Eight decoration ideas with paint
The furniture is assembled, the knick-knacks are ready to be put up, the guest list for the house-warming party is growing. But nothing can be done about it: those too-white walls leave you speechless. But the paint rollers are still at hand - and so is the magic of colour. It only takes a few hours and a few well thought-out brushstrokes to radically change the look of a room! A doorway arch, a theatrical alcove, trompe l'oeil frames... Discover our eight inspirations for personalising your interior with paint.
Deco bingo
In the decorating bingo, you've won the jackpot. On the one hand, a built-in alcove, which has been a must for some years. On the other, a luminous terracotta, which highlights the curves of this children's desk. The interior designer Élodie Cottin had fun highlighting the whole with warm light wood, from the antique chair to the well-placed rattan suspension. A mini desk for maximum inspiration.
The Big Blue
See the walls big
Picture perfect
That's the great thing about painting: one stroke of the roller and a decor you've grown tired of becomes a blank page again. There are no more excuses for not getting started! At Amandine and Nicolas' house, we gave free rein to our creativity to imagine a trio of pop arches reminiscent of the Sable wardrobe installed in the living room. A touch of pinkish beige, a hint of Terra, and you get a singular fresco that you're sure not to find at the neighbour's.
Optical illusion
Rainbow
Colours that pop
You've been racking your brains for weeks. To paint or not to paint, to hammer nails or not? To do nothing? Granted, going head to head with a white wall can be an intractable problem. With 3 neon lights and 3 bands of colour, interior designer Lucie Socrate has transformed this blank page into a bright, pop trio that dresses her walls day and night. And soon yours?
In organised bands
Bleu nuit, marble and brass, the kitchen installed in our offices had everything going for it. But that was not knowing us well! Far from the lacquered fronts and the details that make a statement, our eye was only attracted by one element, and not the least: this large white wall that tickled us. So we got out the masking tape and rollers to create graphic strips to add rhythm to the whole. And to find out how to draw these lines without smudging, it's over here.
