Indoor Paint Projects for Your Home | DIY Painting
Looking to refresh your home with a little color? Painting is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to transform a space. In this guide, George walks you through some creative indoor paint projects, key tips for success, and the must-have supplies to get the job done right.
Why Try an Indoor Paint Project?
A fresh coat of paint can change the entire feel of a room—whether you’re adding a bold accent wall, refreshing trim, or creating a fun space for kids. With the right tools and prep, you don’t need to be a pro to achieve a polished, professional look. Plus, HomCo carries high-quality Valspar paints and offers expert color matching, so you’ll always get the perfect shade.
Indoor Paint Projects to Get Started
#1. Accent Wall
- Create a focal point in any room by painting one wall a bold color.
- Experiment with geometric patterns, sponge painting, or stencils for a custom look.
- We like to use Valspar paints for high-quality, long-lasting color.
#2. Revamp Kids’ Rooms with Fun Paint Effects
- Chalkboard Paint: Turn part of a wall into a drawing space for kids. Available in brush-on and spray options.
- Glow-in-the-Dark Paint: Add a magical touch with glowing accents like stars, door outlines, or shapes.
- Geometric Designs: Use spray paint and masking tape to create unique, colorful patterns
Essential Painting Tips & Supplies
Prep for a Perfect Paint Job
- Clean the walls to remove dust and grease before painting.
- If painting over a semi-gloss or glossy surface, lightly sand for better adhesion.
- Use primer to cover dark colors and create a smooth base.
Painter’s Tape: Blue vs. Orange
- Blue Tape: Good for most general painting projects.
- Orange Tape: Stronger adhesion for cleaner lines and tougher surfaces.
Must-Have Painting Supplies from HomCo
- Valspar Paints – High-quality, durable, and easy to apply.
- Sandpaper – Use to lightly scuff wall for better paint adhesion.
- Purdy Brushes – Handmade in Oregon; angled brushes provide crisp lines without tape.
- Roller Kits & Paint Liners – Essential for large areas and even coverage.
- Drop Cloths & Plastic Sheeting – Use canvas for furniture and plastic for floors.
- Sponges – Perfect for adding texture to accent walls and murals.
- Stencils – Great for creating patterns and custom designs with ease.
- Masking Tape – Use for geometric shapes and crisp lines.
