Giving a room a new coat of paint adds an instant lift. A different color can bring in a different feel, as can different textures. Exploring your options in the way of painting ideas not only allows you to get creative, it also allows you to save money by doing it yourself.

Here are a few unique ideas you can use around the house for instant transitions. Try painting your countertop for a new look. It is common for kitchens to be updated while bathrooms are left behind. Update a tired bathroom countertop with a colorful transformation.

Wash your countertop with soap and water, and dry it with a cloth. Sand the top with 150-grit paper, and wipe your countertop with a damp cloth to remove the sanding dust. Paint the entire surface of your bathroom countertop with an acrylic primer. Make sure you choose a primer that is intended to cover laminate or other high-gloss surfaces.

Once your first coat of primer is completely dry, apply a second coat. When the second coat of primer dries, add a few coats of latex semi-gloss or latex enamel paint in your favorite color. You can then seal it with a couple coats of high-gloss clear acrylic. This method to updating countertops is fast, simple, and much less expensive than changing the entire counter through a contractor.

Painting ideas can include floors

If your hardwood floors have seen better days, apply a coat of paint. With a quick cleaning, you can paint your old hardwood to suit any décor you want. When considering your painting ideas, choose stark white for that summer cottage look, a mild yellow to bring in a little French influence, or choose a shade of coffee to bring out the natural distress marks for a more historical look.

A room of wide-board floors will also look great painted. Go for the beach or cottage look by adding a coat of white paint to bare boards. There is no need to take care with scratches and scuffs, as they will only add to the charm of what’s already there. It is common to paint stair rails, but not everyone thinks to add such creativity to their stairs.

Select a few coordinating colors in your home and add them to the stairs. For creative painting ideas, paint the top of each stair one color while painting the back portion another. Get out your creative side with a multicolored stairway. At first glance, most people won’t even be able to tell it’s paint.

For fantastic painting ideas, consider painting an area rug in a small section of your home. This method is ideal if you have a place that has suffered damage from high traffic or other floor mishaps.

Take a few colors from your room and add them to the floor in the form of an area rug. Implementing your own painting ideas is the perfect way to customize your space while saving a lot of money.
