4 Important Tips for Holiday Home Painting Projects

After having to cancel all our holiday plans last year, we are all looking forward to celebrating the holidays together in person with friends and family. The holiday parties this year will surely be extra special because now we all understand that being together is a privilege that we may not always have every year.  So, while we are still enjoying the crisp Fall weather, why not start planning for all these highly anticipated holiday celebrations? Certapro painters can help you with all your home painting projects for the holiday season.

Here are four tips to help you plan your holiday interior painting project:

• Where to Start?

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

One of our professional painters can help you decide which projects are most important and which ones you need to be completed prior to the holidays. We suggest doing a walk through your home with our contractor and a pen and a paper to make notes so you will have a reference when you sit down to make your final decisions. This is also a quick but thorough way to provide guidelines for the painters. It also allows them to provide you with a more precise timeline and cost estimate of your project.

• Want to paint more than your walls?

When families get together, the kitchen quickly becomes a gathering center during the holidays. If  you regularly have a bunch of squatters who like to chat around your kitchen island, you may want to give your cabinets a refresher in addition to, or rather than your walls. Newly painted cabinets will brighten up your kitchen. They can become a key focal point that people notice first when entering the room.

Or does your crown molding and/or built in shelves need a painting update? Holiday decorations can highlight old chipped door frames and molding. There are many more interior surfaces you can paint to give your home a holiday refreshed look. So remember to look beyond your walls when consulting with your Certapro painters 

• Want to change your color palette?

What about a change to your present color scheme for the holidays? Or how about using new hues to all your walls? When painting your home’s interior, colors from adjacent rooms should flow throughout the house. Of course, your home’s walls certainly do not have to be the same shade. However, the interior colors should at least follow a matching scheme or plan. This is a great time to utilize the professionals and their expertise. They can assist you in choosing appropriate colors that you will love and your guests will envy during their holiday visit.

• A few more suggestions

When planning an interior painting project around holiday time, it can be difficult not to match your color palette with all your holiday decorations. However, remember that your wall’s colors will remain after the holiday season is long gone.

Here are a few questions to consider 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?

These questions should provide some insight to guide your project to success. When you hire and plan with great professionals like Certapro, your holiday painting project can be no holiday stress at all.
