The holidays will be here before you know it, and that means relatives and friends visiting your home. For many people, having visitors creates some tension and self-consciousness about the areas of their homes that they feel need improvement. One of the most effective ways to upgrade your home’s interior is a fresh coat of paint. Whether you want to paint every room a new color or freshen up the colors you already have, the team at Corriveau Contracting are the NH painters for the job.
Take these tips from NH painters to get your home holiday-ready!
Prioritize Gathering Spaces
You want your home to look beautiful for your guests, but they won’t be in every room. Prioritize the rooms where your guests will gather and spend time. They will most likely spend the most time in your living room, kitchen, and dining room. Guest bathrooms are usually small and easy to squeeze into your pre-holiday paint job, too. If no one is spending the night, save the bedrooms for another time. If you will have overnight guests, you only need to worry about the rooms they will be staying in.
Revisit Your Color Choices
Did you feel pressured to make a decision the first time you painted your living room and now you really hate the color you picked? Now’s your chance to try again! Look at your decor and identify the colors that you like the best. You could draw color inspiration from anything from art to throw pillows. Pulling in colors from your decor will not only tie the room together, but it will also ensure that you pick a color that you really love.
Leave Enough Time
The holidays always arrive sooner than you think. Because of the time crunch, you want to ensure that you have enough time to complete any projects before guests start pouring into your home. The rooms where your guests will spend the most time also tend to be the largest rooms in your house. So if you want to be finished painting in time for the holidays, it’s best to start now!
