Start with a hobby or artistic endeavor that you’re interested in. You could take photos or paint something and have your artwork framed. If you like to cross-stitch or punch needle, you could hang the pieces you’re most proud of in a mini gallery.

Macramé is popular right now. You could learn this new skill and create a wall hanging. If you like to work with wood, you could build a floating shelf, shadow box, or rack with hooks.

Get creative with your wall art so that it serves two purposes. It could be a custom piece, used for its beauty, but it could also include a wall clock or place to hold a plant. Now your decor is both pretty and functional.
