Just doing one or two of these could really give your home and your spirit a positive lift and start the new year off right.
Complete Interior Painting
Are you feeling ready to refresh your worn-out-home? If so, consider a complete interior repaint. It is one of the most satisfying changes you will ever see - it’s like a whole new house! A few color choice tips:
Kitchen: Opt for color — something energizing or bold. A kitchen is a more active room in a home, so you want the color to match that mood.
Living Room: A neutral color in the living room is best, say real estate agents. The living room tends to be a large open space where punches of personality come through in the furniture and artwork. If you’re after more pops of color, create an accent wall.
Bathroom: Many bathrooms tend to have white tiles around the tub and other parts of the room, and if you use white as the paint color, any dirt will end up being the highlight of the room. Try something bold and dark to keep it looking clean — and to contrast with the tiling.
Bedroom: In your bedroom, pick a color that you find relaxing. For some people, this might mean warmer colors, but for others, they might prefer cooler tones. Shades of blue can often have a calming effect, so cool or warm blues can be a great choice for the bedroom. Certain grays or purples or greens have blue in them, so can also achieve a desired calming effect.
Dining Room: For dining rooms in particular, base your decision on how much natural light the room gets. If there’s a lot, pick a fun, energizing color like a jewel tone to keep the space feeling active. But if you don’t have any or have very little natural light, use a paint color that brightens the space, like white or off-white.
