Tired Of Your House? Repainting Might Be The Cure!

You've grown tired of the look of your home's interior, but you don't know how to cure it. Is a redecorating overhaul really necessary? The truth is, a simple paint job can transform your home into an exciting new space. These four interior repainting tips can help:

1. Change it up.

• Giving your home interior a fresh burst of color can breathe new life into your rooms. This is one simple way to make your house feel new and exciting again, without going overboard on spending.
• When you repaint your rooms, you may find that your old furniture looks wildly different in its new surroundings. Take advantage of this, and take the opportunity to reorganize your space. Changing the layout of your furniture can cure any feelings of aesthetic stagnation.

2. Mix and match colors.

• All of your interior doesn't have to be one color. In fact, painting different rooms of your house different colors is a great way to add some visual interest. This can be an especially effective tactic in homes with open layouts, according to Better Homes and Gardens. Color can help to differentiate one room from another, thus making your living space seem larger and more expansive.
• Use coordinating colors for a cohesive theme or branch out and try wild, contrasting colors for a bolder look. Painting wall molding in an accent color can also add visual interest.

3. Don't do-it-yourself.

• DIY can be a fun and satisfying trend in home decorating, but repainting your home's interior is a job best saved for professionals (much like haircuts). By hiring reputable, knowledgeable painting contractors, you're guaranteed to get a professional, beautiful outcome.
• Hiring painters can save you time and stress, leaving you more time to spend on your hobbies or with your family. Consider taking a mini-vacation and going out of town for the weekend while the painters work their magic.

3. Clear the room in preparation for painting.

• If you're planning on repainting the entire interior of your home, it's a good idea to invest in some short-term storage for bulky furniture. Most storage facilities operate on month-to-month contracts, so you won't be locked in with storage that you don't need while getting your belongings out of the way.
• If you have old furniture, clothes, or knickknacks that you don't love anymore, this can be a good opportunity to get rid of them. While you're putting things away for painting day, have a "donation box" for things you no longer need. Decluttering will cut down on the amount of things you need to put into storage.

Having your home repainted can be simple, fast, and easy. These tips will guide you through the process of transforming your house into your dream home in an inexpensive and stress-free manner.
