The Fab TV 'DIY Chic and Easy Room Decor' comes from the posh blog 'Fabulous on a Budget.' The sites curators focus on affordability and style, making it an appealing online stop for women in search of wardrobe revamps, cheap cosmetic looks and [at-home overhauls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/westchester-family-home).

This DIY Chic and Easy Room Decor clip deals with the [expansion of small spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-xxl). The barren quarters are updated with an ivory canopy, held up above windows with the help of a few simple hangers.

Strings of black pom poms are used to line the light fabric, adding dimension and funky notes to the awning. [Orchids, books and family photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stofa) provide the final touches, tying the accommodations together quite nicely.
