Top Decorating Projects for 2025
Here are some decorating ideas for 2025 that can help you revamp your living spaces or commercial areas:

- Drop Cloths or Painter’s Tape
- Paint Sprayer (for large surfaces)

- Wallpaper Smoothing Tools (such as a plastic smoother or roller)
- Utility Knife or Scissors

- Sanding Tools (Hand or Power Sander)
- Paint or Stain (in the desired colour)
- Painter’s Tape or Drop Cloths
- Putty Knife or Caulk for Finishing Work
4. Accent Walls and Creative Finishes: For those looking to add a touch of character to a room, creating an accent wall with paint, wallpaper or even wood panelling can make a significant difference. Think about experimenting with different finishes such as matte, gloss or textured paints.
Tools and Equipment:
- Paint Brushes, Rollers and Stencils
- Wallpaper or Paneling Materials
- Wood Glue and Finishing Nails (if using wood paneling)

- Signage Materials (such as Vinyl, Paint or Stencils)
