Your home should be a place in which you love spending time, which is why people spend so much time decorating. Painting the home is a great way to freshen up tired looking surfaces and add a touch of your own personality to individual rooms.
No matter whether you are looking to change things up in the living room, bedroom, or the kid’s room, a coat of paint will always help to change the mood and style. So, here are a few home painting ideas to get you off and running.
Accent Walls
Sometimes we don’t have the time to paint or we fall in love with a particular color which might be a bit too much on every wall. In both cases, creating an accent wall is a fantastic way to add a touch of color, and there are almost unlimited colors and styles to choose from.
Some people like to go for stripy colors or use patterns, while others like to use colors which complement artwork and mirrors. Whatever look you go for, an accent wall will add style and class to any room.
Get in Touch with Your Creative Side
Home painting is a great way to be creative, and there is no end to the things you can do with some paint and some simple tools.
Murals are a great way to decorate any room in the house, and there is absolutely no limit to what you can do. If you do not feel confident enough to paint an entire wall, then add some simple stencil designs like trees or animals to a small part of a wall
Geometric patterns are becoming increasingly popular for feature walls. This style adds a lot of character to the room and can add a lot of personalities, especially if you go for some lively patterns and colors. We particularly like this style in home offices and bathrooms.
Add Texture
Adding different textures to walls can create a unique feel to any room, and it can be quickly done with specialized brushes and rollers.
Marbling, streaking, color washing, rag rolling, and sponging are all techniques which add unique textures to walls around the house. These techniques are great for feature walls in the bedroom, bathroom, and the living room.
Another fashionable look this year is shading, also known as ombre, which involves painting different shades of a particular color onto the walls. It creates an excellent color spectrum and looks very classy in the bedroom. It also makes it really fun to accessorize the room where you introduce this style.
This Season’s Colors
The summer brings to mind fresh, light colors, and this season’s colors are no different. Ice cream colors can add a touch of vibrancy to walls, doors, and pretty much any room you can think of.
Vibrant yellows, greens, and light pastel colors will help to breathe some fresh air into living rooms and bedrooms alike. Turquoise is also very trendy at the moment and works really well combined with murals in the bedroom.
