Paint with Impact: Mini Makeover with 5 Litres (or Less)

Universal Paints believe a little paint can make a big difference. That’s why with just 5 litres (or less) of premium paint, you can transform a room or a space into something entirely new—without the need for a costly overhaul. A few litres hold the power to refresh, inspire and re-energise your home in ways that are stylish, lasting and surprisingly simple to achieve.

Focus your change where it counts
Instead of painting all four walls, choose a feature wall, a ceiling, a doorway arch or a single accent area – behind a bed, in a reading nook, or even inside a cupboard or shelving recess. Use the paint to frame a focal point or provide contrast. In a small powder room, a single rich tone can feel luxurious and enveloping without overwhelming.

Play with scale and technique
A stripe, a simple block design, or an ombré fade can stretch your litreage. Vertical stripes draw the eye upward; a low horizontal band expands width. A stencil or geometric motif lets you layer shapes without fully covering everything. All of this can be achieved in small doses of paint but with big visual payoff.

Why Universal Paints is your perfect partner
Universal Paints’ quality formulas deliver lasting results—and not just in theory. Their low-VOC paints support healthier indoor air quality, ideal when you’re transforming a living space. And the brand confidently guarantees a 10-year life expectancy on their premium coatings, so your small splash of colour continues to perform beautifully over time.

Plan carefully, finish boldly
Measure carefully (calculator), buy just enough, choose your tools wisely (a small roller, angled brush) and most importantly prime where needed. Within that limited 5 litre budget, you’ll punch above your weight: a bold accent, a refreshed niche, an impactful arch. It’s proof that creativity and quality, can drive great design.
