In my daughter’s room I created faux molding panels with a little bit of left over paint! Easy and effective!
Picture frame molding is classic and this hand painted version is a fun take on the style.
A keystone corner like this faux paneled wall could be easily taped off using painter’s tape.
Make a gallery wall really stand out with a painted “frame” around it.

Extend a doorway and give it new flair with just paint!
This faux doorway trim is peaked for a gorgeous style, but you could just extend the paint beyond the normal door trim, too, to make it seem wider.
You can also use a colorblock section to create your own faux accent wall — right over and around door frames if needed!

There are number of options using which you can give you walls a extravagant and merriment look. You can opt for a cool starburst shaped ombre wall, or you can also go for wall stenciling with a roller. If you like nature you can also go for painting a simple cherry blossom branch on the wall. Moreover, there are various other options such as a Freehand stripes, horizontal and vertical stripes. However, I would prefer that you avail the services of a Professional Interior Designer, as they possess knowledge of latest market trends, and a better Idea of what materials and design suit your home.
This post was literally amazing thanks for this great work.
