How to Elevate Your Home Style: 5 DIY Projects Inspired by the Met Gala 2025

Inspired by the lush floral motifs seen at the Met Gala, creating a faux peony arrangement is a simple way to add vibrancy to any room. Begin with a selection of faux peonies in varying shades and sizes. You'll also need a stylish vase, floral foam, and wire cutters. Trim the stems to your desired length and arrange them within the foam-filled vase. Experiment with different color combinations and arrangements until you're satisfied with the result.

The Met Gala is all about sparkling details and this DIY project brings some of that dazzle into your home. Using a diamond and rose-shaped ice mold, create an ice sculpture centerpiece. Be sure to use distilled water for a clear finish. Arrange your diamond and rose ice shapes in a glass bowl and let it melt slowly. This will create a dynamic centerpiece that's always changing.

Artful frames can turn photos into statement pieces. Inspired by the intricate detailing and bold colors at the Met Gala, you can create your own picture frames. Purchase plain frames and decorate them using acrylic paint, sequins, or fabric. Whether you choose a monochromatic look or a mix of vibrant colors, these frames will enhance your favorite photos or prints.

Redesign your cushions inspired by the elegant outfits at the Met Gala. You will need fabric (try luxurious materials like silk or velvet), a sewing machine, and matching thread. Measure your cushions and cut out the fabric accordingly. Sew the pieces together, leaving a small gap to insert the cushion. Once done, sew up the gap and you've got a brand new glamorous cushion cover!

To honor the "Tailoring Black Style" theme of the Met Gala 2025, consider creating tailored wall art. Using black fabric, cut out shapes or patterns that are meaningful to you. Arrange these cut-outs on a canvas and secure them with fabric glue. Once dry, hang this personalized art piece on your wall.
