LARGE WALL DECOR IDEAS
DIY LARGE FRAMES
We made these gorgeous large frames out of plywood and 1 x 1s! We simply painted the plywood and nailed on the frame. These feature some of Sam’s original work, but you could get creative with what you do with yours-even some of your own original, contemporary art 😉
WALLPAPER
Try framing some wallpaper! You could also use a really large section of wallpaper, but instead of spending tons of money on a large frame, make one from trim molding!
USE A SHARPIE
Another great way to DIY a large piece of art–paint a large piece of wood and then use a sharpie paint pen to make circles. Doesn’t get any easier than that! Check it out here!

Canvas can be expensive, but if you can get some for a good price, its very easy to paint a simple design. I absolutely love how this one turned out! Or, you might even be able to find some at a thrift store, like the one below! She even teaches you how to repair dented canvas!
