Hand Painted Floor
I love painting. it's so fun and I especially love to paint the walls of my house. I love it so much that sometimes, after all the walls are painted, I look for other things to paint, too! If you think about it, a floor is like a wall, too, because it's the last flat surface of your room, the only one that appears at the bottom of your feet. But it can be treated like a wall, too, and is definitely paintable. This works best if you have concrete floors, but wooden flooring is fine, as well. If you have tiles, painting the individual tiles will look better than trying to paint one whole image onto the entire floor itself.
There are different ways of painting your floor. Stenciling is a rather popular option, as it lessens the pressure to paint a masterpiece on your own. Also, the designs will be more uniform and consistent. Another possibility is to just free hand it, which may seem difficult at first, but if you already have something in mind, it might actually be an easier solution than stenciling. A third option would be to combine the two, stenciling and then modifying the stencil paintings after.
