Breath new life into your bedroom!



One of the easiest, most wallet friendly way to transform your bedroom is with paint! Bored in the bedroom? Try painting the ceiling in a dramatic swath of color. Try a deep shade of sage or even a bluish gray color, depending on your color scheme Looking for romance? Try one of the metallic paints that are available by Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams. The light that reflects off this metallic finish is soft and seductive.


Paint an accent wall!

Painting an accent wall in the bedroom is something anyone can do. I love to use the wall behind the bed as the prime location for this. You can paint it simply with a color that is two shades deeper than the main color in the room. Or be bolder by using one of the many stencil patterns that can be found online. Global themes are on trend right now, and a moroccan pattern is really easy to achieve and will really add a pop of pattern to the accent wall. Painting horizontal stripes on the accent wall is a great way to play with scale. I like to tape off 18" stripes horizontally and then paint alternating tones of one color on each strip.

Transform your bedroom quickly and affordably!




Paint an old side table in a high gloss black. Instantly modernizes any style. Really gutsy?? Paint an old wood floor instead of refinishing it. Check out the local paint supply store for the best paints to use and the proper way to prep the floor.





Why these projects are a great idea!

Any of these projects can be completed in a day or a weekend. Paint is a fun way to explore color and a way to create a new mood in the bedroom. It's affordable and easy to redo when you want to make another change down the road.
