2018 is only a few days away now and many people have already implemented their new designs for the coming year. With much creativity in interior designing, the design themes have changed a great deal and now you even have options that only look great but provide added functionality as well. With costs of everything rising in the modern day, it is getting harder to keep up for most people and a big chunk of the population is always looking for budget home improvement ideas that bring both great looks and expected functionality at the same time.
Homes have different rooms that must all be decorated with different accessories and design themes. Different rooms in any modern home can all be done under the same design themes and can also have entirely different color and accessory themes when preferred as well. When you are on a budget, creativeness with what you do afford or even some no longer used items can also provide great results. Here are some great budget home improvement ideas that have the ability to make your home just right for 2018 and many years to come after that as well:
1: Funky Hang Plates
Most people don’t think of plates as a great replacement for frame artwork, but they look great when hanged on the right wall in the right way. The designing of the plates matters a great deal in this installation, simple plain plates will just not cut it unless they have some great funky color combinations going for them. If you have a dark grey or any darker colored wall near your dining table arrangement, hanging plates with different attractive designs on that wall can look great.
Plates just go well alongside the dining table arrangement and complete the look to a great extant. Ensure to use multi-colored plates in a good looking arrangement and don’t go overboard with mixing the plate shapes as well. All circular or all square shaped plates look better in a good theme setting.
2: DIY Painted Canvas
One of the easiest and better looking DIY ideas in the modern day is a painted canvas. If you are good with painting you can do the whole process yourself or alternatively getting a canvas fabric printed from your nearest printers or even getting an already printed one and then pasting it on a wooden board is a great implementations as well.
As long as you make sure to match the color scheming of the painted canvas with the rest of the materials and objects around it, the complement it will provide has the ability to look great. On that wooden board canvas, you can further attach some other decorative pieces as well if preferred.
3: DIY Art Frames
Thinking about giving a good old DIY another go? Try DIY art frames. These don’t take much painting expertise and even your somewhat messed up ones can go on the wall when framed appropriately and beautifully. Make sure to use a clear quoting that covers the art piece as well because these will be very easy to smudge and stain.
The best thing to do with the frames is to have large bordered frames that highlight the art work done by you in the most beautiful way possible. The wider borders of the frames will make the art colors stand out without letting them flush out with the wall designs and colors.
4: Frameless Mirrors for Different Rooms
Wall Mirrors have been used in different rooms of houses for decorations as well as their functionality for as long as anyone can remember. Different designs of them with and without frames have been made use of and their designs have evolved greatly with innovations and creativity in mirror manufacturing processes.
Frameless mirrors on walls shaped in those futuristic styles and even 3D designs look great on their own and also provide focal points on the walls. Living rooms can make use of the 3D mirrors or even frameless mirrors in different shapes and bedrooms are more confined to the traditional shapes of mirrors because they are also used for dressing up in them unless you have a separate dressing room of course. In 2018, wall mirrors when done right, have the ability to complement your designs perfectly.
5: Natural yet Functional
Natural materials like real wood extracted from that backyard tree are great options but trees and other organic things should only be cut down when their life cycle has ended. Cutting out wood boards from that tree and polishing them to look great and making a very functional display cabinet is a great idea indeed. You can hang your frequently used clothing with your favorite books and magazines in the top shelf as well.
This will save you a lot of money and is one of the better DIY projects for your 2018 re-design. Keep it away from a wet wall for longest life out of it.
6: Fake Painted Bed Headboards
Beds are only as beautiful as their back side headboards and those headboards cover most of the bed costs as well. There is an easy DIY around those costs when you are on a budget however. Painting a headboard shaped designs on the bedside wall and placing the bed adjacent to it can make it look like the real thing.
You can just frame out a headboard shape or go full out with a fancy great looking headboard painting design depending on your painting and drawing skills.
7: DIY Broken Portraits
Broken portraits are very much an art as any other art can be. Art no longer has to be handmade and you can DIY a broken portrait to charm up your living or bed room wall perfectly. Get 3 equally sized wooden boards and print a large sized portrait that matches their equivalent size. Place the portrait on the boards put together bottom side up and mark exact cutting lines.
Cut the cutting lines and paste the precisely cut broken portrait on each of the boards. Hang them in their respective order with a slight gap between them to show that DIY broken portrait off beautifully.
8: Glass Shelving Made from Recycled Glass
One of the most functional interior decoration items are glass shelves that can add beauty and charm to your rooms as well. If you have a large piece of laminated glass lying around in the store, cut it up in smaller shelving and attach them on the walls in your bathrooms, bedrooms, living rooms or any other rooms where their need might be.
These will provide you a great place to place all your frequently used items and decorations along with them as well.
9: Memories on That DIY Family Picture Wall

You and all of your loved ones will be well charmed and happy to see themselves on your happy wall. Make sure to frame them in contrasting colors to the color of that particular wall for them to shine through the design efficiently.
