Look far beyond the framed photo the next time you need to spruce up a room. Many of these unique, do-it-yourself art ideas put a new spin on the way simple, organic pieces are used, adding new dimension to blank walls and the spaces they enclose.
Above: Bring the seaside indoors: flat beach stones aligned along a mantel make for peaceful decor.
Above: We love the use interesting use of particle boards that interior designer and stylist, Maria Helgstrand, incorporated into her Copenhagen home.
Above: No longer just for above, ceiling medallions also impress on walls.
Above: Showcase some interesting frames by including a piece of glass instead of a painting or photo. As shown in this home seen in Time Out Chicago (left), and this loft by Qb3 Design, the look is clean and minimal and brings a reflection of light into a space.
Above: The ultimate organic home accessory: natural tree branches. This affordable element results in a serene moment in any room.
