Did you just finish painting your room and you’re left with an opened bucket of paint? These DIY projects use paint for wall art, furniture, and accent pieces.
Upcycled Furniture
Hit the thrift store and get some furniture to upcycle. Just repaint it so it matches your decor.
Baskets
Get creative with your baskets by adding polka dots, stripes, or even cute animals. This works great when you don’t have a lot of paint left—remember a little goes a long way.
Shelves
Give new life to boring white shelves or storage space by adding a dash of color. Just add two coats of paint and top it off with a coat of clear wax or matte varnish.
Vase
Have fun with vases by creating foliage or cactus designs. If you mess up, all you have to do is scratch the paint or wash it off and start over.
Wall Art
You don’t need to be an artist to create a striking masterpiece. If you want to create something unique, try using a spray can, to get an abstract piece.
Curtains
Update plain white curtains with fun designs of your choosing. You can even paint on clear shower curtains!
