If you asked me what I thought was the biggest way to impact a room’s look, I’d say one word: paint! Painting is fairly easy to do, inexpensive, and comes in so many choices, so it can really transform a room’s look. Of course, if you’ve ever spent time debating paint colors and trying to pick one out, you know that it can be a nail biting experience some times. One cool tool to make things easier and find color inspiration is Glidden's My Colortopia Show Your Colors Gallery. The gallery has user submitted before-and-after painting projects to really demonstrate how paint can transform a room’s look.
One of my projects is even in the gallery! The very first project we took on when moving into our house was repainting our powder room. The previous owner had painted the bathroom a bright electric blue color and to make matters even worse, the walls, ceiling, and back of the door were all painted the same terrible color. You know, so the room really felt like it was about to close in on you! We repainted the room ASAP, but interestingly enough we stayed in the blue family- this time it was just a much softer and more elegant shade of blue.
You don’t have to go far to see all of the before-and-after projects featured on Show Your Colors, just check out the widget below! It’s full of great paint transformations and inspiring projects. Scroll through the photos below to see the projects. You can even submit your own photos.
Have you done any painting projects recently? Do you have a go-to paint color or palette of colors you like to use?
