17 Creative Wall Paint Ideas for Every Room in Your House

1

Paint on a Pattern

It may be the oldest trick in the book, but using paint to create a striped pattern is a classic for a reason. Designer Vern Yip relied on the technique to bring a nautical touch to his family's Florida beach house, coating his kids' "sleepover room" in white (Alabaster by Sherwin-Williams) and navy (Commodore by Sherwin-Williams) stripes.

2

Cover (Almost) Every Surface

All-over color is a great way to make a big statement, transforming what was once a regular room into a cozy jewel box of a space. Case in point? The dining area of this Amersterdamn home, which designer Nicole Dohmen of Atelier ND Interior painted floor to ceiling in dusty lilac. She complimented the custom shade (try Hazy Lilac by Benjamin Moore for a similar look) with upholstered dining chairs and curtain fabric by Étoffe in the same tone.

3

Try a Trendy Hue

Paint is a great way to, ahem, dip your toes into a trend before committing hardcore to an of-the-moment palette or hue in more consequential ways (like, say, furniture). Dynamic chocolatey brown—like the shade Rich Biscuit by Dulux, seen here in a bedroom designed by Fiona Lynch—is about to be everywhere in the coming year. Mark our word—and your walls, you trendsetter, you.

4

Choose High Gloss for High Glamour

Want to up the glam factor in your home? Opt for an impactful paint color in a high gloss (or lacquer) finish to add sophistication and stately appeal to a forming living or dining space. In the 1930s Tudor seen here, designer Kati Curtis turned to an oil-based lacquer from Fine Paints of Europe to bring much-needed attention to what was once a forgotten transitional breezeway in a circa-1930s Tudor.

5

Go Dark for Drama

A dark paint pick says so much about a homeowner—mainly, that you're supremely confident and not afraid of a little drama (the good kind, that is). If you have a room with cavernous proportions, juxtaposition the scale with a moody, encapsulating hue, like the charcoal shade (Amherst Gray by Benjamin Moore) seen here in an apartment designed by Nannette Brown.

6

Try a Transportive Mural

Encourage a flight of imagination by hiring a pro artist to cover the walls with one-of-a-kind artwork meant to inspire and transport. "The dining room was our greatest challenge, but it ended up becoming the most exciting room in the house," says designer Sarah Gilbane of this Everglades-inspired space she dreamed up for an adventurous client. Artist Brian Leaver took to the walls—already covered in a textural grasscloth wallpaper—to paint a tropical scene, then created a trompe l'oeil tented ceiling for added charm.

7

Add Dimension With Moulding

Help your paint pick enter a new dimension by coating a wall that already boasts decorative molding. Designer Ariene Bethea of Dressing Room Interiors Studio revived some of the character in her North Carolina home by adding molding wherever she could. In the office space, a saturated berry hue (Framboise by Sherwin-Williams) coordinates with the surrounding glam-eclectic decor, including a 1970s Gastone Rinaldi metal dining set that Bethea reupholstered with fabric remnants.

8

“Dip” Your Wall in Color

Just because you choose to paint your room, doesn't mean you have to choose to paint your whole room. Consider "dipping" the space instead, carrying the color up three-quarters of the wall to create visual interest or appeal to an architectural accent already in place, like the vertical paneling seen here. Designer Stephanie Sabbe gave the 2021 House Beautiful Whole Home timeless charm using a similar technique and the laid-back hue Chapelle Green by Farrow & Ball.

9

Use Paint as a Room Divider

Ease a transition between spaces by utilizing a color that bridges the gap between two rooms and unites their design. Here, pro Justina Blakeney accented the flow between the living and kitchen spaces in her petite 1050-square-foot bungalow by coating the wall in Breakfast Room Green by Farrow & Ball—a hue that seamlessly blends with nearby tiles from Badia Design.

10

Fake Architectural Interest

Working with a plain, builder-grade home? No problem! For a quick fix, use this clever painting technique to create (faux) architectural interest around a doorway or window frame. "There was no ceiling molding and no molding around the doors in this apartment, so I added them with paint!" says designer Aldous Bertram of this creative and feminine space.

11

Coordinate With Your Wallpaper

Paint can be used to lend attitude to a space—or dial up the funk that's already present. Emphasize an arresting wallpaper pattern by coordinating the paint in a nearby room to a color in the print. This bathroom—designed by Heather and Matt French for the 2021 House Beautiful Whole Home—relies on Farrow & Ball's Duck Green to accent the adjacent malachite-inspired wallpaper by Phillip Jeffries.

12

Add Some (Faux) Texture

Fake the look of a storied space—or accent an already stately home—with a painting technique that lends a sense of history and texture to your walls. Limewash paint has become a designer go-to for creating movement and dimension and can be realized in a range of hues, from deep clay to the cloud-like blue (from Porter's Paints) seen here in a dining room designed by Caroline Rafferty.

Sneak in a Surprise Pop

For an added dose of fun, coat an unexpected area (like the interior of a closet, pantry, or cabinet) in a standout shade. For a playful punch in this pantry, Pulp Design Studio used Daredevil by Sherwin Williams in a satin finish, which is low sheen but still wipeable—a must for a utilitarian space.

14

Craft Up a Mega Chalkboard

Chalkboard paint has earned a reputation as a go-to for classrooms and kid's spaces, but it can actually skew stylish, too. The proof: this sophisticated apartment by designer Garrow Kedigian, which is coated in floor-to-ceiling chalk paint by Rust-Oleum and embellished with real chalk sketches by artist Rajiv Surendra.

15

Coat Just the Trim

If you prefer your use of color whisper instead of scream, you'll love this next idea. Instead of covering an entire wall or room in an eye-catching shade, have a bit of fun by painting just the decorative trim or molding. In this space, designer Chauncey Boothby used the nearby kitchen island as inspiration, cutting that hue (Benjamin Moore's Yarmouth Blue) by 50% with white to highlight the trim work in the neighboring dining room.

16

Get Graphic with Graffiti

At the end of the day, painting your home should be an artistic expression of your personality. Take that ethos to the max by hiring a graffiti artist (or getting your hands dirty yourself!) to tag your walls. In his California home, designer Eric Olsen tapped artist James Goldcrown to cover the walls of his daughter's bedroom with his signature graffiti hearts.

17

Highlight Your Transitions

Think of this next idea as a highlighter stick for your home. Call attention to your doorways and window frame—or any favorite architectural feature—with a strategic splash of paint—the brighter, the better. Need some inspo? We love how designer Courtney McLeod of Right Meets Left Interior Design dialed up the drama in the hallway of this Manhattan apartment, accenting the Flavor Paper wallpaper with pops of Confident Yellow by Sherwin-Williams and Apple Green by Benjamin Moore.

Design features

Wall painting in the interior differs both in appearance and materials. But such walls have something in common:

• Custom wall art is not a cheap pleasure, but it will stay in the apartment for a long time, so you need to choose the image very carefully.
• With the help of visual tricks, you can visually change the geometry of the room - make it higher, wider or more spacious.
• The value of artistic wall painting is in its uniqueness, so you should not overdo it with the number of interior paintings and their sizes. Designers recommend decorating a maximum of one side or part of it.
• Wall decoration should be appropriate - cartoon characters and fairy tales in the nursery, still lifes in the kitchen, landscapes in the living room.

Modern types and techniques

Today, there are several options for wall painting - they use different materials, tools and techniques.

Airbrush

The main tool of the artist is the airbrush. With the help of an air brush, a professional can quickly and easily create real masterpieces that amaze with their realism.

Using this method, it is easy to obtain a smooth surface and smooth color transitions without smudges and streaks. It is possible to draw any motifs with an airbrush: from stylish abstractions and panoramas to portraits in the smallest details.

The only drawback of modern interior wall painting is its high cost.

Fresco

The first mention of wall painting on wet plaster appeared in the 15th century, but it remains popular to this day.

One of the main advantages of ready-made frescoes is wear resistance, because if samples of the 16th-18th centuries have been preserved to this day, then in an apartment such an artistic image will definitely survive more than one repair.

Today, when painting walls in the interior, this technique is used to copy both the painting that is popular today, and create an imitation of ancient images. The second is especially in demand in classical interiors - thanks to the patina, it seems that the picture was created several tens or even hundreds of years ago.

Painting with fluorescent paints

Glow in the dark paints open up possibilities for fantasy. Their peculiarity is that in the daytime the image looks like a simple wall painting with the most common paints, and in the dark or ultraviolet radiation, the picture begins to glow. Choosing this option for painting the walls in the apartment, be prepared for the transformation of the room in the dark.

An unusual idea for wall painting is to apply an image with a special invisible fluorescent paint. Then during the day the picture will not be visible at all, and in the evening it will “turn on”. One of the popular uses for invisible paints is the starry sky on the ceiling.

Painting with acrylic paints

The most versatile material for painting walls in the interior is acrylic paint. They have gained popularity both among professional artists and among the townsfolk quite deservedly. The paints are odorless, easy to apply, dry quickly, do not fade in the sun even without a protective varnish and are suitable for all types of surfaces.

Acrylic is suitable for all rooms in the interior - it is environmentally friendly (which is especially good for a nursery), waterproof (after drying, a protective film is formed - this will allow you to use the paint in the bathroom and in the kitchen).

Thanks to the wide range of tinting options, such wall paintings in the interior can look completely different: from pastel landscapes reminiscent of frescoes to acid graffiti.

Volumetric painting

Such an interesting wall painting is used when it is necessary to expand or change the space. Three-dimensional painting is understood as two options:

• 3D drawing. A kind of illusion of a continuation of the room. For these purposes, they often depict a landscape, a window with a beautiful view, a terrace, a bridge across the river - see the original example in the photos below.
• Relief decor. The image is applied in several layers and seems to come out of the wall, this adds volume to the whole room. Landscapes and animals in this technique seem absolutely realistic.

Any of the technologies requires certain skills in execution, so do not try to do it yourself - get the help of a professional. This is where the main drawback of volumetric painting comes from - the high price.

Using stencils

If you plan to do interior wall painting on your own, but you don't have the skills, use a stencil. Most often they are made in the form of various patterns and ornaments, repeating which you can easily paint over the entire wall.

All you need for a successful artistic painting is the stencil itself, paints (often available in a kit), a brush or roller and your accuracy. Just apply the template to the prepared wall surface, go through the paint, transfer to another place - and so on until the end.

The advantage of this method is not only in simplicity, but also in the final cost. In addition, with its help you will leave your mark on the walls.

How does the wall painting look in the rooms?

The type of wall painting in the interior primarily depends on the functionality of the room in which you are going to apply the technique. Consider the rules and ideas for each space.

Wall painting in the kitchen

No matter how durable paints are, avoid surfaces near the sink or stove. Drops of water and fat, as well as temperature changes, will significantly reduce the life of the finished masterpiece. Most often in the kitchen, they choose an area near the dining table or an apron outside the wet area.

Pictured is the artistic painting of the walls in the dining area

The choice of subject depends on your personal preferences:

• neutral landscape, panorama or abstraction will correct the geometry of the room;
• a still life, a view of a cafe or a restaurant dish will set the right atmosphere.

Wall painting in the bedroom

Whatever style the bedroom is decorated in, this room is primarily a place of recuperation. Therefore, there should not be any aggressive and bright art - only delicate colors, smooth lines, neutral sketches.

The most suitable scenes are flora and fauna, calm landscapes (without waterfalls and elements), 3D panoramas.

If you still prefer more active paintings, place them behind the head of the bed and plan the arrangement of furniture so that nothing is reflected in the mirrors. Thus, you will not see the fresco before going to bed, but only after waking up.

Plant motifs behind the head of the bed

Wall painting in the living room

The only room in which there are practically no restrictions on the choice of plot is the hall. The main requirement is that the image should match the style and temperament of the entire interior.

In the living room, natural or urban landscapes, abstractions, reproductions of famous canvases, portraits of people are most often depicted.

Depending on your style, choose as follows:

• blooming gardens and seascapes for classic interiors;
• black and white colors in abstraction go with minimalism and hi-tech;
• lavender fields fit best in Provence.

In the children's room

When decorating a children's room, every adult has the right to become a child again and discard all frames! Most often, the brightest colors and unusual stories are used here. Heroes of fairy tales and cartoons, magical forests and castles, favorite animals - these are not all options for a nursery.

For wall painting on wallpaper or plaster, use organic acrylic paints - unlike oil and any other, they are safe and environmentally friendly.

Examples in the hallway and hallway

The use of wall painting in the interior of the hallway will make this boring space much more interesting. Choose only one most noticeable side and place on it an abstract canvas or a city view with streets.

Since painting in itself is an accent in the interior, bright colors should not be used in small rooms - a black and white scale or even a drawing in one color is possible.

Choosing a picture and plot

We have already touched on the theme of the paintings and said that it should match the room. Let's dwell on the choice of design in more detail.

Living room.

• Yes: abstraction with 3D effect, nature, city, portraits, geometry, graffiti.
• No: food, fairy tales.

Kitchen.

• Yes: food, prepared meals, still life, kitchen utensils, cafe or restaurant photography.
• No: children's drawings, cartoon characters, dark tragic paintings.

Bedroom.

• Yes: landscapes, flowers, abstractions.
• No: scenes of aggression, animals, large portraits, raging elements, bright acid paintings.

Cabinet.

• Yes: book covers or bookshelves, classical paintings, maps of countries or the world.
• No: children's stories on a bright background, food, flowers, animals, graffiti.

Bathroom.

• Yes: nautical, landscape, flowers, abstract.
• No: large images of people and animals, still life.

In the photo there is an artistic painting with the heroes of fairy tales

Based on the style of the interior, the following patterns can be distinguished:

• Modern. Abstract motifs, large flowers, airbrushing, reproductions of paintings by contemporary artists will do.
• Classic. The painting on the wall in the form of a landscape, floral details, reproductions of classical paintings, ornaments is ideal.
• East. Ornaments and arabesques, images of dragons, hieroglyphs, reproductions of Guohua painting will best reflect the directions.
• Provence. The main element of decor is flowers. Roses, lavender, tulips.
• Art Deco. A geometric ornament, a repeating pattern or an image imitating the texture of marble will fit perfectly.
• Loft. If the image of brick or concrete masonry seems boring, add some graffiti.
• Eco. The texture of the wood works best, and a bamboo forest or a beautiful field also looks amazing.

Visualization

A well-made painting can mask surface irregularities, visually enlarge the space and transform the appearance of the room in which it will be performed.

How to choose the right sketch for painting?

Several parameters should be taken into account in order to properly position the painting

• layout of the room and its area (number of window openings, room size, for a competent choice of the scale of the future painting)
• room functionality (room accessory - bedroom, bathroom or nursery, to choose the theme of the image)
• basic style of the entire interior (if the interior is made in a classic style, then the painting must be done in the appropriate technique)
• the degree of illumination of the room (for a successful selection of colors)

The classic direction is considered traditional for residential premises.
As a rule, interiors in this style are complemented by murals in a realistic manner. A favorite subject is a natural motif, a landscape or a lyrical scene. A very relevant and sought-after direction for the design of interior space in our time.

Empire and Baroque - popular styles for painting. Baroque is characterized by a large abundance of details and artsy elements. Empire style is more concise and strict in execution. Both are reproduced in a realistic painterly manner.

Blende painting - a kind of painting that visually allows you to give the room more volume and extra space. The favorite location of such a mural is an arch or recess in the wall.

Fresco - a frequently used painting technique for interiors, very loved by the owners of country houses. Thanks to this painting technology, you can give the room a special, vintage look, imitate old plaster and painting in an old style, which will give it a certain nobility.

Minimalism - a type of painting that prefers simple geometric and linear forms without excessive color gradations.
Fits well into the interior, made in a modern style, in laconic colors.
