Paint a Shape
-
When repainting a room, a person should pick a wall they will consider their accent wall. Then, on that wall, they can draw a shape of their choosing---perhaps a square or diamond---and then paint in the shape with a coordinating color. The rest of the wall can be painted another color. This is an easy way to create your own artwork on the wall. The shape can be outlined with molding to give it a more finished and professional look.
Paint Countertops
-
Redoing a bathroom can often be expensive and time consuming, especially considering how much it costs to replace countertops. One way to add color and dimension to the room is to paint the counter, instead of replacing it. Observe what trends are currently popular with counter laminates, and paint it a similar color. It is important to remember to coordinate this color with the color of the walls---and even a person's skin tone, as it will reflect in the mirror. When painting a countertop, also remember that a color that is popular today might not be popular in 10 years, so choose colors wisely.
