No, we’re not suggesting that you go to your local paint store and walk out with hundreds of paint chips and strips. If you’ve recently (or not-so-recently) painted your home or are in a home decorating-related field, chances are you have plenty of them floating around – maybe you even have an outdated book of samples!
The great thing about paint chips is that you usually wind up with a lot of them in coordinating shades, perfect for ombre effects. When you’re done with them, don’t throw them out – upcycle them. Paint chip decor is especially apropos for home decorating lovers and professional interior decorators, adding a riot of color and cheer to any space.
Check out these awesome ideas for colorful home decor featuring the humble paint chip.
Art

Sometimes plain art just won’t cut it. Try paint chips on a larger scale to make a statement.
