Stencil
Stencil paint can be used to many effects. You can go as far as to stencil the entire floor for an awesome pattern effect, but it can also be used to create zones or paths like the one seen above.
The effect will depend on the pattern itself – you can go for something geometrical and simple in most cases for a neutral look, but you can opt for more fun ideas in the case of children’s bedrooms or light-hearted environments.
Splatter
A super fun idea for children’s bedrooms or just a bold new look! And the best part – as you can probably imagine, you can do it by yourself just fine. It can even become one of the most fun parts of your week, just getting a couple paint buckets and splattering around the floor on purpose.
You can’t go wrong – basically pick your colors and Jackson Pollock those floors!
Patterns
This can be done with the help of stencils as said before to simulate the impression of tiles. It’s a suitable alternative if you’re not thinking of installing tiles but want to revamp the look of your floor – it’s cheaper, less labour intensive, and non-permanent. If in the future you still want those tiles, or decide for a change of pattern and color, everything is still on the table.
Glossy
Glossy paint can bring a lot of “shine to a room. Although it’s not ideal for every situation, being able to reflect some light can really do you some favours.
Combine it with a soft color like the blue seen above, and the reflective light is just bright enough to bring some dimension to your bathroom without looking strange. Plus, reflective surfaces tend to enhance the feeling of cleaningness, which counts as extra points in glamour for you.
Painted rug
Fun fact: the painted rug above was a clever solution to hardwood floors that had a noticeable “rug mark. Instead of spending tons and replacing the entire floor once the rug was removed, they instead painted a rug in that area – meaning they didn’t even have to rearrange any furniture around.
This technique gives you a lot of room to experiment, since the paint can be any color or pattern. You can have something crazy stylish like the one above, or something more subtle just to create that zone in your dining area or living room.
