There are lots of options for bringing art into your space, and many of them can be done by you as a DIY project, even if you’re pretty sure you lack any artistic ability.
Here are 5 of my favorite ideas for homemade art:
3 ways to make your walls pop
I like walls that make a statement. A great big piece of art or a gallery wall can do this. But if you don’t own great art, you can still create an impactful focal point with these three methods.
Designing a room of one’s own
What if we carve out space for our creative work, for ourselves? Whether it’s a room, a corner, or a desk, having a dedicated space that is set up to optimize creative flow can make the difference between putting off that novel indefinitely or spending an hour on it now.
From dust magnet to showstopper
The problem of letting keepsakes pile up is that they become clutter gathering dust. Rather than reminders of cherished moments (like childhood), they instead remind us–no, nag us–of tasks left undone. If keepsakes are not displayed and seen, they’re not fulfilling their role as prized memorabilia of a precious time.

Several people have asked me about the black and gold tree painting I hung in the DTLA Loft project. I’ve replicated the steps here so that you can follow along and create your own tree painting.
