There are a lot of people that have the same problem, but some have found ways around spending huge amounts of money. By just adding a little bit of DIY to your walls, it can make your house feel like a home.

Cardboard – A lot of people are making fancy cardboard furniture strong enough to hold up a person, but if you’re just looking to decorate, you can make anything you want and replace it with the real thing later!

Pixelate – A little bit can go a long way. You can pixelate any image and use small squares to create an image. You can use small squares like the ones you find for paint samples or create your own.

Rasterbate – Have a photo on your computer that you wish you could decorate your wall with? Rasterbate it! This turns your photo into multiple pages so you can display it on any empty wall.
