Home Interior Design: Easy Paint Projects That Don't Include Walls

Paint is such a powerful design tool to use when it comes to transforming the look of your home. With just a can of fresh paint and a paint brush, you can make your space look like a completely different room - and we are not even talking about painting just the walls!

Here are easy paint projects that don't include walls that will greatly boost your home's appeal according to Realty Times:

Paint your cabinets

Your kitchen is probably one of the busiest and most-used spaces in your home, and if you spend a lot of time in this space, wouldn't you want to actually feel good working in a nice looking space? Just by changing the color of your cabinets into something that pops and vibrant, you will also instantly enhance the mood and vibe of your kitchen. Paint them with a bright orange or a fresh green color which are perfect for the function of the space.

Paint your doors

With your walls staying white or any color, choose a color for the doors which will make them pop out from the vast blank space. Go bold with this and you will see how much character it will give your room.

Paint your furniture

Who doesn't have a ratty piece of furniture in the garage that is only waiting for some TLC so they can again become your favorite home accent? It could be an old dresser, a stool made of wood, a coffee table, a stand-alone open shelving... what they need is just a fresh coat of paint in a vibrant and lively color like peacock blue to deserve a spot in your home again.

Paint your moldings

Moldings are usually used not just for design, but also to actually frame the space or room. So instead of having them in a boring neutral color, go bold and go for a color that will make a good contrast with the walls such as red or green. Not only will the space look and feel more stylish, you will also enhance the purpose of the moldings in defining the space.

Paint your trim

"Painting your trim is one of the best ways to make a dramatic impact in your home's appearance," said Bob Vila. "For best results, start painting from the corners, using a brush to work your way into small or tight areas."

Paint your ceiling

Do you want to have that wow factor in your space? Then draw the eyes to the ceiling by painting it with a contrasting color with a unique finish and it will sure call attention and add interest to the space.

Paint your floor

Give your worn out wood floor a new life by going for a whitewash and a rustic finish which is a huge trend in home design these days.

"Painting older solid wood floors can give them new life without the expense and mess of refinishing them," said Houzz. "It can also make your floors a beautiful design element in their own right, particularly with interesting patterns."
