The project:

I gave this small bathroom a fresh new look using nothing more than paint and a household sponge to create a hand-painted feature wall. The textured pattern adds depth, character and a designer feel without the cost of wallpaper or tiles. Paired with simple floating shelf and cute pictures, this budget-friendly DIY transformed a plain space into a modern, stylish room. It’s an easy, affordable project that proves you don’t need expensive materials to create a big impact.

Hi @ruch93,

It's amazing what can be achieved with a bit of creativity and a sample pot of paint. The sponge-painted feature wall adds plenty of texture and interest, and the floating shelf and artwork finish the space off beautifully.

Did it take a bit of experimenting to get the sponge pattern looking just right, or did you have the technique worked out from the start? I'm sure plenty of members would love to give this budget-friendly idea a try.

Many thanks again for sharing your project.

Mitchell
