This $4 home decor hack is the secret to modern patterned walls

If you have $4 and a knack for DIYs, you can do this easy decor hack. A genius viral TikTok is making the rounds, giving people a new way to decorate their walls without wallpaper or paint. The simple, removable trick will leave you with a luxe home look for mere pennies. The tutorial in question, created by TikTok user @gabbydancerwoodle, shows her personal wall decor, which is an arrow-like black and white pattern. As she explains in the TikTok, Gabby actually created the “wallpaper” using electrical tape. She simply marked out a pattern, cut the tape and placed down the pieces at an angle. The TikTok has been ‘liked’ more than 109,000 times, providing an inexpensive way to decorate a wall. Plus, electrical tape is easy to remove and won’t damage your walls, making it perfect for a temporary look and super easy to fix if you mess up. A roll of vinyl electrical tape is less than $4 at retailers like Home Depot, making the decor hack super budget-friendly. And while you may only be used to black electrical tape, brands actually sell vinyl tape in every color of the rainbow. Finding a shade to match your home decor is virtually guaranteed. As long as the pattern you choose is created using lines, you can recreate it with electrical tape on your wall.
