It’s about time to embrace the new normal as we navigate through these uncertain times at home. When else will we ever be told that staying at home can help save the world? What a time to be alive!
But there’s only so much we can do indoors, and we’re pretty sure it involves a lot of social media and screen-time.
So if you’re running out of things to do at home, here’s a way to spice up your days by bringing some colour into your home… literally!

The magically thing about colours is that it has the ability to reflect your personality, influence your actions and transform your mood.
In light of the current situation that’s probably been making you feel moody or grumpy, here’s a fun DIY activity to do with the family indoors to make your home an even safer space.
#1 Transform the walls
Give your house a bit of character and consider painting your walls using bold colours.
You can also unleash your inner artist and get creative by designing a feature wall with the help of Momento® Special Effect Paint. You’ll be surprise how quickly and easily new walls and change the overall look and feel of your home.
#2 Revamp the cabinets
Once you’re done with the walls, move on to your cabinets.
Whether it’s in the kitchen, study or bedroom, you can also inject new life by painting over them with new colours. There’s also no harm in covering them with a fresh coat of paint even if you want to maintain your cabinets in their original form.
#3 Refresh the bed frame
Your nights won’t be dull anymore as you see new colours right before going to bed.
It doesn’t exactly sound like a common DIY project to do at home, but it’s certainly achievable. Whether your bed comes with a wood, steel or metal bed frame, give it a new paint job and get ready for sweeter dreams to come.
#4 Refurbish the decorations
Items like hangers, vases or candle holders can also be refreshed with a new coat of colours.
And since they’re smaller than your other furniture around the house, you can finish it in no time!
#5 Restore the tables and chairs
Let’s not forget the tables and chairs at your dining area or study room.
Got that scratch on the table that’s been bugging you? Or the tiny dent on the chair you sit on every day with your new work-from-home situation? Change it up with new colours! Go as bold or as simple as you like.
#6 Paint the gate
Once you’ve completely transformed the indoors, get some fresh air outside and paint your front gate while you’re at it.
