Maybe it’s time for you to take a little ombre inside your home?
Ombre is usually made from one hue, but when one color is mixed with another one which complements it, magic happens. Try this on home fabric decorations like your curtain or your bed sheet.

Another twist you can do with ombre is to transform the pattern horizontally and repeat it. You can achieve this panache exceptionally well on your wall tiles on your kitchen or your bathroom.

Another method of effortlessly achieving ombre flair is through painting. You can choose a base color and mix in white paint. Adjust the amount of added white paint that you add to each color “spectrum”.
You can paint cabinet drawers according to color intensity.

Or your wooden walls.

Or even the exterior of your house.

For your ombre DIY, you can play with two colors when you’re painting on a house item like your heater.

Another style which will work for ombre designs is pattern. Pick a pattern and style it ombre. In no time, you’ll get the minimalist elegance that you’re yearning for.

If a room is too boring, make it a little quirky by integrating the ombre effect in modified geometric patterns like zigzag wall patterns.

Ombre can be further made more appealing through experimenting with the materials used. When ruffled strips of cloths in ascending color intensity are sewn together, a divine home décor your friends will be jealous of will be created.


Another fun DIY is an ombre chandelier or lamp. Get some paint chips, cut them out – in a round pattern using ordinary scissors or a fancy one (to have that pastry edge effect) – and string them in together. You can directly hang it as a chandelier or you could place a bulb in the center to convert it into a lantern.


There are lots of ombre pieces readily available online or at your furniture store. Get ombre switch covers and throw pillows and place them in your home. You’ll see how a simple ombre touch can instantly transform the entire look of the room.
