A Blank, Boring Hallway’s Colorful Glow-Up Only Cost $100

Tracey says on Instagram that all the little hallway needed was a bit of TLC in the form of paint, a plug-in pendant, an oversized vase, and artwork. The artwork is a DIY; she painted it on canvas using leftover black paint. All together, her hallway revamp cost £80, or about $100.

“Paint your own artwork!” Tracey advises. In fact, she advises giving painting a go in general. “Try using different paint effects, and step outside your comfort zone,” she says. “You get an amazing sense of achievement when you do, and it saves you a fortune.”
