Very few things can cramp your home's style more than a bare wall. Art is often the remedy, whether it's the perfect gallery wall full of prints and sculptures or large wall paintings and framed photographs. The only problem, though, is that you'd often pay a lot for an oversized piece of art. Not willing to part with that much cash just for impressive art décor? There are plenty of budget-friendly alternatives that you can DIY to create your own large, elegant piece of wall art that elevates the entire space — the best part? You'll only need a few inexpensive supplies to create this massive décor piece that will look great in any room.

For this project, you don't need to be a professional artist. And while this is a relatively uncomplicated process, it helps to have basic woodworking skills. You only need a few items to create your own DIY wall art, including a large piece of plywood from Lowe's, DTmasao circular wood dowels, wood glue, your choice of paint, and Jolie wax stain. And, instead of dropping a few hundred or even thousands of dollars on fine art, the total for this project comes out to be just under $100, according to the creator of the DIY.

Using a circular saw, cut the plywood into a 4-foot by 7-foot piece, but you can adjust the size to fit a specific wall or open space in your home. Next, cut 48 dowels down into one-inch pieces. Using textured paint, limewash the piece of plywood to create that natural, organic texture. You can customize your oversized art by playing around with different paint finishes, such as opting for Roman clay instead of limewashing the plywood to get the same natural, organic effect. Next, pre-stain all of the one-inch dowels before going in with a wood stain finish. These round dowels become the focal point of the piece. Using smaller additional dowels, you'll then glue them onto the larger dowels to raise them off the plywood board. Rather than circular shapes, you could also cut thin dowels vertically to create a subtle fluted texture, if that's more appropriate to the style of your space. Consider different types of paint textures and techniques, such as playing around with a variety of brushes and tools to create your own masterpiece. For the frame, stain the timber pieces with wood finish and then apply them to the larger piece.

The result is a stunning, oversized wall art piece that looks effortlessly designer — but without the hefty price tag. Organic textures and an earthy color scheme make this a beautiful statement piece for spaces within contemporary, modern, minimalist, and midcentury-modern styles. Hang your piece in your living room as a statement piece, in a large hallway, or in the bedroom for a sense of luxury.
