This way you can keep the grout line effect while adding an exciting pattern with color to the tile surface themselves. One of my favorite ways to keep the traits of tile and stone but change its appearance is by stenciling a design. This is where you’ll want to consider adding a new color so they actually become a design element you want noticed. Now, on the other side, if you already have decorative window sills with stone, wood, or tiles, you may really like the construction and texture of them but just not the color. We are treating them more like trim in that we want them fresh and bright but not the design focus. Our goal isn’t to draw more attention to them, but instead to just brighten them up so the new window coverings and wall treatments can shine through. This is the technique we used as our window sills are simple formica with nothing decorative about them. I recommend this approach if your existing window sills aren’t the most architecturally ornate or special in any way. If you want your window sills to blend in with your new decor, a fresh coat of white or whatever your trim color is may be the perfect finish.
A simple DIY project to paint inside window sills will only use a few products to compliment a room without spending the big bucks. Save your major effort and renovation dollars for more important projects around the house. A simple coat of paint can blend them into your new decor or a pop of texture or color can pull them out as a new design feature.
They might look white or another ‘matching’ color to your new decor, but after you finish the room, you may notice they are dull or ‘dirty’ looking. Just like freshening up trim, doors, and even outlet face covers, window sills sit in the same category. With a solid plan, in a few days you’ll have brand new looking window sills to compliment your room. Your wait times for drying and properly curing will be the most important part of the process. Updating your window sills is more about patience than difficult skill.
Paint can do wonders if applied correctly and refresh this fine detail in your house for years to come. The surface doesn’t matter, especially if you are unhappy with it. A simple windowsill revival is just the ticket! Some of you may have formica window sills or a more fancy version of tile or stone. They may be a small detail, but a little effort on them can make all the difference. You can paint inside window sills and love the outcome.Īs you finish a room renovation by changing colors, furnishings, or even its architecture, your window sills might not fit in so well anymore. Don’t let this bum you out, especially is you hate the ones you have and look at them as the last remaining old feature that your newly refreshed room is stuck with. Window sills are a bit more part of the wall than a simple switch-out weekend project. Not like if you wanted to change cabinets in a laundry room or put up some new blinds. The construction of a window sill isn’t one that you just pop out and clip on a new style either. It just seems like whatever they look like when you buy a house, that is the way they stay. Window sills? When’s the last time you actually looked at your window sills? A window sill is one of those things that doesn’t usually get demo’d, updated, or changed at all.
