Bring The Outside In With A Stunning Floral Bedroom DIY

Bedrooms are the perfect spaces in our home to add a little romance and glamor. This includes incorporating materials like wood, glass, and crystal, as well as sumptuous textiles and bedding. It's also a room where, if you have a large bed, space can sometimes be at a premium. This means you need high-impact, stylish décor that has to pull its weight in a room where too much can look cluttered. Instagram DIYer @texturaltouches recently showed off a beautiful way to create a simple floral wall installation using chicken wire and bunches of artificial flowers  

The result is a rich botanical feel and the glam room of your dreams. This customizable project can be scaled easily by the size of your chicken wire pieces and shaped to your space. Chicken wire is inexpensive at home improvement and farm supply stores. You can get bunches of fake flowers to create inexpensive wall art at Dollar Tree and craft stores like Michaels.

You will need a fine gauge chicken wire — one with enough bend that you can shape it easily to fit whatever space you are adding flowers to. Attach your pieces of fencing to the wall with finishing nails placed every few inches. Create curves and valleys in the wire to make your flower wall more sculptural and natural. Once you have installed your chicken wire, begin adding branches of flowers or greenery into the gaps. While larger bunches will fit through the holes and stay put, you may need to use some floral wire or hot glue to keep smaller pieces in place. Continue filling the wire framework until you've reached the desired level of coverage. 

While the tutorial above creates a beautiful wall of cream-colored florals in a neutral room, you can also create it in brighter shades to add more color and texture to the space. You could also add other elements in with the flowers, like faux birds, butterflies, or berries. Use branches of plain artificial greenery to create a natural look, or form a wall made of evergreen or boxwood as part of your holiday décor. 

While shown here in the corner of the bedroom, it would work equally well on a column, the wall above the bed, or woven above or around the fireplace. Use it as a way to fill blank corners in tight spots like entryways, stair landings, and other places where potted plants may not work. You could also create the installation outdoors on a fence or wall to add lushness to your garden in spots where real flowers won't grow. Place it on a porch or around your door for an arbor that lasts all year long, then switch it out with seasonal florals and evergreens.

This technique also makes a stunning decoration or photo wall for parties and special events. You could even wrap the chicken wire around a tree in your yard to create a beautiful climbing path of flowers for a dream backyard wedding.
