Are you getting an itch to redecorate? While going under a full remodel can be quite the undertaking (both financially and emotionally), there are other ways to refresh your space and revamp home décor.

Paint is one of the easiest and quickest ways to transform your home. If you’re in need of a pick-me-up, try one of these simple and inexpensive painting projects for a fresh look.

1. Trim
Consider painting your trim with a dramatic pop of colour. The contrast between a neutral wall colour and a sharp trim colour is quite appealing to the eye. If you’re daring, try red for a big pop. Black is also a great shade to create contrast. To create a crisp clean line, you’ll need high quality painter’s tape and a good angled trim brush.

2. Wainscoting
Wainscoting traditionally brings warmth and elegance to a space using wood panelling on the lower portion of a wall. To get the look on a budget, try painting the top portion of a wall a different colour from the bottom to create the illusion of a wainscoting pattern. This is

the perfect way to do so without paying the extra cost of the material.

3. Accent Walls
An accent wall can be a powerful design choice in any space. By adding a boldly painted accent wall such as stripes or stencils to an unexpected space, your design personality will shine through.

4. Colour Blocking
Colour blocking is when you paint one wall in a room a different colour than the rest. This trick adds dimension to your space. Draw from the pop of colour and include it in other décor and design pieces within the room to give your space an instant refresh.
