Consider floating frames for your kids' artwork, they make it easy to display new masterpieces when your kids bring them home.

Terri Thomas For the past 10 years, I have had just the frame (no back, no glass) creating a gallery template on my wall lining my staircase. I have saved my boys' artwork from pre-school on up to present and change it seasonally. Those months that we don't have seasonal art, I display their works from their school artwork. They enjoy seeing the different projects, but mostly, being 3 boys, they tease each other about how their art is better than their brother's. (I initially did this so I didn't have them all on my fridge or in my kitchen.)

Consider hanging pendant lamps instead of table lamps—they are more kid-friendly.

Bookshelves aren't just for books. Brightly colored bins are perfect for storing toys as well.

Make a room multipurpose by creating zones like this family's basement with space for dad and an area for the kids.

It might seem counterintuitive, but curtains that extend beyond the window frame actually let more light in when open.

A grouping of ornamental mirror can have an especially dramatic effect on a dark wall.

Jessilyn Troyer Perfect, I love decorating with mirrors.

Engage visitors immediately by creating an eye-catching wall display. Here, extra pieces of wallpaper are framed eclectically.

Georgia Gutierrez It would be nice if you could get your hands on one of those outdated wallpaper sample catalogs... That would be amazing for this project. Some wallpaper companies will send you samples before you commit to what you want, BUT they are usually pretty small.

Georgia Gutierrez Maybe you could find cost effective pieces on eBay or Etsy.

Laura Lobdell - Printed Hues There is always wrapping paper or scrap booking paper if you can't get your hands on wallpaper samples. There are also plenty of stores out there that sell art papers in single 30x40" sheets. They come in beautiful prints, and you can find many for $5 or less per sheet.

Profile picture of Not Inadequate Deb

Not Inadequate Deb I have done lots of arty things like this with handmade paper - you can find it at art supply stores. Some of it is quite exquisite.

If you don’t want the hassle of cleaning a runner in your hallway, paint one on the floor instead.

A runner draws guests into your home. Keep it clear of the furniture so the space has a feeling of openness. And don’t let it extend the entire length of the hallway: You want to be sure that the front door can open freely.

When buying wooden outdoor furniture teak and eucalyptus are best because they resist water naturally and won't need to be resealed every year.

No need to invest in an extra set of cushions—bring throw pillows from your sofa outside. Just make sure you've cleaned the chairs first.

Most solar lights last for 4 hours, so if your gathering will go longer, have a back up plan.

When using string lights outdoors look for a tag with the UL seal to ensure that product was tested for outdoor safety.

Rosie Grabowska That is to say, if someone out there likes this look I envy their ease in decorating. But wouldn't say it "doubles as artwork."
