Ideas for Interior Painting That Change the Look of a Room
December 18, 2014 By
It’s pretty common knowledge that a fresh coat of paint can do wonders for a room – and at a minimal cost. In fact, when it comes to home improvement projects, painting probably offers the best bang for your buck.
In this post, we’ll go over a few fairly simple paint projects that can totally transform the look of a room.
1. Accent Wall
Instead of painting all four walls of a room the same exact color, many homeowners and interior designers are incorporating the accent wall. An accent wall is basically just one wall (usually the focal wall, or the wall the eye is first drawn to when you walk in the room) that is painted a different color than the other three walls. Some people choose to make their accent wall a slightly lighter or darker shade than the surrounding walls. Others go bold and choose something completelty different. Whichever path you decide to go, the accent wall will definitely give your room a whole new look and depth without a high cost.

However, if you’re not making a point to perform this basic maintenance, these minor issues will likely go undiscovered until they become a big problem. [Read more…]
