Transform your space with leftover paint

Unused paint is often seen as a nuisance, lingering in the corners of garages and storerooms, forgotten and neglected. Rather than discarding it, why not repurpose it and unleash your creativity with ways to give it new life.

Leftover paint is a versatile resource for a variety of projects, including painting smaller items like picture frames, revamping furniture, or creating colourful accents in the home. Whether you’re looking to refresh your living space, embark on a DIY craft project, or contribute to sustainability efforts, there are countless innovative ways to make the most of that paint.

Dulux offers clever ideas and practical tips for using up leftover paint to refresh and enhance your space.

Breathe life into your shelves

Whether you’re looking to organise clutter, showcase decorative items, or simply add a pop of colour, updating your shelves with leftover paint is a practical and creative solution. Painting geometric stripes in Everclear 01BB 69/098 and Seal Grey 00NN 25/000 on shelves adds a modern and artistic touch, transforming them into a striking focal point that enhances the overall decor.

Reimagining old pieces

Upcycling old furniture is a fantastic way to renew pieces that may otherwise be discarded or forgotten. Not only does this practice promote sustainability, but it also allows you to express your creativity and personalise your home. By upcycling old furniture, you not only reduce waste but also create stunning, unique pieces that reflect your personality and style.

Easy patterns for an eye-catching feature wall

Painting a feature wall with leftover paint is a smart and stylish way to refresh your living space without incurring extra costs. By choosing a vibrant or contrasting colour from your leftover paint stash, you can create a focal point that adds personality and depth to any room. Rows of painted circles are easy to create and can make a striking statement when you pair shades like Rich Navy 50BB 08/171 and  White On White 30GY 88/014.
