#8. Painted Basket Display
Get some old, thrifted or cheap flat baskets and paint them to create something artistic and funky. Three in a row or 12 made into a beautiful arrangement, get creative and do whatever takes your fancy.
#9. Thrifted Mirrors
Just like thrifted frames, thrifted mirrors can really add an extra spark or vibrance to your boring walls. Paint the mirror frames different colors or paint them and sandpaper them down to give them an old rustic finish.
#10. Preserved Plant Display
Preserve flowers and leaves by pressing them in between heavy books. Create a nice art display by placing them on simple backgrounds and framing them.
#11. Wall Planters
Instead of displaying your small plants in regular old pots, display them with wall planters instead! This would be nice for a kitchen or dining room wall. Place fresh herbs or other small plants into the plant pots to create a fresh and aromatic wall display.
These are some wonderful, cheap and easy to implement wall decor ideas. Everything is $50 or less, perfect for anyone who wants to live in style without breaking the bank.
