Choose Paint Color Last

Learn how to paint different spaces and details like accent walls, ceilings and trim, small room tips and tricks, as well as creating the perfect man cave.

Accent Walls

Choose the most noticeable wall in the room for your accent wall.

Ceilings And Trim

Hide or highlight your ceilings or trim with paint.

Small Rooms

Small Rooms

Covering all the surfaces of a room in one color makes it feel larger.

  • Choose a warm and rich, or soft and soothing hue, and envelope the space in it, including the ceiling.

  • One unified color fades defining lines, which enhances the coziness of the space and makes it feel larger.

Man Caves

Man Caves

Team colors or earthy tones can create a clubhouse atmosphere.

  • These spaces are usually separate from the rest of the house (i.e. garage, game room, media room) so the color here doesn't need to match the rest of the house.
  • Choose a sporty green, earthy brown or favorite team color to create a clubhouse atmosphere.
