3 Interior Painting Ideas for Impressing your Holiday Guests
Posted on September 23, 2019
Fall is setting in and the holidays will be here before you know it. Likely, you’ll have family and friends in your home. Set the stage to show off your home and decorations with a new coat of paint. Here are 3 interior painting ideas for impressing your holiday guests.
Entryway
The entryway sets the tone for your whole home. It is the first impression your guests will get. Make sure this area is painted with a clean color that is a great background for decorations. While you take coats for hanging, you’re friends and family will have a moment to take it all in.
For entryway and hallway areas like foyers and staircases, it’s generally a good idea to use a white as the background. Garlands and wreaths will take all of the bland feeling from the room. Some decorators have had great success working with deep reds, not christmasy. You’ll need to remember this color remains after the decorations have gone. Make sure the color works year round.
Bathrooms
When planning your decorations for the holidays, your mind doesn’t typically go to the bathroom. This is a room your guests will be in though. Bathrooms are typically smaller projects that can give your home a newer feeling. Feel free to get creative with the colors in the powder room. A cheery pink, soft gold or nearly white sets a clean and warm feeling for the room. It sets the bathroom up for a happy holiday season. Focus on the bathroom that will be used the most by guests, whether it’s a guest room bathroom or the half bath off the main living area. There is less risk in painting a smaller room, so go wild with your plans.
Kitchen
No matter how lovely and comfortable your dining or living room is, everyone ends up in the kitchen. Between meal prep, filling wine glasses and just enjoying the smells wafting from the oven, it seems the whole family goes to the kitchen.
A new color will cover up old messes and stains from spaghetti sauce gone awry. Since your kitchen will be on display, why not take time to give it a new look. Make sure you choose a finish that is semi-gloss or glossy to allow you to easily wash messes from walls. This will keep your walls looking nice year round, not just for the holidays.
