Ever stare at that blank wall in your living room or bathroom and think, “This space needs something fun!” But then, after daydreaming about all the possible Pinterest-worthy ideas, you remember that time is something you never have enough of. Don’t worry! You don’t need a full day (or week) to turn that plain wall into something fabulous. With these quick and quirky wall art ideas, you’ll be channeling your inner artist and transforming your space in just two hours. Ready to get creative? Let’s go!
1. The Power of Painter’s Tape: Geometric Fun in No Time
One of the easiest and quickest ways to create a bold statement is with painter’s tape. Yes, that same tape you use when prepping for a bathroom remodel or painting walls. Painter’s tape isn’t just for protecting your trim—it’s a secret weapon for DIY wall art. First, choose a section of your wall where you want the design to live. Use the tape to create geometric shapes—triangles, squares, or even hexagons. Then, pick a few vibrant colors that speak to you (or that match your bathroom tiles, if you’re into that coordinated vibe) and paint the shapes inside your taped outlines.
The beauty of this project? There’s no such thing as mistakes! If your lines aren’t perfectly straight, or your color choices are a little wild, it’ll only add character. And once you pull the tape away, you’ll be left with sharp, professional-looking shapes that can instantly brighten any wall. Plus, it’s an excellent project for anyone who’s short on time. You can finish a whole wall in under two hours, and the end result is so chic you might be tempted to do this in other rooms (maybe that bathroom needs a little geometric pop too!).
2. Framed Fabric Art: No Sewing Skills Required
If you have leftover fabric from that recent bathroom remodel project (think curtains, shower curtains, or even towels), don’t let it go to waste. Turn it into a stunning piece of wall art that will add texture and color to your room. All you need is some fabric, a frame, and about 30 minutes.
Start by finding a picture frame—either one that’s collecting dust in your garage or pick up an inexpensive one from your local store. Cut your fabric to fit the frame, then simply place it inside. Done! You can create a series of framed fabric pieces to display together, giving you a cohesive yet unique look that reflects your personality. You can mix different patterns for a quirky effect or use the same fabric for a more streamlined appearance.
This idea is especially handy if you’re in the middle of redoing a room. It can tie together the colors or materials you’ve used elsewhere. Imagine this: after a small bathroom remodel, you’ve got some lovely leftover curtain fabric. Why not bring that same pattern into your bedroom or hallway with this quick fabric-framing trick? It’s eco-friendly, budget-friendly, and, best of all, time-friendly.
3. Watercolor Wall Prints: Let’s Get Messy!
For those of you who love a bit of creative freedom, why not make some abstract watercolor wall prints? This DIY wall art is not only quick but also incredibly fun. Even if you’ve never touched a paintbrush in your life, you can still nail this project (and you might get a little messy in the process, but that’s part of the fun, right?).
All you need are some watercolors, watercolor paper, and a few frames. Grab a palette of your favorite colors—bonus points if they coordinate with your existing décor, like in that new bathroom remodel you’ve been working on. Then, start painting! There are no rules here—seriously, just let the brush flow. Splash on some color, blend, and layer until you’re happy with your masterpiece. You can go for soothing blues and greens, create an ombre effect, or just make random shapes and swirls that give off artsy vibes.
Once your paintings are dry, pop them into frames and hang them up. You can create a gallery wall of several small watercolor pieces or make one large statement piece. Either way, this project will bring color and life to any wall in under two hours. And the best part? If you decide you don’t like one of your paintings, you can just start over without wasting a whole afternoon.
4. DIY Quote Art: Words of Wisdom on Your Wall
If you’re someone who loves motivational quotes or has a favorite saying, why not turn it into wall art? This DIY project is perfect for those lazy days when you don’t want to get too messy but still want to accomplish something creative. Plus, you only need a few basic supplies—cardstock, a printer, and a frame.
Start by selecting a quote that resonates with you. It could be something inspiring or funny, depending on your mood. Use a free design tool like Canva to create a beautiful design featuring your quote. You can play with fonts, colors, and layouts until you’re happy with the result. Print it out, pop it in a frame, and voilà—you have a personalized piece of art that speaks to your soul.
This project is incredibly versatile and works in any room. Imagine a calming quote like “Relax, it’s just water” hanging in your freshly remodeled bathroom. Not only does it make you smile, but it also ties together the theme of your space. Or, if you prefer something more playful, you can opt for a cheeky phrase like “Splish, Splash, I was Takin’ a Bath.” It’s fast, easy, and fun—just like all the best DIY projects should be.
With these quick and quirky wall art ideas, you can transform your space in less time than it takes to watch a movie. Whether you’re decorating a newly remodeled bathroom or giving your living room some love, these projects are designed to be easy, enjoyable, and totally doable—even on a lazy day. So grab your paintbrush, scissors, or printer, and let the fun begin!
