5 Weird Ways to Paint a Room That Stray From the Traditional

Whites may be the most popular paint colors in the United States, but did you know that 58% of the population are sick of it?

There are more interesting colors than beige, and more ways to paint a room. Find your inspiration and make your own mark on your home!

Read on for 5 creative paint ideas that will liven up your life!

1. Stripes

A simple way to add to your rooms is to use stripes. Whether on a feature wall or the whole room it is sure to be eye-catching. Horizontal, vertical or even diagonal – stripes can fit your preference.

Stripes between 4-12 inches work well. Too small and it can make the wall too busy. Too large and it can look heavy and confused.

Ending on an odd number of stripes is a good way to tie everything together.

2. Waves

Waves are a great and simple way to add some creative flair to your rooms.

Waves allow you to use different colors to create a unique pattern that will draw the eye.

Freehand allows for more creative input. You can vary the thickness of each wave and have varying widths within the same wave at different points.

If you created this pattern with your very own hands and imagination, it is going to be a one of a kind showstopper!

3. Creative Painter’s Tape

Painter’s tape can create a more toned down design.

You can use it to create a few lines here and there rather than a full wall.

For a softer and more organic look, you can tear the tape. This will create more interesting jagged lines.

For a unique take on a half-wall design, break up the middle of the wall with ripped tape with different colors above and below.

4. Stencils

Stencils can be a great cost effective way to get a custom wallpaper look with paint.

Stencils and stamps come in a variety of shapes and sizes. You can bet that no one else will have the same look as the one you have created.

If you don’t find any stencils or stamps that you like, you can always make your own to give it a personal touch.

5. Honeycomb

For something completely out of the box, try a honeycomb design! This style requires more time and skill but is sure to be unique.

Use painter’s tape to create a hexagon on the wall. Then mark horizontal lines at the height you want each hexagon to be. This will help when making your pattern. Use a template hexagon to place against the lines to make sure your pattern lines up.

Your tape lines will go through the center of some of your hexagons. Use a penknife to cut away the tape in the middle that you do not want.

This may be too complex for your painting skills, and you may need professional help. SurePro Painting is more than capable of fulfilling any painting job. No matter how weird!
