Budget-Friendly Wall Art Ideas for a Stylish Home Makeover

There’s no reason why transforming the walls of your home should have to cost you an arm and a leg. And with a bit of creativity and resourcefulness it is possible to make amazing wall art that will add to your décor whilst also letting your personality shine through—without spending lots of money. If you want to update your living room, bedroom or entryway then these budget wall art ideas can help you get a stylish home makeover at a dime.

1. DIY Canvas Art

There is nothing more cost effective than creating your own canvas art.

Abstract Art: The brief form of painting abstract is acrylic painting, bold brushstrokes, splatters, or geometrical patterns.

Stenciled Designs: Make use of inexpensive stencils, or even do your own, to achieve complex patterns or typography.

Repurpose Old Canvases: You can pain over old/thrifted canvases with your own design.

Tip: Imperfections are charming and you don’t need to be an artist to make some great DIY pieces.

2. Frame Free Printables

Free printable art is such a treasure trove on the internet.

Sources: Without a doubt, you can find plenty of high resolution images for free on websites such as Unsplash, Canva and Pexel.

Themes: You can choose prints which complement your decor style — botanical illustrations, typography, abstracts and so on.

Printing: You can print your images at home, or use an online service that gives the quality of a professional print, for a price.

These are great on their own, but pair them with a frame and you can use thrift store or repurposed frames to get a polished look.

3. I do love hanging Gallery Walls with Personal Photos!

Keeping your cherished memories as a beautiful gallery wall.

Black-and-White Photos: By converting your images to black and white you’ll give your images a cohesive, timeless feel.

Creative Frames: Use inexpensive frames in different sizes and finishes for a nice change.

Collage Style: Post the details in a casual, frame free, display using photo clips or washi tape.

Tip: Adding in little mementos such as postcards or ticket stubs will personalize your gallery wall even more.

4. Thrifted and Vintage Finds

Affordable wall art is like a goldmine for thrift stores and flea markets.

Vintage Posters: Search for retro travel posters, movie prints, or advertisements.

Old Frames: Also make use of vintage frames to repurpose them into a mirror, fabric art or a chalkboard.

Secondhand Art: Original paintings or prints are usually available at bargain prices—the only thing they may require is a new frame or clean!

5. Fabric Wall Hangings

Wall art made of fabric is inexpensive and versatile.

Tapestries: Use large scale art, using tapestries or sections of patterned fabric.

Embroidery Hoops: Drac is also excited about stretch fabrics (to make colorful fabrics or DIY embroidery designs, etc) and showing them in hoops.

Framed Textiles: I frame pieces of fabric that have interesting patterns or textures for a cool look.

Tip: If you can save a few more dollars, check out fabric stores to look for remnants or take your pick from discounted pieces.

6. Painted Accent Walls

An accent wall painted for an affordable price and impact can do the trick if you’re looking for a change.

Geometric Patterns: Make clean lines and geometric designs using painter’s tape.

Murals: A hand painted mural is a lot of fun for artistic types to pursue and can be a very dramatic flair.

Two-Tone Walls: A wall with contrasting colors will brighten your room.

Tip: Small scale designs are best done when you have leftover paint from previous projects or sample sized paint pots.

7. Nature-Inspired Art

Nature inspired wall art brings the outdoors inside.

Pressed Flowers and Leaves: Dried flowers or leaves can be put into frame for a very fine and timeless display.

Branch Art: For a rustic, organic look hang lightweighted branches or driftwood.

Pebble or Shell Arrangements: Employ the use of the items collected from nature to make up art until you get unique art pieces.

Tip: To bring a bit of depth to the frames or shadow boxes, combine natural elements.

8. Chalkboard or whiteboard walls enable you to impart more knowledge and skills more accessibly and on a daily basis.

Breathe a new life into a boring blank wall.

Chalkboard Paint: To create an interactive art area, paint a section of your wall using chalkboard paint.

Whiteboards: This whiteboard is a great way to update people or give reminders, easier when everyone knows what is going on.

Magnetic Boards: Interchangeable photos or art prints are displayed on a magnetic surface.

9. Upcycled and Recycled Art

Use creative items you already have in your house.

Magazine Collages: Layer beautiful, colorful art by cutting out images or patterns from old magazines.

Wine Corks or Bottle Caps: For a quirky look arrange corks or caps into interesting shapes or patterns.

Scrap Wood: Rugant make rustic signs, panels, and abstract designs of scrap wood pieces.

10. Wall Stickers and Decals

Some budget friendly, easy to apply options are wall stickers and decals.

Peel-and-Stick Murals: You can make a dramatic effect by covering an entire wall with a removable mural.

Custom Decals: Personalize your quotes or designs for custom look.

Small Stickers: Use minimalist stickers to make patterns, i.e. polka dots or stars.

Tip: For renters, Wall decals are a great choice, since they can be removed with no damage.
