Homemade Art For Your
Vacation Property

Take the plunge and create 'homemade art' for your vacation property.

No matter how hard you try, sometimes you just can’t find exactly what you want so why not add a little more of your personality to your vacation home and create your own art that will be the exact size, shape and colour you want and co-ordinate beautifully with your furnishings?

Trust me, you wouldn't want me on your team in a game of Pictionary - you wouldn't have a clue what I was drawing!

If you can't find what you are looking for in the shops, have a look at some of our ideas for do it yourself art.

Have you decorated a room and got spare fabric left over? Have a look at our ideas for using fabric to create stylish and co-ordinating wall decor for any room in the house. This is particularly useful if you have decorated a bedroom and have spare bedding leftover from a bed in a bag set.
Pop into your local art supply store or shop online for artist's canvases. Use leftover wall paint on canvas for cheap and cheerful paintings for your vacation property. Don't worry if you aren't a talented artist - give it a go anyway.

Want to do something now but haven't got a canvas to hand? Paint with wall paint directly onto a wall for stunning homemade art that is fun and easy to do - get the kids to help! My daughter loves this idea!

Got some great photos of the local area? Use them to make a stunning and unique picture mosaic.

Get down and dirty with the black stuff and chalk it up to experience. That's all the clues you're getting from me... but this is a fun and functional idea.

I bet you’ll feel proud and you'll be surprised how much fun you can have with canvas, paint and a roll of masking tape!!
