Refresh Your Room with Paint

Nothing is as transformative for a space as a fresh coat of paint. This essential step in the interior and exterior decorating process provides limitless possibilities with paint colours, finishes, and overall looks. The Home Depot carries a wide selection of paints and coatings to choose from, including acrylic paint, oil paint, and latex paint.

5 Tips for Decorating with Paint

Use Chalkboard Paint to Create a Command Center

An accent wall or portion of an accent wall painted with chalkboard paint provides a fun and versatile way to track the family schedule, make running grocery lists, or jot down notes in a home office. Chalkboard paint doesn’t have to be black, this effect is available as a mix-in that can be used with your choice of paint colour to create a fun and functional space. This project is a great kitchen paint solution and can even be applied to the cabinets themselves.

Spray Paint Decorative Objects and Small Furnishings

Any decorative accent can look like new again with a few coats of spray paint. Plant stands, small tables, vases, and even sculptures can be transformed with a little imagination and a few dollars worth of paint. Use fun pops of colours, especially in children’s bedrooms and play areas.

Give Your Garage a Fresh Finish

There are an array of paints and epoxy finishes designed specifically for use on concrete floors, such as the garage. These paints can eliminate old oil stains and provide a finished look to the space. Their easy-clean finish makes them a great choice for finishing a workshop or concrete patio.

Stain Furniture for a Cohesive Look

Old, scratched furniture or a tired deck can get a brand new update by sanding down the finish and adding a new coat of Varathane wood paint or stain. When furniture is sturdy and solid, refinishing the piece can breathe a new life into the furniture. If you are staining something that will be placed outdoors, look for coatings that will protect the piece from the elements.

Repaint Doors and Trim

When you are repainting the walls of your home, don’t forget to include a coat of paint for the doors and trim. This easy but important step will help complete the room with bright contrast. The entry door of your home also provides a great opportunity to introduce a fun accent colour.

You will discover paint, stain, and varnishes from all the top name brands, such as Rustoleum, Behr Paint, and Valspar, at The Home Depot. Their colour match service makes it fast and easy to draw out a hue from your favorite fabric or home accessory. Bring in a shower curtain to get an exact match for your bathroom paint or use a stuffed animal as inspiration for a child's room.
