Decorate with color: paint walls and furniture creatively

Light bars, colorful stripes, blurred contours: you can bring walls and furniture to life with brush and paint.

Expressive

Paint a single wall in mocha brown or eggplant. Brush five broad strips of paint with irregular edges on them. Tip: Use pictures by painter Mark Rothko as a color template.

Archaic

Warm clay tones go well with wooden furniture made of oak & Co because they visually ground the room. If you then work in a lot of a darker natural tone with wiping technique, a great additional effect is created.

Versatile

Paint a wall with graphic patterns: make triangle stencils, get started. Then paint matching inexpensive furniture with a retro look: orange, pistachio green, pink.

Creative

Combine the beautiful with the useful: paint a tree crown on the wall in the children's room. A brown shelf is leaned directly below - this looks like a trunk and also creates storage space.

Stacked up

Cheeky boxes: Color the inside of fruit boxes colorfully. Then nail the boxes side by side and one above the other to the shelf. Dowel on the wall or screw legs underneath.

Numeric

Open spaces can be embellished with decorative number games: prime the wall, sketch the number and colorize with a steady hand. Letters or words can be painted on the same principle.

Striking

For a change, do not dive the entire room, but only door reveals, doors or individual wall sections in color, e.g. orange and yellow: When you pass by, they wake you up in a good mood.
