Spring is a time of color, so it\u2019s only natural to be looking for ways to incorporate more hues into your home. Do not feel limited by expense or difficulty. Get a colorful update or some new curb appeal with these colorful paint upgrades to make this spring.<\/p>\n

Interior stairs-\u00a0<\/strong>Stairs are often forgotten as a stylish element in your home when it comes to color and paint. Get creative and add a rainbow or ombre look to the front of the stairs, or paint a runner-like striped pattern. For simpler options paint just the risers or the entirety of the stairs. Don\u2019t feel limited by anything other than your imagination.<\/p>\n

Mantle or Fireplace-\u00a0<\/strong>The fastest way to make a modern house feel old? Stick a fireplace or mantle in it made of natural brick. Fret not! Update the fireplace or mantel with a simple paint job. So as to not upset the balance of color in your home, try a sleek black paint job or white washing. You will need some particular ingredients to make this recipe work, so be sure to consult the paint experts at your store if you\u2019re taking it on yourself. Let them know this is a fireplace paint job on brick as it will change the paint you need.<\/p>\n

Front Door –<\/strong>\u00a0Exterior paint jobs are big, and costly. If you want the feeling of a new paint job outside without the cost and mess, how about updating the front door? A fun door color is the fastest and easiest way to get big results outside. Some colors will even raise the value of your house. Peppercorn paint on a front door brought some sales $6,000 more at closing tables.<\/p>\n

Kitchen Cabinets –\u00a0<\/strong>Kitchen cabinets easily date a kitchen back a couple of decades. As the major architectural element in your kitchen, they can be costly to get replaced. Rather than get all new cabinets, if yours are in good shape, paint them. You don\u2019t even have to paint all of them. Add a darker look to the bottom to create a faux ceiling effect, or try a color pairing like navy and white for a classic New England home feel. \"\"<\/p>\n

Bathroom Vanity –\u00a0<\/strong>For an unexpected color pop, aim for your bathroom vanity. Typically bathrooms are smaller and more neutral. Use an afternoon and a gallon of paint to change out the color of the vanity and up the style points. Great options are muted blue, charcoal or barely yellow.<\/p>\n

Headboard –\u00a0<\/strong>Don\u2019t feel like a college kid if you don\u2019t have a headboard. Take some paint and create a painted headboard directly on the wall. Try a complementary color to your current bedroom setting, or go bold for a big impact.<\/p>\n

Bookcase Interior-\u00a0<\/strong>Painting the interior of a bookcase is unexpected but gives a room a big impact. Allow the color to peek over the books for just a subtle bout of whimsy. Sure the books are thoughtful, so why shouldn\u2019t the bookshelf be too?<\/p>\n
