Winter Home Ideas for Interior Painters: Entryway Refresh
Cozying up at home is a true winter delight. But if we’re not careful, by the middle of the season, many of us can start to feel a little restless or get the midwinter blues. One great way to avoid the winter slump and reenergize is by refreshing your home’s interior. The following winter home renewal idea for your entryway should get you started.
Redecorate and Choose a New Paint Color for Your Entryway or Hall
At this time of year, your home’s entryway really works overtime, providing a major transition point between the cozy interior and the chilly outdoors. Coats, boots, scarves and gloves can begin to pile up from family and guests, choking the passageway.
Storage Bench and Coat Rack
If you don’t already have a place to hang and store these items, adding a storage bench with a built-in coat rack will be a useful and stylish addition. Another option is to install a simple set of coat hooks on the wall and add a separate shoe organizer or baskets underneath.
Damage-Free, Easy-Install Options
The “damage-free” stick-on coat hooks available now with sleek metallic finishes provide yet another easy-install option. Just be sure to pick the ones large enough to support the heavy weight of a winter coat.
Before you install anything on the wall surface, be sure to consider updating the entryway walls with a fresh, new paint color first. This will really pull everything together and give the space that “wow” effect. Choose a paint with a satin or eggshell finish to stand up to heavy entryway traffic. These sheens are more stain- and wear-resistant than a flat finish.
The entryway is such a unique and significant space in our homes. It’s amazing how readily we can overlook updating this important area. An entryway refresh can really lift our spirits as we come and go each day. If you’re ready to make your update, CertaPro can assist you with paint color selection and professional painting.
