Any professional or amateur interior designer will tell you that the most dramatic change you can make in a room is to repaint it; as a bonus, it’s one of the cheapest ways to make a big change in a hurry. Especially when compared to other changes that you can make, paint makes a huge impact at a very affordable price.
A Fun Way to Decorate on the Cheap
There are many ways to update or redecorate a room: You can buy new furniture or accessories, change your window treatments or go for a new style of wall decor. However, all these methods can involve considerable expense and time spent searching for just the right items to achieve the look you’re after. With paint, however, a can or two of a fresh new color and some inexpensive tools are all you need to get the job done. Although painting does necessitate an investment of time and effort, it can be a fun way for a family to spend the weekend. Or, throw a painting party, buy a few pizzas and invite your friends to help out.
Or, Add Drama in Small Doses
If you’d rather not paint all the walls in a room, you can add drama just by painting the lower half of your walls; install a decorative chair rail, or use a wall paper border to divide the space with bands of color. You can also choose a focal wall for a dramatic shot of color that coordinates with the predominant wall color.
Another option is to paint the moldings and wood work: Choose a clean shade of white to add contrast. Alternately, paint your woodwork in the same hue as the walls to add a contemporary feel to the room and make your furnishings stand out.
You can also create accents with paint. Add a pin stripe of color just below the ceiling or around windows, or create a painted ‘frame’ around your wall art to give it dimension. Paint a mural on the wall in bold geometric shapes by using blue painters tape to create blocks of color. Painters tape can also be used to add stripes to a wall that adds nautical impact; you can also choose two barely different colors and add a traditional twist that mimics high end wall paper. You can even paint swirls and abstract flourishes to add interest wherever it’s needed.
The Great Advantages of Using Paint
Few decorative materials are as versatile or come in as wide a range of colors as paint, so it’s easy to find shades that will match or accent your decor. Paint can be used for a unifying effect if you choose a shade that pulls all the color elements of the room together. Paint can also be used to make a favorite furnishing stand out: A tomato red couch will come alive against a gray wall, where it will just exist in front of white wall.
Of course, one of the greatest advantages of paint is that it’s easy to paint over the existing color when you tire of it or decide to go with a new style. It’s much easier to repaint that it is to remove wallpaper and less expensive than buying a couch.
