Whether you're envisioning a refreshed front door or kitchen, or a modern twist on a vintage dresser, Colour Spark has an on-trend colour to suit what you're after.
When you're ready to paint, drop by your local Walmart or have your colours delivered conveniently to your doorstep and dive right into one of these seven paint trends that are perfect for a DIY project on a Sunday afternoon.
Colour block your living or dining space
Colour blocking in your living or dining space is an easy and affordable trend to embrace if you're looking to make a bold statement.
Consider choosing colours that contrast and create an eye-catching effect, like Rust-Oleum's Light Cream paired with their Clay Mask Green. By using the online visualizer, you can preview how these colours will interact and ensure they harmonize within your space.
Modernize your vintage finds with on-trend colours
Breathe new life into your thrifty furniture finds and bring them into the 21st century with a trendy pastel shade like Pink Parasol.
Paint the entire piece for a bold statement or selectively apply colour to specific areas, like the legs of a table or the drawer fronts of a dresser, for a more subtle touch that seamlessly blends old and new. Remember to prime and apply a Varathane clear finish to protect your handywork.
Spruce up your outdoor space with black & white
Sprucing up your outdoor space with a black-and-white colour scheme is a chic and timeless choice that can instantly elevate the look of your yard.
Consider using black paint for features like garden furniture and planters, while utilizing white for walls, door jambs and window frames. You'll find this colour scheme makes greenery or flowers in your garden stand out too.
If you're short on time, you can order Colour Spark's perfect white/black exterior colour combo available right to your home and save you a trip to the paint desk.
Make your space pop with an accent wall
By choosing a bold hue for a single wall, you can create a focal point that instantly grabs attention and transforms the overall ambiance of your space.
The accent wall should be a statement, so don't be afraid to go with a standout colour like Stellar Navy. Once the paint has dried, step back and admire how this vibrant addition instantly brings new life and excitement to your space.
Bring spa vibes to your outdated bathroom

With a few strategic updates and a calming colour palette, you can easily bring soothing spa vibes right into your own home. Plus, with mould and mildew resistance, Colour Spark paint is unbothered by the humidity of your bathroom.
Opt for soft, muted shades like White Cotton to make the space seem larger, or create a feature wall with Clay Mask Green or Powder Room Blue for a touch of elegance.
These colours will evoke a sense of tranquillity and promote relaxation and rejuvenation every time you step inside.
Create a cute buffet bar for your kitchen
Craving your own Instagrammable coffee bar or breakfast buffet table? All you need is an old dresser and a touch of fresh paint.
Choose a paint colour that complements your existing cabinetry or opt for a contrasting shade to make your buffet bar stand out. Soft pastels like Ivory Canvas can bring a touch of whimsy, while bold hues like Stellar Navy or Charcoal Black will help you make a statement.
Add personality to your front door with on-trend colour
