4. Yarn art, Why not? If you are looking for a more country/hippie look this is for you. You would need to search for a nice stick in a park nearby, and cleaning thoroughly after, but that is the difficult part. For the rest just find some colourful yarns and get some inspiration.

5. Oversize image: I am sure you have seen the trend of wall gallery, with a images compositions. However, if you have one photograph that you love, or an illustration that inspire you and make you happy, why not use all over the wall? Go big or go home! Go to your local printshop and ask for the bigger size, or check through Redbubble for a big wall tapestry.
