DIY Decorator – Easy Wall Update – Fun with Paint

My office wall was gray. It wasn’t bad, just very bland. Painting a new solid color, meh, I wasn’t feeling it. Wallpaper sounds like a lot of work. Plus I have nightmares. Ok, maybe that’s dramatic. I remember my parents removing wallpaper in the 80’s and it was a frustrating mess. I know things have come a long ways, but still no to wallpaper.
After some Pinterest pin-spiration I decided on a fun accent wall. I already had everything I needed at home. I had some dark blue paint. I also had one of those famous plastic cups. My cup was a different color, but you know what I mean.

In about an hour, I was completely cleaned up from my project and admiring the results. So simple, dip the top of the cup in the paint and stamp it on the wall. I stamped 2-3 times before getting more paint on the cup. I started in the lower corner. I did this to ensure I didn’t end up with part of a cup at the end. I also overlapped and staggered the cup some. I’ve had lots of people tell me they like my wallpaper. Folks are surprised when I explain it’s paint 😉

I like the variety in the circles. Some are bolder,
others have drips or gaps in the lines.
It gives the wall life and texture.
This visually interesting wall didn’t cost me any money and took about an hour start to finish. Decorator win!

Check out another way I updated a wall with a monotone design. Again, it was free to me and took less than an hour!

A quick search on Pinterest will give you all kinds of ideas for decorative wall paint. This is where I get so much of my inspiration from. I <3 Pinterest!
