At Nestasia, we adore the minimalistic trend, especially when it comes to DIY (Do-It-Yourself) wall decor. Why not enhance your space with easy DIY crafts using simple materials you already have at home? The decor you choose for your walls adds a unique vibe to each room, whether it’s framed photos of your favorite moments, minimal art, or paper crafts. These creations not only reflect your personal style but can also create an upbeat, quirky, or classic atmosphere.
Here are 7 minimal DIY wall decor ideas to brighten up your space:
1. Create Framed Art
You don’t need prior art experience to create fun handmade wall art with basic supplies you have around the house. With a little creativity, you can produce pieces that are unique and personal to you.
2. Single Line Botanicals
One-stroke art involves creating doodles without lifting your pen or pencil. It’s a fun and addictive activity, perfect for adding a minimal yet elegant touch to your wall decor.
Supplies:
- Art paper
- Pencil/pens/colored pencils/markers
- No eraser!
This activity is perfect for unwinding and helps you focus your mind while creating beautiful, one-line botanical illustrations.
Tip: Practice a few times before you finalize the ones for your wall.
3. Soothing Strokes
If you want to add some calming art to your space, watercolor strokes are a perfect option. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just beginning, this DIY will bring you peace and joy.
Supplies:
- Card paper or watercolor paper

Let your brush glide across the paper, blending and layering hues to create a serene piece of art. The act of creating these strokes can help lower stress and create a calming atmosphere in your home.
4. Geometric Shapes
Use simple shapes and lines to create geometric wall art. Whether you choose to go bold with contrasting colors or keep it subtle with monochrome shades, geometric patterns can give your walls a modern and clean look.
Supplies:
- Tape
- Paint (acrylic or watercolors)

Tape off areas on your wall or paper to create sharp edges, and then fill the shapes with paint. Play with different color combinations to bring out your personal style.
