No matter how much we may love a space when we first see it, whether it's our home or the office, eventually our surroundings can start to feel a little stale. It is, after all, human nature to crave visual stimulation and novelty! That being said, it's not usually practical (or feasible) to completely revamp our decor every time we feel uninspired by our environment. Fortunately, often all it takes is a subtle change here and there to make a space feel fresh and exciting again! Whether it's a statement-making wall hanging or a dreamy bunch of throw pillows, the little details make all of the difference. These five decor DIYs are fun to make and will instantly take your tired space from blah to brilliant!
