Easy Painting Projects to do Whilst at Home

Tired of staring at the same plain walls? Dreaming of ways to reinvent your room? Then have a little browse below for simple paint ideas that will totally transform your space. From headboards to reading nooks, discover clever ways to change the look and feel of your home.

 

Arches

We’re totally obsessed with these simple painted arches. From elaborate grand doorways to accentuated furniture pieces with decorative shelves, these clever designs can help spruce up small pieces of furniture and can also be used to create an interesting focal point in any room.

 

 

Painted Shelves

Another seriously easy and effective addition to the home is the painted shelf. There’s no need to clutter up your room with another bookcase or clunky piece of furniture. Simply put up your own floating shelves and make a centrepiece out of them by painting the wall into the shape of a shelf or bookcase. If you already have a recessed nook, then why not paint the inside in a dark shade to draw the eye in and make your books and decorative accessories really pop.

 

The Half Painted Wall

Originally added to home in the form of panelling, the half painted wall is now widely seen painted on smooth walls for a contemporary feel. Seriously stylish, the half painted wall can be accessorised in a modern or traditional way to suit any interior scheme. We love how adding paintings, decorative plates and a shelf across the two-toned walls cleverly integrates them together to create a cohesive interior.

 

Painted Headboards

Perfect for the modern abode, why not get creative with these funky painted headboard ideas? Ideal for beds without headboards, or with a contemporary minimalist shape, simply paint a circle, triangle or rectangle in a colourful shade to create an instantly fun focal point!

 

Geometric Shapes

Painting vertically or diagonally instead of horizontally draws the eye up, making a room feel taller than it is. These funky designs are fab for bedrooms where a little personality can be added to your space. A variety of pastel colours work well, or if bold colours are more you, then stick to one or two dark colours and add light into your space with a balancing neutral shade.

 

Scalloped Trims

Super cute for nurseries or hallways, the scalloped trim wall is so simple yet so effective. A delicate and pretty effect, especially in pastel hues, the scallop detail adds interest to a plain surface – you just need to make sure you’ve got a steady hand!

 

Brush Stroke Walls

The brushstroke wall is a fun one to create. From small strokes in considered lines to sporadic blotches of bold colours, there’s a variety of ways to be creative with paintbrush or sponge techniques to create a fun wallpaper effect without all the hassle!

We hope we’ve inspired you to get creative with paint with these simple, yet seriously effective updates!
