Interior design: Bathroom cabinet decorating ideas
There are several ways to spruce up your bathroom cabinets so that your bathroom has an entirely new look. You can go with virtually any shapes or designs you can imagine, but some of the most popular stencils shapes are hearts, flowers, seashells, clovers, or animals. Dip your sponge into the paint, and dab onto a scrap piece of paper a few times so that you'll be getting the desired look. Lightly dab the paint-covered sponge over your stencil, and then remove the stencil from the surface gently, so as not to mess up the paint. You will use a whole new sponge square for each color and each stencil. You can also decorate your toilet seat with artificial flowers. Attach the vines and flowers to the mirror with glue, or if you want to have the ability to diversify your décor at a moment's notice, you can use Velcro to attach them. Buy a toilet seat cover in the color of your choice, and use a needle and thread to attach flowers (without stems) to the seat cover. Artificial vines and flowers can really work wonders in a boring bathroom. You should also decorate the inside of the cabinets, once the outside is dry. Create a border around the mirror with vines, or take the stems of off flowers and make a floral and vine border. That's all it takes to sponge paint stencil designs in your bathroom… and of course, you can use the same idea in any rooms in your home. If you are using the same stencil again, rinse it clean and dry it off before you use it again so that you don't accidentally get any of the paint from the last stencil onto the wall where you don't want it. Buy one-inch squares of mirror at your local craft store. Glue them together so that they are almost touching, but not quite. Once you have attached the mirror pieces and they have dried, use nail polish to paint some of the mirror squares. Coat your cabinet with waterproof glue (except for the back that will be against the wall). Next, cover the remaining space on your cabinet with sand. You could just randomly paint scattered pieces, or you could paint them to form a design. Keep in mind that you can buy sand in many colors at your local craft store, or you can dye sand yourself with some food coloring. You can also use the mirror squares to decorate a border around your mirror, or even to make a border around the whole room. If you have too much paint on the sponge, you will not get a textured look with you stenciled designs. You might also cut leavesoff of artificial vines, and then use a needle and thread to sew them on as well, to fill in any gaps between flowers. |
