Does your home feel dark? There are a lot of ways to brighten up your space without having to take on a huge home design project. If it’s been a number of years since you last painted the inside of your home there is a chance that you’re still living in the ultra-saturated colors that were extremely popular in the early 2000’s. These days popular paint colors have tended more toward lighter and brighter. So, if you find yourself wishing for a new look in your home, page through some home design magazines and find a new wall color that will make your space feel bright and open.
Clean New Finish
If it’s been a while since you painted, or if you have kids or pets, eventually your paint job simply needs updating. From fingerprints on your door frames to dog slobber by the back door, and even built up grease on the walls in your kitchen, your home’s interior paint experiences a fair amount of wear and tear over the years. In addition to the wear and tear of your homes residents, you may see that prolonged sun exposure dulls the intensity of your darker, bolder wall paint. So, whether you choose to update your color or simply refresh the wall colors you already love, a new coat of paint can go a long way to bring your walls back to the beautiful hue you started with.
Transition Your Style
Changing your interior paint color can also help to transition your style without having to commit to any big design changes or furniture purchases. Particularly in homes that still have outdated wallpaper, peeling back that paper and adding a clean and crisp new paint color can bring your house from outdated 80’s to current day with very little investment. The same goes for updating your children’s rooms as they age. While bubblegum pink might have seemed like a great idea for your daughter at age 5, she may be rethinking that 10 years later. With a stylish new paint, you can transform her room from little girl to teenager in just one day.
