DIY Decor Projects Inspired by Your Favorite TV Shows
Turn your living space into a tribute to beloved TV series with these easy and creative DIY decor projects. Ideal for fans, renters, or anyone who loves whimsical home styling, these ideas bring the magic of the screen right into your home.
Photo Coaster Set
Channel your inner Monica by crafting coasters featuring iconic Friends quotes or images. Print your favorite lines on waterproof photo paper, cut to coaster size, and seal with resin or Mod Podge. Mount them on cork or tile. They’re practical, pop culture-ready, and perfect for a Central Perk style coffee table vibe.
Mood Light
Create a retro mood light inspired by Stranger Things. Paint the inside of a glass jar matte black, add miniature Christmas lights on a string, and tuck in some fake moss or wires. The result is an eerie upside-down aesthetic. Display it on a shelf for spooky appeal with tailored charm during binge marathons.
Egg Vases
Embrace your inner Targaryen by making dragon egg vases worthy of Daenerys herself. Paint blown-out eggshells metallic (gold, bronze, or silver), glue dragon scale patterns with hot glue, and varnish them for a glossy finish. Turn them into small vases or candle holders for a subtle, fandom-infused tabletop accent.
Element Wall Art
Bring your chemistry obsession to the wall with Breaking Bad periodic table art. Frame a poster or squares featuring Br, Ba, He, and other elements. For a craft version, print them and mount on wooden blocks, then seal with clear gloss. It’s geeky, modern, and makes for a conversation-starting accent above your sofa.
Floating Shelf
Calling all Star Wars fans. Convert a simple wall shelf into a “Baby Yoda” style Mandalorian helmet display. Paint the shelf matte black, then add a small cozy nook for your favorite Grogu figure. Accent with faux steel brackets or metallic tape. It’s functional, stylish, and uniquely fandom-inspired decor.
Quote Print
Channel your inner Dwight Schrute with motivational wall art. Pick a famous quote like “Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.” Choose bold typography, print it on quality cardstock, and frame it in a sleek black or wood frame. Hang it somewhere you want a smile or a shift. Your home office or dorm wall deserves a touch of Dunder Mifflin humor.
Coffee Bar Sign
Craft a wooden sign for your coffee bar reading “Luke’s Diner” or “Coffee is for Closers.” Use a laser-printed stencil on wood, paint it distressed, then sand lightly for a cozy rustic look. Add hooks or shelves beneath to hold mugs and stirring spoons. Perfect for channeling Stars Hollow charm in your kitchen.
Magnifying Glass Doorbell Frame
Celebrate your love for mysteries with a Victorian-style magnifying glass frame for your doorbell or light switch. Gather an ornate thrift store picture frame, paint it metallic brass, and glue a magnifying glass ornament on top. Paint the edges with antiquing glaze for a quirky and fun touch Sherlock would definitely approve of.
Bring TV Magic Into Your Space
With just a little creativity and a few budget-friendly materials, you can turn your favorite TV moments into fun, stylish home decor.
