Difficult to say without knowing what your style is, how good an artist

melamine, but, if I wanted to change them, I would probably paint a copy
of a Mucha or Dali painting that I liked onto them.

One of the suggestions on Mumsnet was for decoupage, which just means
cutting stuff out of magazines and pasting it on. I suspect that would
look far better than a badly-done paint job, so a lot depends on the
OP's skill levels.

Indeed. A cafe I use regularly had, until it changed hands, an
atrociously painted mural on one wall. The new owners wisely painted it
over and hung photographs instead.
