While we are all spending more time at home during these crazy days, this is the perfect time to work on some home projects you’ve had on your mental to do list or to infuse your house with some fresh color and joy! To help get you inspired, we thought we’d do a quick roundup of some of our favorite easy paint projects!

walls

The obvious choice to make a big statement in your home is to pick a room and paint the walls! Benjamin Moore has an incredible collection of colors for any style. If you don’t know where to start with selecting a color, we’d suggest taking a look at Benjamin Moore’s color trends from 2019 and 2020 or check out our blog post about choosing the right white paint for your home!

Furniture

Give an old piece of furniture new life with a fresh coat of paint! If you aren’t up for adding bold color to your walls, painting a piece of furniture in a fun color could be just what you need to brighten up your home without feeling overwhelmed by color. Unsure of how to paint a piece of furniture? Here’s a great guide from Benjamin Moore.

Chalkboards

A chalkboard wall could be just the thing we all need to stay a little more organized while most of us have much less structure to our days right now. A chalkboard wall is the perfect spot for a daily schedule, meal plan, or a fun activity to keep your kids busy while you are working from home!

Fireplaces

Another great spot to add a little bit of color is your fireplace or mantle! We are loving how staying home more adds a lot of coziness to our days. Making your fireplace more of a focal point is a good way to add even more coziness to your home (hygge anyone?). Even if you don’t have a functional fireplace, you can add a lot of ambiance by lighting candles on a freshly painted mantle!

Half painted walls

One trend we are loving lately is half painted walls! This is such a fun way to add some visual interest and color to your walls. Here is a great tutorial on how to achieve this look.

Cabinets

I don’t know about you, but we’ve been spending a LOT of extra time in the kitchen lately! Adding a new color to your cabinets is a great way to freshen up any kitchen! Looking for something dark and bold? Try Benjamin Moore Night Shade 2116-10 (bottom right). Looking for something bright, but not overwhelming? Try Azores AF-495 (top right). Benjamin Moore has a great tutorial on how to paint cabinets. Check it out here.

Doors

Potentially the easiest job on this list is to paint a door! To add a different vibe to your curb appeal, try adding a fun color to your front door. For a quick and easy splash of color inside, paint the inside of your front door to make a fun statement in your entryway!
