Tired of your drab home décor items? Don’t buy new! Just paint the ones you have for a completely new look on a budget. This option is great for those of us who are budget-conscious or have just moved to a new apartment and are craving a new look. Read our tips below for getting the most out of all your painting projects.

To Begin

Be sure to choose the right paint for the surface you are working on. There are special paints for terra-cotta, glass, plastic and more. Read the label on the paint and be sure you are choosing the proper type. Then follow all directions on the label once you get started.

Slightly More Sophisticated

Grab a stencil to get a finished look with very little effort. You can find pre-made stencils at your local home improvement or craft store in a variety of styles. Pick one you can use on a variety of surfaces around your home.

Trash To Treasure

Recycle wood and other materials into budget-friendly home décor with just a little paint. Old pallets might even be found in a trash pile to make a sign. There is never any scrap wood! That pile is just projects waiting to be made.

Simplify, Simplify

Add an accent piece to any room with just a little paint. You may not want to add gold to every room, but a small accent piece will look amazing in one room.

Something Old Mixed With Something New

Sometimes the entire piece does not need to be painted. A natural-color piece can benefit from just a small area being painted, like the handles or drawer fronts. In this case, we added the stencil in white while leaving the rest of the piece stained. For another example of this, look to these hand-painted utensils. Get creative with your paint projects!
