Painting your own decorations is inexpensive and will add a personal touch to a child's playroom. Painting by freehand involves drawing objects onto the wall without the use of stencils or templates. It doesn't cost anything extra, but you need basic drawing skills. If you don't have these skills, using an overhead projector is great for tracing images onto a wall. However, you will need to borrow, rent, or purchase a projector. Whichever method you choose, this project can be done in as little as a few hours for small paint projects or a weekend for more elaborate decorations. Does this Spark an idea?
Hang Wall Decor
While methods for hanging varying kinds of wall décor differ by décor type, you can still follow some general guidelines for successfully decorating your walls. According to a post at Apartment Therapy, you should hang wall décor at 57 inches, which is the "average human eye height." The center of the object should hit the 57-inch mark. Don't limit yourself to only hanging pictures as wall décor. You can hang baskets, bowls, plates or other flat-backed objects neatly on your wall, as long as hanging hardware is attached to the back.

Find Metal Wall Decor
Decorating your home usually begins by painting your walls. Because walls collectively represent a large portion of your home's surface area, the paint's color and texture will help to create a specific mood in each room. You also can enhance the room's mood with metal wall décor. Metal wall décor can include forged iron twisted into crazy shapes; metal wall sculptures made from steel; and metal wall plaques made from sheets of steel cut into geometric shapes.
