A Finished Look Use acrylic or oil paints to stencil around your room. Stencil at chair rail level or around the perimeter of the wall meeting the ceiling. Stencils are an inexpensive way to give your room a finished look. Stencils are available in many themes to suit every room in the home. Freshening The Space Paint your room.
Light colors enlarge an area while darker shades create a warm and cozy effect.
Brightening The Room Plants and fresh flowers brighten any room. Wall vases enable you to display flowers without affecting available table space. Updating Furniture Update a piece of old furniture by painting it a light color. Once dry, sponge paint in a light taupe or soft shade. Or, try a crackled wood finish to obtain a weathered, country look.
