Nothing creates more immediate impact than a fresh coat of paint and in these challenging times, paint is overwhelmingly one of the best low cost options when infusing style in a living space.

By simply changing your wall, ceiling or trim color, rooms can go from boring to bright in just a matter of hours. Not many home improvement products can provide as much punch for the dollar.

For a low cost, high impact style change, pull out the brushes and rollers and reinvigorate your home, one room at a time.

• A simple change of hue in any space refreshes and revitalizes while adding a sense of updated style.

• Large polka dots or other geometric patterns add instant impact to a child’s bedroom or play area.

• Not ready for a whole room redo? Change the trim or door color and the entire space will feel new.

• Highlight that new flat screen television by “framing” it with paint. Before hanging it on the wall, paint a rectangle large enough so a six-inch, colorful “frame” is exposed once the TV is in place.

• Create interest in a dining room by painting the ceiling with a glossy finish. Light from the chandelier will have extra sparkle.
