Interior Painting Ideas for the Holiday Season
1. Add an Accent Wall: If you are working on a budget and looking for a simple solution to vamp up your space for the holidays consider adding an accent wall. Adding a color to a single wall can warm the space and enhance the overall aesthetics of the room. If you are happy with your existing color palette select a complementary color that will add to the overall feel of the space without having to paint the entire area.
2. Painting Kitchen & Bathroom Cabinets: If you don’t want to paint your walls, you can always elect to paint your cabinets instead. Select a color that will complement the color of your walls. If you are looking for contrast, consider painting your cabinets white or if the room receives an abundance of light, select a darker paint color. If your walls are neutral consider bright colors to add interest or pastels to give the space a relaxing comfy feel.
3. Warm Paint Color Palettes for Living Rooms & Guest Bedrooms: No matter where you live, the winter months not only bring cooler temperatures, they also bring shorter days. Consider adding a warm color palette in rich caramels or coffee colored hues to compensate for shorter daylight hours. An accent wall can work wonders for a guest room and your guests will love it.
By following these three painting ideas from the pros at McKays Painting, your home will be ready for the holiday season and the New Year ahead.
