Before you even open a paint can, prep your space for success.

Paint is the fastest way to completely change the feel of a room.

Steps to follow:

• Choose a color that feels more elevated—earthy tones like Green Garlands 5007-3C are great for a grown-up look.
• We recommend using Valspar Ultra Paint + Primer for an affordable, high-quality finish.
• Use our Valspar 2-in Wall & Trim angle sash brush to cut in around corners and edges.
• Switch to a Valspar 9-in x 3/8-in Walls and Ceilings Knit Roller and paint in a “W” pattern in small sections for even coverage.
• Apply a second coat if needed, especially with darker colors.

While the walls dry, give your furniture a glow-up too.

Try this:

• Clean and lightly sand your headboard (or any furniture piece).
• Paint it in a bold, moody color like Perfect Storm 5001-6C.
• Use Valspar Cabinet & Furniture Paint—it’s durable and resists scuffs and fading.
• This small change can make a big impact on the overall feel of the room.

Once everything is dry, step back and do any final touch-ups. You’ll be amazed at how different the space feels—with time to spare.

In just 48 hours, you’ve gone from basic to beautiful. Ready to do your next room?
