Consider painting your walls with a fresh coat in a neutral tone. You can go with traditional hues such as white or beige for timeless style. However, if you want to give a unique spin, try soft lilac or mint. 

If you would like to try a more abstract painting project, painter's tape is your friend. You can use the tape to create negative space art on your wall. If you enjoy the ambiance of the city, you can use painters tape to outline and then draw a cityscape. 


Cabinet painting ideas

Painting your cabinet doors is a great way to revitalize your kitchen. If you have older cabinets, a new coat of paint can make them appear more refreshed. Consider painting kitchen cabinets with bold hues to add drama and contrast, or stay neutral with soft, versatile hues.
