In my search for ideas on refreshing the kids’ rooms, I kept seeing this sponge wall art all over social media and Pinterest. It looked so easy and completely transformed rooms — so I figured, why not give this a shot and create a fun accent wall?

I did two different designs to match their room themes — and the best part…? This project was 100% FREE! All you need is leftover paint, a kitchen sponge, and about 30 minutes of your time.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

Paint
- Olivia’s pattern is painted in “Bohemian Lace” by Valspar Paint
- Jordan’s pattern is painted in “Restorative” by Valspar Paint
Kitchen Sponge
Paper plate (to pour paint on)

Depending on the size of the wall, you really don’t need that much paint. A little goes a long way with this project. Also, you can cut the sponge to create different shapes. For the two designs I did, I only needed the edges of the sponge. TIP: when you dip the sponge in the paint, be sure to “dab” the sponge a few times on a clean part of the plate to get rid of any excess paint. You don’t want too much paint on the sponge as it will create a “drip effect” — and that can mess things up quickly.

Once you start your design on the wall, it tends to move quickly. This DIY is a good one because it doesn’t have to be perfect! We’ll call it “perfectly imperfect”. I messed up a few times, but to the naked eye, you can’t even tell. It’s definitely an EASY and QUICK project that will completely transform a room! Happy painting friends!
