JUST PAINTED MY SONS BEDROOM AND THE COLOR IS MUCH BRIGHTER THAN ANTICIPATED-HOW CAN I DARKEN THE COLOR WITHOUT COMPLETLY REPAINTING THE ROOM?

 

Try some faux painting on it.It's really not hard and you can even get a wall paper look if you want.You can use a rag,spong or feather duster. It dosn't take long and it takes very little paint,pick a darker color or two that goes with his decor and just have fun with it.You will need A half pint of the color you pick a clean rag so if you get it on your trim just wipe it off before it drys.You can get roller naps at your paint store to do it with if you perfure. My favorite is the feather dusting look it looks like wall paper and only takes about twenty min. to do a whole room . you put your paint in a gal. bukett just dip the ends of the feather duster in the paint give it a little shack over your bukett then just pat the wall with it till you get the look you want.If your child is old enough he might injoy helping with this project.
