When a person chooses to take on decorating their home, it can be fun as well as a money saver. What some either dread or live for is the time it takes to plan, even though some people find that creating as one goes along is produces a better result. One way to get the most out of wall space is to use decorative painting patterns that complement a room theme.

These patterns are reusable and ideal for those with a creative side. Windows, walls, and hard furnishings are ideal projects. However, those who like to recycle paper and paper products will find that old shipping boxes can be converted into functional crafts to be displayed around the house.

Patterns or templates can be used in a number of places besides walls. Older wood tables and other hard furnishings may be given new life with an abstract or floral design accent. If it is not possible to have a running pattern that covers an entire wall space, then borders that cover the edges or entryways could be a nice solution.

This type of painting is very easy because it may be done with any type of paint. Most find that acrylic is the ideal choice because it is the least expensive and can be used on various surfaces. It is also the easiest to correct, as it does not stain surfaces but a single coat dries quickly. Another advantage is that this type of paint is sold for less at most major discount retailers.

Watercolors are good for blending things like floral designs but will not show up on most furnishings or dark backgrounds. For those who do not care to spend a lot of time using a brush, there are some alternatives. When it comes to small details, spray paints may be of use, or for added texture, the sponge paint methods may work.

For those who are having a hard time making a decision, it may help to look at the current space and look at areas that may be in need of change. Maybe painting a tabletop makes more sense than buying another coffee or end table. Or a designated space may have a very nice lamp but it is the wrong color.

Anyone lacking ideas may want to browse the many home decor websites or periodicals. Also, books and live tutorials that are found online can also provide inspiration and possibly help someone who may find themselves a little stumped. While these are good reference points, anyone can add their own personal touches.

Other ideas for paints are to experiment with different textures. Spray paints are faster than brush strokes and advanced users may like to use an airbrush effect on their project. There are some spray paints that give surfaces a faux finish like crackle, marble, and stone. These come in many colors and may be used on everyday home decor.

If using design templates for a specialized space, like a room for a child or the kitchen, there are some unusual touches that may be considered. Glitter or shimmer effects or even paint that glows in the dark can give a professional look for a fraction of the price. Even the concept does not last forever, it can still be a fun activity for all members of the family.
