A very creative and enterprising soul has taken it upon themselves to decorate their [bedroom wall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shells-shimmer-seafoam) with [paint sample charts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lick-the-one-campaign) from their local DIY store! As you can see, the results are awesome!

As rule, I dislike [free decorating ideas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodleface); normally they appear in women's weekly magazines and are just beyond bad; however, this tip currently doing the rounds on the web is a really awesome and totally free idea.

**Implications** - YOU'VE USED THIS EXACT PHRASING TODAY. PLEASE REWORD.

The green revolution is the backdrop that informs various disciplines and industries. Consumers that value environmental stewardship prize efficient design and turning waste in a product. Companies should reconsider what is generally regarded as waste and produce something with either artistic merit or functional value.
