Painting the floor can add an artistic touch to your bedroom.
If traditional flooring options such as wood, tile or carpet are beyond your budget or don't suit your taste, you may want to consider a painted floor. Painting the floor is a bold way to add visual interest to your bedroom and personalize your space. Painting your bedroom floor also allows you to better coordinate your flooring room's color and design scheme.
Instructions
1. Remove all furniture from the room, as well as all items you might need during the painting and drying process, which can be more than a week.
2. Remove all baseboards from your bedroom walls, and store them to be replaced once your bedroom floor has dried. If this is not possible, apply painters tape along the edges of your baseboards to keep paint off them.
3. Apply primer to your floor using a long-handled roller. Start in the corner furthest from the access door. Work your way out toward the door until you have covered the entire floor. Avoid walking or rolling over your progress by working backward out of the room. Allow the primer to dry for at least 24 hours.
4. Paint your bedroom floor in your desired color, using the same painting process as with your primer. Apply a second or even third coat if necessary, allowing for drying between coats. Allow the final coat to dry for 72 hours.
5. Apply a coat or two of a water-based sealant like polyurethane. This will add a slight gloss to your paint and protect your painted bedroom floor. Allow it to dry fully before putting your furniture back in your bedroom.
