1. UV Paint Accents on Everyday Items

 

One of the easiest ways to transform any room into a UV paradise is with UV-reactive paint. Available in a range of neon colors, UV paint can be applied to everyday items like glass bottles, picture frames, or even plant pots. Place them around the space, then watch them glow when the blacklight hits!

Plus, they’re reusable, so you can bring them back out for your next UV-inspired event!
