Stacey Van Berkel, Eric Roth Photography

Decorating your home from top to bottom is extremely expensive, especially when you factor in the cost of furniture, paint, minor renovations, and decorative accents. While it may be easier to turn to Amazon or other e-retailers to add personality to your space, go the custom (not to mention, cheap) route with these DIY home decor ideas. The next time you have some downtime, bust out your toolkit (when needed), craft supplies, and get to work on these easy home projects. Some of them, like faux concrete walls and hand-painted wall decor, will completely transform the room in mind, while others will simply add a handmade, Pinterest-worthy touch without breaking the bank.

Whatever case, these easy-to-make decor ideas will give your bedroom, living room, kitchen, entryway, or any other room in your house new life — no serious handyman or crafting skills required. A lot of the DIYs on this list even tap into today's top home design trends, everything from antique art to vintage accents. Plus, just think about how great it'll feel when guests ask where your [insert DIY creation here] are from. (They're from you, thank you very much.)
