    Painting your home’s interior is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to give your space a fresh new look. With some planning, prep work, and a few coats of paint, you can transform the feel of a room or your entire home. Here are some tips on using paint to give your home a makeover.

    Choose Your Paint Colors Wisely

    The colors you choose can dramatically impact the look and feel of a space. Consider the size of the room and the mood you want to create. Cool colors like blues and greens open up smaller spaces, while warm neutrals like tans and grays make excellent backdrop colors in any room. Bold, saturated hues can make a dramatic statement on an accent wall. Be sure to pick up paint chips and samples to see how the colors look on your wall before committing to a full gallon.

    Prep Your Surfaces Properly

    Proper prep work is crucial for getting great results. Fill any holes or cracks with spackle and sand until smooth. Use painter’s tape to mask off trim, baseboards, and edges for a crisp paint line. Clean the walls to remove any dirt, grease, or soap residue so the paint adheres well. Use a de-glosser on slick surfaces to help the new paint stick. Prime bare drywall or when changing from a dark to a light paint color. Patience during prep will pay off later with a smooth finish.

    A firm that offers professional paint services will do all this before they start painting.

    Use High-Quality Paint Products

    Invest in good quality paint at a sheen level suited to the room. Flat or matte paint works well for hiding imperfections on walls and ceilings, while eggshell or satin sheens are ideal for trimming and adding durability in kitchens, baths, and kids’ rooms. Opt for interior paint labeled “zero VOC” to avoid unwanted paint smells. Purchase all the paint for a single room or project at the same time to ensure perfect color matching.

    Paint Ceilings and Walls First

    Start your painting project with the ceilings and walls. Use a paint edger to neatly cut in around the edges and trim. 

    Give Trim and Doors a Fresh Coat

    Painting the trim and doors the same color as the walls helps spaces appear more streamlined and modern. For a more classic look, opt for white or black trim that contrasts the wall color. 

    Add Color with Accent Walls

    Add an unexpected pop of color by painting one wall as an accent. Use the boldest hue from your main wall color; green for a living room, yellow in a kitchen, or blue in a bedroom. Paint the accent wall by cutting in the edges carefully with a brush, then rolling on paint in a “V” shape starting at the top of the wall. For more drama, choose a contrasting color like navy blue to make the accent really stand out.

    With some essential supplies, careful prep, and a few coats of paint, you can easily overhaul the look of any room. Be bold with your color choices and painting techniques to give your home an exciting makeover..
