DIS-organized design: how to easy design your room

REgular old recycling: except this time its on your wall
<><>


My walls can quickly turn into an assortment of newspaper cuttings that are turned into wall collages. Anything goes really. Colors, black and white. The adds for clothes and jewlery have the biggest color schemes so that is usually where I get my materials from. Life sections have intereseting graphics, magazines have the glossy paper, art magazines have pictures of art, and national geographic has the best landscape/animal/people/star scenes. You get the picture?


If you have blank walls but you read magazines, newspapers, or anything with pictures....start cutting them out for easy decoration. I always like to take out articles too if they were a must with the picture.

HIGH times DIY inspired Wall Collages: How to home interior design

A lot of time is spent these days in-house. Laying on your couch, laying on your other couch, laying on your bed, horizontal sitting at the dinner table, you get the picture right? Relaxing is my lifestyle motto and usually that involves a computer for some tunes and a comfortable place to crash. If I want to be relaxed I make a point to change my environment to achieve that.

In my room, in my college dorm room, in my now apartment I found myself spending a lot of time in the living areas and so changed them accordingly. The easiest way to do this was some magazine material (i.e. glossy colored paper) and some glue sticks. I did not major in art, but I consider it one of the ways in which I spend most of time during off hours or in between work.
