Create a family wall tree

This is such a unique idea that will really put some wow on your walls. Take a look at this photo from Pinterest. Essentially, it is a painted tree mural, and once dry you simply hang your family photos amongst the trees branches, making a beautiful family tree! Since we are not all artists, you may need to hire someone to paint your tree. Another, slightly more expensive option, would be to search online for a large wall sticker – the kind that are easily removed and do not damage the wall. However, a wall sticker of this magnitude will be costly – it may be less expensive to hire someone and get a more realistic effect via a painted wall mural.

Your painted tree can have leaves; numerous branches; birds perched in a nest; and even the ever popular owl hooting from a branch. Use your imagination to make the perfect tree to display your favorite family photos. Also, don’t be shy to mix up the frame sizes, colors, and finishes – this will give a time-worn and well-loved look to your family history.

Adorn your tree with removable flowers.

As well as photos, you could add extra items to your trees branches. Adding silk flowers on the tips of the branches in the spring will make a lovely seasonal aspect to your tree. Flowers can be added with two-sided tape and easily removed once spring is done. In fact, you can add to your tree whatever the season! Think about stringing lights on the wall, making your tree lit-up for Christmas and adding a glow to your family photos.

Whatever design you choose, it is time to get those photos out of that shoebox or off of your computer and have fun making your own family tree this weekend.

Window treatments have come a long way from just covering a window for privacy while adding visual interest at the same time. Curtains are most commonly used to keep sunlight in or out while also adding privacy, but there are also other creative ways to use curtains. Fabric and textiles are a beautiful way to add height in a room when hung closer to the ceiling, they make a bedroom look more romantic when hung around a canopy bed, and they are a simple way to separate a studio apartment that needs distinct areas within a room. Here are some inspiring ways to make your curtains brighten your interiors.

Use curtains in non-traditional ways:

While curtains are beautiful at your windows the material can be used in several unconventional ways. Order online curtain fabric and use as beautiful wall covering in place of wall paper. If you are handy with a staple gun and batting, consider making an upholstered headboard for your bed with curtain fabric. They also make a beautiful backdrop on the backside of open shelving or inside of a hutch or bulletin board in your home office! Curtains can be used for more than just windows.

Use curtains outdoors:

Most people think of curtains for only inside your home but curtains have become popular in outdoor applications as well. On your patio, lanai, or even to keep the sun out of your sunny deck, all-weather curtains are a great idea. Ensure that the fabric you choose can hold up to climate changes, and especially harsh sun rays. There are several brands online that will help your outdoor home look and feel as beautiful as your interiors!

Curtains are a beautiful way to soften your interiors but they can also be used in a myriad of options. Try a few of these ideas out in your home inside and out. You will be surprised how curtain fabric is versatile and beautiful when you add it with your creative decorative touches.
