Interior and Exterior Painting Projects with Spectacular Results

Remodeling your home can be a daunting task. The planning alone can have you longing for a stress nap and preparing to cut down on spending. Ease tensions and keep the sledge hammer in storage. These simple paint projects can give your home a new feel in a hurry, at a low cost.

Exterior Painting

We all judge books by their covers whether we admit it or not. Giving your shutters a new coat or color can help you ensure these snap judgments are in your favor.

A few tips:

• Clean before painting: If your shutters are not cleaned and dried before painting, your results will be second-rate. Do it right.
• Prep to last: Apply a primer before painting to ensure your new look lasts.
• Appropriate paint: Make sure you are using an exterior paint that matches the material of your shutters.

Front Door Painting

You may have seen a house with a front door painted in a color that pops. It is more than a door, it’s an introduction. Whether you are painting the front door to a house or a door to a bedroom, it sets the impression for what’s to come.

You don’t have to use the loud, attention grabbing colors. Think about the mood you’re trying to set for the home or room you are introducing and go for an honest feel. The quality of the paint will do the rest

Interior Painting

Doorways, entryways, and archways provided a powerful transition from one room to another. Thus, their color has an important impact on how rooms are received.

Consider these adjustments to bring your transitions from clash to splash:

• Consistency: Keeping your entryway the same color as connecting rooms creates an easy transition and consistent feel.
• Statement: Different shades provide definition. Have the entryway leaning towards the shade of the room you’d like to feel more dominant.
• Drama: Give the entryway a color independent of the connecting rooms. This is a bold way to make a statement and mark a transition.
• Clean it up: Entryways easily get scuffed, marked, and blemished. Small eyesores can give a drab feel and a new coat can make a huge difference.

Hallway

Hallways and stairways can feel limiting. The best response; let them be.

Offset the narrow, dark nature of these corridors with a color a few shades lighter than any of the connecting rooms. If you insist on utilizing a darker shade for these small spaces, paint a single dark wall at the end of the hallway to create an anchor and add depth.

Walls

The walls of our home contain our lives. It is essential to get the colors right in order to set the right mood. Follow these guidelines from the professionals at CertaPro Painters.

• Stick with whites, creams, and pastels. Dark and warmer colors create an undesirable closed-in feeling. Stay light, stay open.
• Using an accent wall can be a great way to create a focal point in the room.
• A bright white ceiling give your home the fresh feeling you’re looking for.

Quality colors and paints are easy to overlook. The results of a fresh paint job are understated but can make a home feel brand new. Before you make plans to tear down walls, rip up floors, and build additions, take the simple step that creates profound change. The right paint may be the only thing you’re looking for.
