(ARA) - For today's homeowners who are seeking easy ways to update their homes on a do-it-yourself budget, nothing transforms the look and feel of a room as quickly and affordably as a fresh coat of colorful paint.
HGTV star and interior designer David Bromstad offers these tips
*Highlight unexpected areas. Paint can go beyond walls. You can put it on unexpected surfaces, such as ceilings and accessories. Try a bright hue on the interior of a bookshelf or stair risers for a fun twist.
*Use white on trim to make your color pop.
White trim is classic and elegant, so you never get sick of it, and it's a fantastic way to highlight color on your walls.
*Paint furniture. If you need or prefer to keep your walls neutral, a great way to add color is by painting a side table, chair or armoire. This spices up the space and makes it easy to change your room's look anytime you want.
When it comes to paint selection, Bromstad recommends using HGTV(R) HOME by Sherwin-Williams, which features unique designer-inspired color collections for interiors and exteriors.
