The word "gypsy" has come to mean many things, ranging from individuals who move around with no permanent address to the original nomadic people who came to Eastern Europe from India in the 14th century. Gypsy style is defined by brilliant colors and patterns, as well as by bringing different elements together to form a unique look. Create gypsy decor pieces for your own home by recycling items you would otherwise throw out, such as empty picture frames. Does this Spark an idea?
Make a Realistic Dungeon Wall
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.

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.

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.
