Ideas to Help with Pre-Holiday Painting Projects

Posted on September 28, 2021

This year’s holiday celebrations are set to be extra special this year. Everyone is looking forward to spending the holidays together after being separated last year due to the pandemic. We now know that being physically together is a privilege that we may not get every year. So why not start the planning now for your much anticipated holiday parties? Certapro painters will assist you with all your pre-holiday interior painting projects

A few ideas to help begin your pre-holiday painting projects

Ask these questions

  • Do you have many guests coming to stay for an extended holiday visit?
  • Should you focus on your main living rooms that need a painting refresher?
  • Do you have interior walls that need to be repaired prior to painting?

Our professional painters can help guide you in deciding which projects should be completed prior to the holidays. Doing a detailed walk through your home with our Certapro contractors with pen & paper is a great idea. Try to take copious notes so you will have detailed references to consult when you make your final decisions.

This is also a great way to provide detailed guidelines for the painters to follow. This walk thru meeting allows our contractors to provide you with a more precise timeline and cost estimate of your project.

Does your kitchen need a refresher?

When family comes to visit, the kitchen usually becomes a gathering center during the holidays. If you expect to have a bunch of squatters chatting around your kitchen island while you prepare Christmas meals, you may want to consider giving your kitchen cabinets a painting refresher. Newly painted cabinets will really brighten up your kitchen. They immediately pop with color and become the key focal point of the room.

Have you checked your crown molding and/or built in shelves to see if they need a painting update? Holiday decorations will call lots of attention to old chipped paint on door frames and molding. There are many different interior surfaces you can update with new paint to give your home’s interior a refreshed holiday look. So remember, you can plan to paint far beyond your walls when consulting with your Certapro painters

Color changes for the holidays?

Have you thought about changing up your whole interior color scheme for the holidays?

When painting your home’s interior, colors from adjacent rooms should flow throughout the house. Abrupt bright, bold colors should not be placed next to one another.

Of course, all of your home’s walls do not have to match exactly. But the interior colors should at least follow a matching scheme.

This is a great opportunity to utilize our Certapro professionals and their expertise. We will help you in choose appropriate colors that you will adore and your guests will envy during their holiday visit.

Questions to ask about your pre-holiday painting project

When you begin a pre-holiday painting project, it can be hard not to match your color palette with all your holiday decorations. However, it is important to remember that your walls’ colors will be there after this holiday season is long gone.

Here are just a few questions to ask yourself when planning your interior painting project:

  • Where does your family actually stay during visiting time?
  • Do you play board games in the den until late at night?
  • Does everyone gravitate to the kitchen even when food is not being prepared?
  • Do you even use your formal dining room?
  • Do you all eat surrounding the TV in the living room watching holiday movies or sports?

The answers to these important questions can provide insight that will guide your project to success. When you hire great professionals like Certapro, your pre-holiday painting project will be no stress at all.
