Color Your Kitchen With Simple DIY Projects

Wake Up the Walls

Whether or not you're handy with a paintbrush, it's a cinch to add artistic color touches to your walls. Pick a bold color like pomegranate or fuchsia and choose a stencil that complements your decor. Wall stencils come in sophisticated designs including Florentine scrolls, French fleur-de-lis and ornate damask. Skip the formality and place the graphics here-and-there on the walls. Tape the stencil up with masking tape and dab on acrylic paint with a foam stenciling sponge. For an even easier transformation, use Blik Re-Stik repositionable wall decals. These movable stickers take the fear out of working with color — if you don't like the look, just remove and re-stick!
