In an age when all design solutions already seem boring and a little fed up, making a picture on the wall with your own hands means finding an opportunity to stun your guests and make them admiringly look at the creation of a talented owner. However, experts insist that even talent is not strictly required, because the main thing is desire. Everyone has the right to a zest in the interior, and the fact that you can make it yourself allows you to save a lot - it’s even strange that this technique has not yet become universally popular.
The idea of putting pictures on the walls is attractive enough to play a bad joke on the interested person. The owner of the premises, having heard about the unique opportunity to quickly, inexpensively and creatively decorate his home, can take rash steps - for example, make pictures inaccurately or use the first idea that comes across instead of the one that would turn out to be ideal.
You can't do that. Failure in this matter can greatly disappoint an unlucky designer, and it is possible that he is really a talent, he just does not suspect it himself. The idea of a creative work must necessarily be nurtured for a long time - until all the details of its implementation seem obvious, and the idea itself becomes a familiar and integral part of the future implementer.
Remember that masterpieces are created only when the creator has a clear idea of both the work process and the final result.
Methods for making paintings
Once upon a time, paintings meant mainly painting, but if we are talking about a design element for a wall, then there will be much more options. There will be no usual paints applied to paper here - everyone can guess to draw a picture and insert it into a frame. We will try to analyze only those solutions that look fresh, and at the same time they can be made by hand.
Finished fabric paintings
This method does not involve any fine art at all, except, perhaps, the correct compilation. The picture does not have to contain a clear plot and meaning - you can make a chic abstraction by simply hanging three pieces of fabric of the same shape and size stretched on the base next to each other, which would properly harmonize with each other.
If the fabric already contains some images, then this can be used additionally to create some kind of meaningful composition. Making these with your own hands is not at all difficult, here it will be harder to choose a good combination in such a way that it leaves a lasting pleasant impression. You can depart from the triptych proposed above - individual fragments of fabric may have irregular shapes, intertwine or be combined in any other way.
The main feature in creating paintings from fabric is the ability to choose the right combination, in accordance with the rules for combining colors. Embroidery
This method is fully consistent with the wisdom that everything new is just a well-forgotten old. In the old days, women decorated their homes in this way, but today this tradition has been largely abandoned - and in vain: with proper execution, embroidery looks very attractive. Of course, only a real needlewoman can do such work with her own hands, but literally any plot can be depicted. If the author also dreams of getting married, then her work, hanging on the wall in a frame, will tell a lot about potential candidates for husbands invited to visit.
Paintings in 3D
And who came up with the idea that the wall should be flat? We propose to make a real three-dimensional image out of it with our own hands, the features of which are conveyed not only by paints, but also by bulges and depressions!
Such work will be more difficult, more time and effort will be spent on its implementation, but the result will definitely be unusual! And you will need to do the following:
- On the wall that you plan to decorate in an original way, draw the outlines of the intended pattern with thin pencil lines. It is advisable to immediately evaluate the sketch from different angles of view and from different distances, show it to several people for an objective assessment and immediately correct it if there is constructive criticism.
- In an oilcloth bag, collect a sufficient amount of putty and tie a container by making a small hole in it. With an impromptu putty gun, circle the outlines of the drawing so that the drawn lines become convex, thanks to the added layer.
- Wait for the material to dry and harden, and then use a small knife to carefully trim the volume contour. If the drawing is complex enough, you can highlight both the contours and the internal details with irregularities.
- Since the resulting surface will not only be convex, but also very rough, use sandpaper to achieve smoothness. Do not choose a coarse-grained option - it will only damage the results of creative work. It is best to give preference to the smallest grains used for final grinding.
- Mix gouache with liquid PVA glue - so it will be much more resistant and durable. Use a brush to color the image as you intended at the planning stage.
- To complete the picture, its borders can be marked with special baguettes, which in this case will play the role of a frame.
colored paper
Such a solution threatens to be short-lived, but it is easy to do it yourself and then periodically renew it, introducing additional elements. The idea is extremely simple - silhouettes are cut out of colored paper according to the template, for example, butterflies, which are freely glued to the wall using ordinary PVA, or simply pinned. Cut out figures can be additionally decorated with intricate patterns. Ideally, the figures should differ in shape and size, and maybe in color. It is best to combine opposite shades, for example, black with white or red with blue.
For the wall near the stairs, figurines imitating a kitten captured in various playful poses on different steps are perfect.
Twine as a tool in the hands of the artist
It's amazing, but you can make beautiful decorations for the interior even from an ordinary rope! Only a gifted person can make such a picture with his own hands - artistic vision and great patience are needed here in order to fix the rope in a vertical position in the required form. You can set the shape in any way - both with hot glue and with hidden thread fasteners. The resulting product is attached to the wall either with the same glue or with hidden studs.
Twine paintings look unusual and stylish, so this wall decor option definitely deserves attention. Three-dimensional paintings with appliqué elements
You can make a picture with your own hands, which will combine both painting and applicative creativity. For this you need:
The value of this product will be all the higher because, despite the availability and prevalence of all the materials used, not so many people can create such a masterpiece, simple in its genius, with their own hands.
Option for the laziest
In the end, there is a way to create a wall picture that does not require any talent, or any skills, or even effort at all. All that is needed is to find the desired image on the Internet in high resolution and print it on a printer. Next, the resulting printout is inserted into a frame purchased in advance in the store and voila - cheap and cheerful!
Having decided on the style, you can begin to select materials for the future work:
- Paint and canvas.
- Cardboard, designer paper, magazine clippings, old photos.
- Textile, leather, ribbons, braid.
- Glass or crystals.
- Buttons.
- Dried flowers, shells.
Advice! Do not throw away old children's drawings, shreds of fabric, magazines, decorations– all this can become part of the picture. Keep them in a separate box, periodically reviewing and arranging among themselves.
We draw with paints
The easiest way to create an original painting for the interior with your own hands is to paint it. The theme is limited only by the imagination of the creator. Even in the absence of artistic skills, a masterpiece can turn out: use abstract techniques, study master classes and photos of finished works.
Oil, watercolor, acrylic paints will become faithful assistants in creating a picture for the interior. As a basis, you can use both a professional canvas and plain thick paper or a primed board.
Advice! Inspiration can be drawn from nature if there are picturesque places near the house. If you are not lucky with the place or the weather, feel free to draw your household, pets, fruit compositions - whatever. The accuracy of reproducing reality does not play any role, the main thing is to approach the process with a soul.
Modular paintings are suitable for almost any room: from cuisine before living room, but it is important to select appropriate images. If you don’t have time at all to create a masterpiece with your own hands, then we have good news for you - today you can buy them in any specialized store!
Photo printing
The technical side of the issue is taken over by a photo workshop, which can print a suitable image on almost any basis: canvas, paper, ceramics, etc. These can be ordinary posters with the image of interesting places, people, ornaments.
Advice! The poster is not just a picture, it must carry a certain idea, match the interior, the theme of the room and the character of the owners of the house. Recently, pin-up and retro posters have gained particular popularity.
If the poster is large, you can divide the image into several segments and, when combined into a single canvas, beat the joints, making it look like a modular picture.
If there is a child in the house, then you can scan his drawings and, choosing the right ones in color, shape,. A photo of the artist himself can complement such a poster. It remains only to print the poster and place it in a frame that matches the color and style.
Collage of old and new family photos can be hung as a picture in the bedroom or living room, and posters with the image of the relevant paraphernalia, fruits, are suitable for the kitchen. Finally, it is worth noting that it is recommended to choose posters and panels for the kitchen in rich and bright colors, however, no one forbids you to go against the rules and create stylish ones.
Textile
From all kinds of shreds, fabrics with a beautiful ornament, ribbons, braid or lace, you can create real masterpieces in patchwork style with your own hands. Fabric paintings are most often made using the appliqué technique. Dense textiles with a discreet and inconspicuous ornament (stripes, polka dots, etc.) are taken as the basis, and the main elements are cut out of bright shreds.
Most often, kitchens and nurseries are decorated with textile works, since these rooms are characterized by a certain simplicity that is present in the application.
Advice! From felt, flannel and other fabrics that hold their shape well, you can cut fruits, animals, cars, houses. You can safely combine various textures and patterns on fabrics, use braid, decorative cord, buttons for decoration. For the living room, you can make a textile picture of wrinkled silk with abstract patterns.
From buttons
With their help, you can create original things by sewing or appliqué. Often this type of fittings is used to depict leaves on trees. Buttons can be originally glued inside any contour, for example, a silhouette butterflies or cats. In sewing stores, you can pick up details of various shapes, colors and materials and lay them out like a mosaic, according to a pre-prepared scheme. Such works of buttons will fit perfectly into the kitchen, however, they can be used for the living room and bedroom.
Advice! Buttons can be glued around the perimeter of the picture frame, giving it a personality.
Wallpaper and panels
Often, after repairs, large pieces of beautiful wallpaper remain, which will be useful for making unusual interior paintings.
- Framed wallpaper is the easiest option to create something like this. panel. A piece of the desired shape is cut out of the roll and placed in the frame. Moreover, the ornament may coincide with the pattern on the walls or differ from it. Such elements can go in a row of 2-3 pieces.
- Golden paint and a stencil or small black-and-white photos stylized antique will help to revive a boring canvas in a frame. Such pictures from the wallpaper will fit perfectly into
Handmade paintings will perfectly complement any design of a living space. Still, because who can feel and emphasize the mood of the house better than its owners? Executed in a variety of techniques, such details will make even a standard design special, transform an uncomplicated kitchen or hall, inspire bright emotions and bring comfort.
Abstraction
Do you have a lone chair in a rich lemon color in your room? Support the accent with a concise picture painted by yourself!
We are witnessing the triumph of abstractionism, and in most galleries we meet canvases that seem to have come out from under the brush of either a child or a dolphin. So if the difference is insignificant, why not try to write your own creation? Drawing classes bring incredible pleasure, and the result simply cannot be bad or wrong!
A simple and elegant option is a gradient image. You don't need instructions to play it. Allocate a few minutes of your time, stock up on a roller or brush, two paints (main and white) - a few movements, and a bright accessory is ready.
Draw broken horizontal stripes, they will resemble visualized sound waves or complex graphics, and therefore it will always be interesting to examine them. Golden foil or paint will help dilute the severity of the lines. You can leave empty spaces, and strokes should be done in one motion. It is best to combine gold with a white background, as well as contrasting rough materials - concrete or brick.
In general, images can be anything. It is not necessary to draw something intricate - even children's blots, circles and triangles, diamonds and waves, when choosing the right colors, will become real poetry.
Wood paintings
Natural materials are at the peak of popularity. Small wood pictures or huge panels will complete the actual modern interiors in loft, modern, eco, country, rustic styles.
As a base, use thin dried boards made of natural wood or light panels, for example, from plywood. Decorate the bars with stencils, garlands, crystals, paint or give them a fancy configuration.
To bring into the house the atmosphere of a fresh forest will help panels of wood saw cuts. Draw a sketch and get to work. It is best to select elements of different textures and sizes - this will add naturalness to the composition. Sand the sides that will adhere to the base and fix the bars, and leave the front parts embossed. Fix the finished result with glue and varnish for brightness and better preservation.
string art
Carnations and threads - at first glance, not the most romantic and cute items, but they can be used to make very cute crafts. The composition of this non-standard tandem will become the original decor of the room. You are unlikely to find such a picture from someone else - after all, you made it yourself.
Consider creating a product with the inscription "OK". Of the basic materials for its manufacture, you will need: a light wooden board or plywood 50x50 cm; White paint; roller or brush; sketch; small cloves; threads for knitting or embroidery of different shades, close to each other; duct tape; pencil.
If the wood background is uneven, then sand it with sandpaper. Apply paint in long strokes twice. You can vary the sketch yourself or find it on the Internet and print it, group the sheets with a ribbon. Cut off the edges with scissors. Place the stencil on a dry board and secure with adhesive tape. Drive carnations into places with dot marks, starting from the top edge. The important point is that they should be approximately at the same height level and create parallel straight lines. Carefully remove the template and remaining pieces of paper.
It's time to start weaving. To understand where to start and where to lead the thread, refer to the sketch. Tie the silhouette of the letters with black thread. Wrap the first carnation twice and make a knot, and cut off its tip. Each thread will be located in the middle of the nails. Pull the thread and continue to outline the image, making one turn around each nail.
When you have finished with the letters, take the thread away from the last carnation and wrap the other nails around with it. The point is that there is no clear order of the nails here, choose the path of the thread randomly. When one color ends, take another, but close in tone shade. Finally, fill in the void inside the letter "O" and fix the finished composition on the wall.
Pictures from wallpaper
Many beautiful, intricately patterned wallpapers are so expensive that it's easier to glue banknotes instead. We won’t go that far, but using wallpaper as a spot decor is a completely rational compromise. Moreover, beautiful patterns in large numbers can ripple, but we will carefully bypass these potential troubles.
So, patterned wallpaper itself is a finished canvas, so it is enough to place them inside spectacular frames. It is good if the pattern and individual colors overlap with other interior details. Hunt for sales of leftover wallpaper, anyway, one roll will be enough. Moreover, you can purchase several types of this material to create modular compositions.
Pictures from buttons
Ordinary buttons are a very convenient material for creativity. With their help, original crafts are created by sewing or attaching with glue. This technology is universal and suitable for creating unusual paintings.
With fittings, you can “outline” the silhouette of a letter, tree, butterfly, elephant, owl, or any other object that you think of. In a sewing paraphernalia store, pick up buttons in different configurations and colors, and at home lay them out on a template and fix them on a prepared basis. Cheerful works will be a wonderful and somewhat ironic addition to the design of the kitchen, living room or nursery.
Textile
Another extremely easy idea for a quick painting is to take an interesting scarf or piece of fabric with a suitable pattern and wrap it around a wood board. Textiles are fastened with flat buttons or small studs.
Dense fabrics such as flannel or felt can be cut into intricate pieces. Combine different textures, use thematic details - lace and braid, buttons.
Needlework will look best in the kitchen or nursery, as well as country-style rooms, which are characterized by cozy simplicity. Calm motifs are suitable for the bedroom.
stencils
Using stencils, you can easily apply images to any surface. Thick cardboard or plywood is best suited as a base. To make the background look harmonious, to fill it, you need to use a shade that contrasts with the color of the picture. Clear gold or silver patterns on a white background look very original.
Compositions applied with paint can be monophonic and multi-colored. As a stencil, you can take flowers and leaves, a lace napkin. Also use sticky stencils, they will add volume to your picture.
Prepare the base and, if desired, fill the background with paint. After that, holding the stencil, carefully paint over the empty areas.
When the paint is dry, remove the pattern or move it and apply the next pattern using this or another pattern.
Photo printing, framed quotes
The most realistic picture is, of course, a photograph. To make the photos look intricate, arrange them in a spacious passe-partout and hang them in the manner of an exhibition in a fashion gallery. Such an installation will be a great addition to a long hallway.
Another way to hang your shots is to create a structure of mounts and cords. Instead of frames, use stationery clips.
You probably know that photos can be huge. Contact the nearest printing house or photo studio and print out photos of your child, the sea coast, rare black and white photographs or a photo of an ordinary light bulb, in grayscale it will look very stylish.
At the peak of popularity are ironic and motivating quotes. Print several of your favorite sayings at once in an up-to-date elongated font and place them in laconic contrasting frames “for solidity”. Framing will give additional significance to each word.
Eco paintings
In modern design, eco-style occupies one of the first positions in demand. Naturel is made from both live and dried plants. Vertical gardening systems, panels of succulents and stabilized moss will help to revive the interior.
To dry the leaves and flowers, use an iron, press or oven. In summer, you can even dry the parts in the open air. If you want to get a voluminous herbarium, apply express drying, so the vegetation will retain its natural forms. Place the most impressive exhibits one at a time. Iron the sheets between layers of interlining and clamp between two glasses. The decor will look like it is suspended in the air. The beauty of the herbarium is that it is easy to make yourself and update over time.
By the way, real masterpieces can be laid out from dry and fresh objects of botany research. It is not always possible to fix them so that they look as grandiose as you intended, and therefore it is best to try to do something simpler or take a picture of the application and print it. For inspiration, we have selected several pictures of the works of the creative family tandem Vika and Brooke, who lay out unusually beautiful floral portraits from flowers and stems - by the way, without a drop of glue, and therefore they only fix their work on cameras for calendars and other souvenirs.
The original painting, made by hand, in the interior in rustic style
Handmade paintings are ideal for interior decoration, because no one can feel the spirit of the house better than the owners, perfectly emphasizing its mood with the help of appropriate details. Paintings made in various techniques will make even the template design of an apartment individual, refresh a boring living room or kitchen, fill the house with comfort and positive emotions.

Paintings were once a luxury available only to wealthy gentlemen. Everyone can decorate the interior with paintings today. It is not necessary to buy them at all. With the help of available materials and rich imagination, you can make a dozen paintings, even if you are not Modigliani.
1. Geometry
- Geometry is an extremely popular pattern in interior decor today. And it's easy to draw. Having drawn the canvas into squares, and the squares into triangles (we paint the latter as the soul lies), we get a fashionable, stylish and bright picture.
2. Prints
- Playing on color contrasts and using natural “stamps” or stencils (for example, fresh flowers), you can “draw” unique canvases that will definitely be in a single copy. Try to print asters on a white canvas with rich colors - the result will pleasantly surprise even connoisseurs of high art.
3. Stencils
- Any branch can become a stencil for your future painting. Lay it beautifully on the canvas, fill the canvas with spray paint, remove the stencil. And do not tell anyone where such luxury is sold.
4. Fabrics
- However, who said that the picture needs to be painted? A piece of beautiful fabric will not hit the wallet and will become a cozy addition to the interior of a nursery or kitchen, where simplicity is always appreciated. To decorate the living room, choose more expensive fabrics - for example, silk or velvet.
5. Buttons
- Where there are fabrics, there are buttons. In general, buttons are a grateful material. And they are inexpensive, and the decorative possibilities are wide - they can decorate both a dull rag bag and a boring interior. A picture with a button heart will melt this very heart of absolutely everyone.
6. Wallpaper
- Similar to fabrics, wallpapers can act as paintings. It is good if there are several such pictures in a row. A lone piece of wallpaper in a frame looks at least strange. Ornaments and floral prints look great against the background of plain walls.
7. Threads and nails
- Threads stretched over nails look extremely impressive, although it is difficult to imagine more incongruous things. Nevertheless, the paintings from them are masterpieces. The direction even has a name - string art.
8. Modules
- Any "doodles" and abstractions, divided into modules, will look fashionable. Cover several picture frames with fabric, put them together to form a single canvas, make a few careless strokes of the brush, disconnect and hang on the wall.
9. Beans
- You can use natural materials in creativity, including food - for example, beans. Before gluing the beans, paint the sketch of the future picture with paints. Choose a simple plot, use beans in contrasting colors.
10. Branches
- Nature is rich in materials that are widely used in creativity. Dry branches more than once became the heroes of crafts. We suggest attaching pre-painted dry branches to the back of the frame. And then what? All! The picture is ready. It looks no more strange than many world-class paintings.
