Creating interesting, beautiful pieces of wall art does not require that you have a degree in fine arts, or even the ability to paint. Sometimes, unexpected materials can be used to create stunning, inexpensive pieces that add interest and visual effects to your home. Creating DIY pieces of art is also a fun project for artistic families, as everyone can get involved in the process. Many inexpensive materials found at home improvement stores can be used to create an artistic statement. On your next trip to the store, pick up a pack of medium-grit sandpaper, a sheet of aluminum flashing and some paint to create a truly unique piece of abstract wall art. The semi-reflective surface of the metal will also help bounce light around the room, making it feel larger. Does this Spark an idea?

Decorate a Bathroom With Sage Green & Brown Walls
The combination of sage green and brown decor can impart a sense of calmness and serenity to a bathroom, giving it a spa-like atmosphere. Since they complement each other so well, sage and brown are good wall color choices, especially if one color is used for the majority of the walls and the other is an accent color on baseboards and trim.
