If you are like me, it’s likely that you have a few half cans of paint laying around waiting for some potential DIY projects or for touch-up paint jobs down the road. Here are my top ways to get the last drop out of that paint can and into your home in a fun and creative way. Read on but be warned, you will want to grab a paintbrush and get to work asap on a new project!
Ready to get started?
Dip Into It
Use color in a fun and unexpected way by giving furniture the dipped look. While this may be something you have seen before, the possible combinations are endless.
Ombre
Whether starting from the top, the bottom, the left or the right, ombre is a look that is here to stay.
Pump Your Stairs Up
Incorporate an ombre effect as mentioned above but on your stairs. Alternatively, break out some painter’s tape to create a pattern of choice!
Half Way
Can’t commit to an entire wall of color? Go half way, and don’t even worry about making a clean line!
Splash on walls
Even in black and white, a touch of paint can be as bold as you desire.
Painted Furniture
Create patterns, or just go wild; don’t be afraid to let your personality come through.
Painted Doors
Create an element of surprise in doorways or on the door itself!
Painted Headboard
No headboard? No problem! Anchor the bed by creating a faux headboard with the use of paint. Whether painting high or low or painting a unique shape, the possibilities are endless.
Painted Bookshelves
Give a dull bookshelf a pop of color to bring a space to life.
Painted Rug
Create a faux rug or runner, or add your own touch to an existing one.
Are you ready to use up that half can of paint in your manicured home?
