Rethinking your interior paint and design is always a fun process; who doesn’t like to watch fresh colors glide over their walls, spreading new style throughout a room? There are certain times, though, when it is especially satisfying. Moving into a new place and making it your own is certainly one of those times, or maybe erasing a particularly outdated element in your home (how about that old wallpaper in the dining room?).
One of the best of these magical times to paint is right before the holidays. Friends, guests, and family arrive, maybe seeing your home for the first time in a long time, and it can be extremely fun to hear them say, “Wow!”
The question is, where do you start?
Focus Your Pre-Holiday Painting
If you are interested in maximizing the impact of your interior painting before the holidays are officially here, you might take these ideas into consideration:
- Make a Plan – Take a few minutes to really think through your strategy. Few things are worse than reaching the end of a project, then wishing you had done something different or approached it from a different direction.
- Take Multiple Spaces Into Account – A good interior design scheme should flow from room to room, connecting spaces in a way that makes sense. Try overlapping colors; paint an accent decoration in one room the same color as the wall in the next room over.
- Maximize the “Wow” Factor – Focus your painting power on the places that will make the biggest difference for your guests: kitchens, bathrooms, and dining rooms are the big ones.
- Cabinet Refinishing – This is much more cost-effective than replacing your cabinets, and it makes a radical transformation in your home very quickly.
- Try an Accent Wall – Especially in a kitchen where there is often not as much blank wall space to work with, try painting an accent color. It takes less time than painting an entire room, but it makes a big stylistic difference.
- Ask a Professional Painter! – Asking a local, reputable painting company for help takes the stress (and time commitment!) right out of the project. What could be better than that? Just make sure to do your research so that you know you’ve found the right painting company for you.
