Interior Painting Can Offer a Quick Fix to Your Home for the Holidays

Holiday Table Setting

With the holidays fast approaching, so are your holiday visitors. Is your home company-ready? If not, there?s still time to do something about it. You can dramatically upgrade your décor in just a weekend ? or even a day ? by doing some interior painting. And this type of remodeling is affordable even in the gift-giving season, typically costing a do-it-yourselfer less than $100 a room.

Why is it that we tend to spot the deficiencies in our décor just before family and friends are due to arrive?

In the throes of day-to-day living, most of us become somewhat blind to the condition of our rooms, including their color. But when it really counts, we take a harder, more critical look. All too often, we don?t like what we see. When that happens, we are left with a couple of options: We can panic. . . or paint!

Nothing changes the appearance of a home interior faster, or more effectively, than a fresh coat of interior paint. And, giving a room an entirely new appearance at holiday-time will help lift your spirits and that of your guests.

What?s especially nice about painting just prior to the holidays is that you can even choose colors that are just right for the season, as long as you?ll still love them when the day is done.

At Thanksgiving, fall colors that mirror the time of the year are most attractive ? harvest gold, ochre, brown, beige, and rust, for example. And nothing is cozier and more inviting at Christmas or New Year?s than a special dinner set in a beautiful dining room decked out in a deep shade of red or green paint.

Assuming that your pre-holiday painting is focused on rooms that will be filled with people, keep in mind that paints with higher levels of sheen will be more stain-resistant and easier to clean. Certainly the woodwork, but even the walls, in gathering spots like the kitchen, kids? playroom, and rec room should be done with semi-gloss paint. To make cleaning even easier, be sure to use 100% acrylic latex interior paint.

And keep in mind that top quality latex paint offers another nice advantage: It?s a ?green? product with very low odor; plus, any minor odor it does have will dissipate very quickly. Even if you paint only a short time before your guests arrive, no-one will catch a whiff of it!
