Refreshing a Home With Paint

Brightening dark areas, creating a new look, or simply changing things can be done by refreshing a home with paint.

It takes little effort to transform a home into a new, inviting space. Brightening dark areas, creating a new look, or simply changing things can be done by refreshing a home with paint.

This can involve a portion of the home makeover. By changing the colors of some critical areas or highlighting a fixture, the home can take on a new, fresh look. Here are a few suggestions about how to do so:

Front door

Painting the front door is an easy way to give a home's exterior a more personal feel. It's not uncommon to paint them with eye-catching colors. However, there is a growing trend of painting front doors in vibrant, non-traditional hues. Painting a front door is a relatively small project, but it can change the home's look exponentially.

Home exterior

Old, worn, or peeling paint on a home's exterior can be an eyesore. Not only can this lower its value, but it also gives the appearance of an unkempt house. A professionally painted home exterior may increase the home's value, and there are also other benefits. Fresh paint will protect the exterior from weather damage and insects, allowing the professionals to inspect for possible damage.

Kitchen cabinets

One can transform a kitchen into a new and inviting cooking space by painting the kitchen cabinets. This relatively easy task will only put the kitchen out of commission for a short time. Adding fresh paint to cabinets is inexpensive to give the room a new look. This can be achieved by stripping and repainting the cabinets, giving them the appearance of being new, or by going with an entirely different color.

Main living space

There's no need to paint the entire interior of a home to give it a fresh, new look. Instead, many homeowners opt to paint the room or rooms they spend the most time in: living room, kitchen, and dining area.

The living room is usually a home's most popular hangout space. A fresh coat of paint can liven it up. Another option is to paint one wall a contrasting or complementary color, depending on the homeowner's style and taste.

There are many options for refreshing a kitchen with paint. Homeowners aren't limited to simply painting the walls a solid color. A technique known as color blocking is a great way to define different areas of a room. For example, painting a faux backsplash or a breakfast nook with a contrasting color to the walls will give these areas new life.

Dining areas or dining rooms can be livened up with fresh paint or even repainted with an entirely new color. In addition, designating a specific color or scheme of colors can further define the room.

Trim

An often-forgotten element of the home design that can be enhanced is floor, door, and wall trim. These elements can sometimes become worn or dull. Instead, one can paint them a different color than the walls. Also, try experimenting with different colors.

Refreshing a home with paint can be a job as big or small as desired. A home painting professional can assist with all available options and give the homeowner time for more pleasant endeavors.
