4 Rooms to Paint for the Holidays

The humidity and thermometer might not feel like it, but it’s time to start planning for the holidays. Now is the time to spruce up your indoors before holiday guests and invitations arrive. This will allow your fall and winter decor to take center stage with freshly painted walls. Here are 4 rooms to paint for the holidays.

There is a season full of holiday excitement right around the corner so start planning now. Food, decorations, parties and more are sure to make it a fun and memorable time, albeit busy. That means for winter painting, it’s time to get moving today.

When picking a new color for your walls, remember while you want your holiday decorations to stand out, the color will remain long after the garland and candles have been packed away. It’s important to choose a color you can live with all year long. Choosing more neutral looks allow holiday colors to take center stage. Crisp colors like white, taupe or silver are a perfect middle ground. Want something warmer? Try yellow, green or beige.

Before your estimate appointment get an idea of the areas you would like to paint. Some rooms have been used a lot over the last 18 months. Here are the four most commonly painted rooms for the holidays.

Dining Room

Holiday parties and dinners will use the dining room in at least some capacity. While the room is often empty room or plays host to laundry piles and half completed homework. Give it new holiday life this winter with a pleasing color that will make the space feel renewed. Your hue should work with table linens, dishes and centerpieces you use for the holidays.

Kitchen

While you may not intend for your guests to be in the kitchen, they will congregate there. The room is very inviting to guests who want to help prep food, clean up or just chat over wine. With the extra messes caused from being home for 18 months, it’s expected that your walls may need some fresh paint. For a truly coordinated look, work with the color with your dining room.

Guest Rooms

The holidays have a way of encouraging visits from family and friends. While you’re taking inventory of towels, sheets and pillows, look over the guest room and bathroom walls. Stained or dingy walls can make your home feel unkempt. Apply a fresh color for a crisp room before everyone arrives.

Family Rooms

It’s not uncommon for many homes here to have formal living rooms or family rooms (that typically sit empty). Give a new backdrop to the room for opening gifts over the nights of Hannukah or Christmas morning with a new paint hue.
