15 Home Décor Influencers Compete with Budget Makeovers in Fifth Annual FrogTape® Paintover Challenge®

Using Only Paint, FrogTape® and $500, Influencers Transform Rooms to Win a Donation for Room to Dream Foundation

How do you completely revamp a room in desperate need of a pick-me-up without breaking the bank? Just add paint! FrogTape^® brand painter’s tape is showing just how simple it can be to refresh your space, even when on a budget, with the fifth annual Paintover Challenge^®. The room transformation contest, which kicks off on June 17, challenges 15 of the country’s top DIY décor influencers to redesign a space using only paint, FrogTape^® brand painter’s tape and $500.

Each of the participating influencers has been assigned one of the five 2020 FrogTape^® Design Trends – identified by celebrity interior designer, Taniya Nayak – to incorporate within their project. The room transformations will be documented on FrogTapePaintoverChallenge.com, to show how easy it is to incorporate the latest trends. Nayak will then narrow down the pool to five finalists and leave it to the public to vote for the top makeover. The public can cast one vote per day and each vote will count as an entry into a sweepstakes to win $1,000 for their own home update. The winning blogger, announced on September 4, will receive $2,500 and FrogTape^® will also make a $2,500 donation to Room to Dream Foundation on their behalf.
