Create Neutral Botanical Wall Art: DIY Step-by-Step Guide

Thanks to the fact that our master bedroom has a huge floor-length mirror (a surprise wedding gift from John so I could check my dress before slipping out the back door to get married)…

…the second mirror to the right of the bedroom door felt redundant.

We took the chance to replace that mirror with one of our homemade botanical prints in an affordable Ikea frame. I like it so much I’m thinking of adding another frame below it with a different botanical—just waiting for our next trip to Ikea to make it happen.

We sized our DIY botanicals to fit these square Ikea frames for a luxe, budget-friendly effect. A touch of nature lifts the bedroom, and the best part is not having to worry about watering it.

Maybe it’s the bulbs pushing through the flowerbeds or the forsythia beginning their annual show, but I felt like switching the art over my desk to something less wintry. We had a favorite photo from our Alaskan honeymoon—taken from a tiny seaplane window as we flew over a glacier dusted with volcanic ash. It’s still one of our most cherished shots, but with spring in the air I wanted something brighter and leafier.

So I did a quick two-minute swap and hung another botanical we made. The lighter, leafy vibe feels perfect for the season.

How about you—has spring fever prompted any changes in your home? Do you swap out art or accessories when the seasons shift? Share the ways you welcome warmer weather into your space.

We also added our den’s corner office area to the room-by-room source guide so you can find where we sourced everything from the boxes and tins to the desk and lamp.
