At Amy Howard at Home, we believe every room in your home has the potential to become a jewel box—a place filled with beauty, harmony, and timeless design. In a recent Finish Friday live, Amy shared three exciting projects from her own home: a grandson’s bedroom makeover, an elegant guest bedroom update, and the highly anticipated launch of our brand-new hand-painted mural collection.
These transformations highlight the power of color drenching, the luxury of Luxe Lacquer, and the artistry of a mural that brings history and beauty to modern walls. Let’s dive into each update and explore how you can recreate these looks in your own home.
Nef’s Bedroom: Calm and Cozy with Color Drenching
The first stop on Amy’s tour is her grandson Nef’s room, painted in the rich, warm shade Lakeside Cabin from our ManorBorne Wall Paint collection. The technique used here is called color drenching—painting the ceiling, walls, trim, and doors all in the same shade.
This approach eliminates harsh contrasts, creating a soothing, cohesive environment. Perfect for bedrooms, color drenching makes a space feel calm, enveloping, and incredibly sophisticated.
-
Walls & Trim: Painted with ManorBorne Wall Paint, featuring ceramic beads that create a matte yet scrubbable finish.
-
Doors & Ceiling: Finished in Miracle Paint, which combines primer, paint, and sealer for durability on surfaces like vents, trim, and even ceiling fans.
The result? A space that feels serene, fresh, and welcoming—perfect for both kids and guests.
Guest Bedroom: Luxe Lacquer for Dramatic Shine
Next, Amy shared progress in the guest bedroom, where the ceiling and trim received just one coat of Luxe Lacquer in Glacier Gray. Luxe Lacquer is one of our most stunning products—it delivers a mirror-like gloss that reflects light and transforms any surface into a statement piece.
Unlike traditional finishes, Luxe Lacquer requires no primer, making it easy to achieve a professional result. Paired with the upcoming Palmeta wallpaper, the glossy Glacier Gray trim and ceiling elevate the room with elegance and depth.
-
Luxe Lacquer Finish: Available in gallons for large projects like trim, doors, and ceilings.
-
Color: Glacier Gray, a sophisticated hue with blue undertones that pairs beautifully with bold patterns and soft neutrals alike.
This guest room demonstrates how a single finish can completely shift the mood of a space—adding drama without overwhelming the design.
The Big Reveal: Hand-Painted Mural Launch
The most exciting update is the launch of Amy Howard at Home’s new hand-painted mural collection. Inspired by centuries of decorative art, these murals bring history, artistry, and timeless beauty into today’s interiors.
Each mural is:
-
Hand-Painted & Digitally Reproduced: Every brushstroke was painted by hand to ensure authentic depth and character.
-
Printed on Archival Paper: Featuring a woven texture for durability and elegance.
-
Scaled for Real Homes: Four-panel repeats that can be trimmed to fit standard 8-foot ceilings or extended for taller spaces.
Amy’s personal favorite, the Sepia Mural, captures delicate birds, butterflies, and botanicals in rich, natural tones. It’s versatile enough for entryways, dining rooms, master bedrooms, or powder rooms—instantly transforming any wall into a work of art.
