(1) Decorate a pillow.

Seriously, this could not be easier.

In our guest room, I bought two plain green pillows at IKEA for about $5 each. I added royal blue ribbon (to coordinate with the guest room wall) with Fabri-Tac fabric glue. Bam. Done in a few minutes and I have custom pillows!

You could also write on them with a sharpie or, if you sew, attach ribbon or other embellishments that way. I can’t sew, so glue is my go-to fabric attacher!

(2) Make a chalkboard.

You can make a chalkboard out of any surface!

Paint your backsplash

Or use just a piece of plywood:

My go-to chalkboard paint is this one from Rust-Oleum – it covers the best in fewer coats!

(3) Paint an accent wall.

It will take you less than a day to paint an accent wall.

But the impact is huge!

Paint a solid color, like I did in my guest room, or paint a mural if you’re feeling creative.

(4) Hide the cords.

If you have an IKEA (or similar) basket and some annoying cable or power cords, this is the project for you!
