Enhance Your Home Decor: 5 Fun Painting Projects

Undertaking a home makeover can be daunting, but it is possible to have jaw-dropping results with relatively minimal effort. Try tweaking your interior design style one room at a time. Paint is every home-decor enthusiast's best friend and there are countless ways to achieve dazzling impact with a little bit of color. Here are five of our favorites.

1. Ah, the front door. The first thing you see when you come home, and the last thing you see when you leave. So why would you neglect it? Set the personality for your entire home -- and make a confident statement to guests -- by painting it your favorite high-gloss color.

2. You can go from boring, ordinary bedroom wall to bright artsy statement in two easy steps. Step one: Paint the wall backing your bed a stand-out color. Step two: Choose a lighter shade and stencil on your very own one-of-a-kind headboard.























3. Searching for an area to add interest? Look up! The ceiling is the most neglected area that packs the biggest punch. Paint a bright, bold color to bring the eyes up. Or, go for broke and create a look-at-me centerpiece of crisp stripes.

4. If you want to add impact but can't paint your walls (darn rental restrictions), you can still get a big bang for your buck by finishing an old piece of furniture in a bright glossy coat.











5. Want to go that extra mile? Then cover extra ground -- literally. Painting your floors a glossy sheen or a punchy pattern may be a big undertaking, but it will definitely have a huge impact.
