The Top 42 Wall Painting Ideas
8. Spray Paint
Not all paint comes in cans that you then apply to the wall with a brush or roller. Using spray paint can give the wall of your home an urban look. This takes practice and skill, so it’s best if you give it a few tries before you attempt to paint your walls.

It can help to use a stencil. This eliminates some of the steady hand and skill required. It can also help to find a design that you get inspired by. Then you can create a design using it as a guide to creating your own artwork.
Spray paint can be toxic, and you’ll need a well-ventilated space to use it in. It can also be very messy. It’s best to leave spray painting on the outside walls. Then there’s plenty of space and ventilation. It also won’t matter if you drip paint on the ground during the painting process.
9. Tree
Adding a tree to your wall can bring nature inside. This is a perfect solution for someone who doesn’t have a green thumb or lives in a place that doesn’t have great light. Perhaps you have a room that doesn’t get much sunlight, and a real plant would struggle to thrive in the space.
Paint a tree on the wall and have greenery that never dies. Add blooms, and you’ll enjoy colorful flowers year-round.

While this is one of the most popular creative wall painting ideas, it can be tricky to pull off. You can use a stencil for the trunk and branches. Then another for the leaves. For a realistic look, add small details and texture to your tree by adding bark to the trunk and veining in the leaves.
10. Two Toned
Add multiple colors to your room by painting the walls two colors. Choose two complimentary colors. Then use the darker color on the bottom portion of the wall and the lighter color on the upper portion of the wall. The wall paint colors you choose should look good together. Some possible color combinations are black and white, yellow and peach, deep teal and cream, or plum and lilac.
