Such a piece of furniture, in addition to magazines about gardening or construction, consists of wooden base(which you can make yourself from a carpentry shield), pillows and two old belts that tighten the entire structure.
It is recommended to select publications of the same format, but even different ones will look very original. At the same time, depending on the appearance of the elements and the theme of the magazines, the ottoman will fit into a modern or more vintage interior.
6. Thread lampshade
It happens that you go to the store for a chandelier: there seem to be many options, but the prices bite, and the presented models do not fit into the interior. If you want to decorate your home with something unusual, you can make a lampshade with your own hands, using only yarn, glue, plastic wrap and a balloon.
The balloon must be inflated, wrapped plastic wrap, and on top of it - with threads, leaving a small hole. Next, glue is applied to the workpiece, after which the base must be removed after drying. The final stage is the electrical connection to the lampshade.
Such a ceiling can be used both for a chandelier and for a lamp. Try not to overdo it with threads - the design must be strong, while leaving gaps. White yarn is suitable for modern interior, and multi-colored will create bright accents.
7. Curtains for doorways
In rooms where it was decided to abandon doors to save space, small curtains or curtains can be used as a light partition. Moreover, there are many design options, so it will not be difficult to enter such an element into the interior design.
Instead of a solid, albeit transparent fabric, it is better to stop at curtains made of ribbons, felt beads (for a cozy atmosphere) or glossy details collected in a chain (this will add a little gloss).
It is not difficult to create such a product, the main thing is to decide on the material and color scheme. The partition is usually mounted on a mounted crossbar, which ensures easy movement if necessary.
8. Possibilities of decorative tape
Scotch tape can not only glue paper, but also create aesthetic geometric compositions in the interior. It is much more convenient to use, and the variability of colors and patterns only expands the decor possibilities.
Paper tape is more suitable for modern design, in which such unusual solutions look most organic. Using adhesive tape, you can, for example, circle pieces of furniture, diversify plain surfaces, “write” words or phrases, and even zoning.
It will also be possible to decorate smaller details, such as vases or photo frames, since products are presented on the modern market different sizes. It all depends on the imagination, as well as the possibilities of the room.
9. Decoupage in the interior
Probably, many have heard about this simple, aesthetic decor option, only in the context of small crafts. But with the help of napkins and glue, you can easily decorate larger items, creating a unique atmosphere in the interior.
Decorate with decoupage flat surfaces furniture, tile, glass. The drawing depends on the style of the room: for example, floral patterns are suitable for classics and Provence, newspaper clippings can be used for a loft, and bright combinations of various pictures for pop art.
In the work you will need: an image on thin paper, PVA glue, a degreaser and acrylic varnish to securely fix the decor on the object. It is better to practice beforehand, as with inaccurate application, bubbles or other traces may remain.
10. Garlands for every day
Glowing lights are not only a New Year's attribute. They can also be used for everyday decor, creating real magic in the room.
Garlands turn into a kind of night light if placed in a glass container, like a jar or vase. You can also hang them on the back of the bed, but the lights on the canopies look even more spectacular. Just remember to be safe and check that the adjacent material does not heat up.
Mounted on the wall, garlands look good with Polaroid photos, highlighting them beautifully. When inscribing such lighting into the interior of a room, it is important to keep the line between festive and everyday design.
11. Illuminated mirror frame
This kind of mirrors is called make-up mirrors, as they illuminate the stars as much as possible during makeup application and are often used in the corresponding rooms. But even in the living room, the illuminated frame has found its place, becoming a popular design solution.
You can fit the item into the bedroom, but it looks best in a modern bathroom. For the manufacture of the product you will need wooden frame, lamps, wires, and the ability of an electrician.
Please note that during installation it is necessary to use fluorescent lamps, as conventional ones create a lot of heat.
12. Candles in the interior
Of course, electric lighting is much more practical, but candles are unlikely to ever lose their mystical charm, continuing to act as an independent decor element.
But using a few candles in the interior is too commonplace. We are talking about a whole composition that will fit, rather, into classic style bringing to it the romance of ancient castles.
Such lighting looks amazing, displayed in several rows and placed on a separate shelf. To heighten the effect, you can hang the support from the ceiling, carefully choosing safe place- jokes with fire are bad, and dripping wax can bring inconvenience. But this is where the shortcomings of such a decor end, because a lot can be forgiven for a spectacular appearance.
