Painting your floors (if they’re tile, wood, or stone, not carpet) can be a low-cost, easy, and creative way to transform your property, allowing you to give a room a totally different feel.

Pro tip: Paint the floor with your base color. Once it’s dry, position your stencil in one corner — you’ll want to paint yourself out of the room, toward the door.
