There’s nothing easier than paint to revitalize something old, and with today’s bold color choices (apparently giving us permission to go nuts!), more and more designers and DIYers are doing just that with pinks, yellows, oranges, and all kinds of fun jewel tones. With today’s “Design Inspiration” chairs, you, too can shake it up a little and add a whimsical and non-threatening pop of excitement to your home. From simple solids to hand painted masterpieces, these sassy seats should inspire you to let loose and give in to your inner Matisse.

{Painted Queen of Love chairs}: okay, so these weren’t actually painted, but, I think these over-the-top thrones are fun and color motivating. Made of recyclable linear polyethylene and UV resistant and a bit on the pricey side ($895 a pop!)…how regal!
