1. Horse-Stencils
A Beautiful Mess created something quite offbeat and funky with the help of some custom horse stencils. Just think of all the possibilities that could stem from this idea.

11. Handwriting
A Beautiful Mess created this handwritten piece and not only is in artistic but it’s a great way to make a room pop without too much fluff. I first saw this post when moving into my own home and it inspired me to do a version in our breakfast nook!

This pop of color does this room a huge service in remaining neutral but trendy. Check out how it was made over at Lady.

All you need here is a stencil to start the job. We love the subtly here and the sophistication. The bit of sparkle is a hit in this project from Stencil Stories.
16. Wooden Chevron
We can’t help but gush about this genius – and small – accent wall from Iron & Twine. We love the trendiness of the chevron pattern paired with the coziness of wood!

We love simple stripes, especially when they leave a space feeling a bit romantic. Which is exactly what they do in this project from Live Love DIY.
21. Stretched Diamonds
The Frugal Homemaker made this stretched and elegant diamond accent wall inside her living room. And we’re in love with this chic style.
