Today, we’re excited to share an updated list of renter-friendly DIY’s with you. We’re going to focus on the important things—like minimizing nails in the wall, using color and texture to maximize your space, and more. Let’s get to it!
Hang Wall Decor with Command Strips or Hooks.
Command Strips (or hooks) work like magic—they are our go-to when we want to avoid nailing into a wall. They have different sizes depending on the weight of your decor—perfect for renters (and homeowners!).
One of the most cost-effective ways to add a large art print to your space? Have an engineer print made. Have your favorite photo printed at your local Staples or online. And, adding a frame is easier than you think—here’s a DIY tutorial.
We have a digital print shop with lots of cute options if you’re looking for more ideas.
If you can’t change the paint color of your walls, add a large statement weaving instead. Emma’s faux weaving DIY and Elsie’s large-scale braided wall hanging are both easy options, and the kind of projects you can make while watching your favorite show. 
Mirrors can make a room appear larger, so the more the merrier! We love how these copper mirrors and this flower mirror only require a few supplies and steps.
Place a framed art print like this on a mantle (or on a piano like this) instead of hanging it on the wall. You could also frame a wallpaper sample like Laura did here. 
If you don’t have enough space to make a gallery wall, you could always make a mini version like Elsie did above Looking for more ideas? Here are five more ways Elsie displays photos in her home.
A photo that doubles as a giant dry erase board? Such a cute idea for a kids room.
