Whether you're building a haunted house, constructing a theatrical set, or you just want to give your family room the old "medieval jail cell" look, you can construct your very own realistic dungeon walls without ever touching brick or mortar. The size of your walls may vary, but the easiest way to create them is in pieces -- this ensures that your dungeon wall panels fit into any space without being too heavy, large or unruly.
Make Quote Letters for a Wall
Making quote letters for a wall is an inexpensive way to display a particular phrase you're fond of or a quotation that's meaningful to you. Although stencils or self-adhesive quotes are widely available at home decor stores or online, they may not have the exact phrase you desire. Making quote letters only takes a couple of hours, and the supplies are relatively inexpensive. It's also an effective way to add interesting or inspirational quotations anywhere in your home.

Decorate Around a Pool Table
Purchasing a pool table and setting it up does not automatically constitute a game room worth hanging out in. Decorate the room around your pool table to create an ambiance that you want to linger in. For example, create an upscale gentleman's club where men can mingle, smoke cigars, drink champagne and enjoy a good game of billiards. Create a vintage arcade feel if that's more your style. Or decorate your billiards room to resemble your favorite sports pub and ensure your buddies will enjoy hanging out at your place instead of the local pub. Does this Spark an idea?
Create Foam Wall Decorations
Foam wall decorations are a great way to add some cheer to a room. This is especially true for children's rooms. By creating your own foam wall decorations, you can save money as well as customize the decorations to meet your child's favorite animals, toys or even cars. It can become a family project and you can get input from your kids on what decorations they might like best. Some of the easiest wall decorations are teddy bears and balloons, and the patterns use simple circles and ovals to complete.
Hang Up an Airplane Propeller as a Room Decoration
Airplane propellers make unusual decorations, particularly if they are old, wooden propellers of the type used on biplanes. Some of these propellers are 8 feet long and can make a dramatic, oversized visual statement in a living room. Be sure to attach a large propeller to your wall securely so there's no way it will fall off. A propeller crashing to the floor would present a potentially lethal hazard and is not the kind of impact you're looking for. Does this Spark an idea?
