Tips for Interior House Painting Before the Holidays

Posted on October 10, 2019

Now that fall is upon us, the holidays will creep up rather quickly. Out of nowhere, it’s time to host family and friends for get-togethers. It’s an exciting and busy season. If you want to paint your walls for a crisp backdrop to holiday decor, now is the time to get moving! Here are 6 tips for interior house painting before the holidays.

Hiring professionals can take a bit longer than grabbing a can of paint and hitting the walls. With deadlines like these, you’ll need to get in the queue now. You might be surprised how quickly the crews book up. Begin the planning now by scheduling an estimate appointment.

1. Prioritize

Sit down with a good old-fashioned notepad and make a list. There should be two columns: Need and Want. Some rooms might be in worse shape than others. Also, look at rooms that will be used. A guest bedroom might not be a priority if no one is planning on staying overnight while a guest bath could receive much more use than the bedroom.

2. Palette

If you are taking on painting multiple rooms, consider a cohesive palette. A stylish color that flows from room to room will create a magazine-worthy home with little effort. Rooms that are within eyesight of each other should be considered when you pick colors. Also keep in mind, as we head into the holidays, it can seem tempting to set off your holiday decor with matching colors. Remember, this color will still be on the walls long after the garlands have come down.

3. Focus

Where does your family typically congregate at functions? Even the poshest living room is often overlooked for huddling around the kitchen counter. If this is the case in your home, consider painting the rooms you will use. A new wall coating in the kitchen can protect and clean up the walls for a fresh look.

4. Cabinets

Kitchen cabinets can age a kitchen quickly. If your cabinets are looking a bit downtrodden, you could be looking at an expensive replacement. But before you sign the dotted line, know that you have an option. Consider painting your cabinets to give them a refresh that doesn’t cost as much as a new set.

Remember, the holidays are for good times and family. Getting ready to host is half the fun. Whether you’re in the League City or Galveston area, f you want interior house painting work done but you’re not equipped to handle it yourself, schedule a free, in-home estimate with us. It’s no obligation!
