Winter is a great time to take on interior painting projects. Not only is it safe to paint in the colder months, but your local painting contractors are also likely to have more availability, meaning they can get the job done on an accelerated timeline.
Whether you’re looking to spruce up your place ahead of the holiday season, or finally have time in your schedule for those home improvement projects you’ve been putting off–winter is the perfect season to give your home the much-needed love it deserves. If you need some inspiration, check out these easy home improvement projects below.
Tackle Smaller Projects
You don’t always have to go big or go home. Sometimes the smallest painting projects can have the biggest impact on your space. Smaller projects take less time to complete and often take less time to dry as well. So if you’re looking for something quick and easy that will get your home looking holiday-ready, consider these smaller projects:
Paint Your Staircase Railings
Painting your staircase railings is a fun and easy winter project that goes a long way. Adding a fresh coat of paint to cover an outdated wood stain or old paint job will help your stairs pop and bring new life to that area of your home. A new paint job looks especially nice when the time comes to bust out the holiday lights, garland, and other decor.
Refresh Your Kitchen Cabinets
Painting your kitchen cabinets makes a massive difference. And since the kitchen is considered the heart of the home, it’s a worthwhile project to take on. If you plan on doing any entertaining during the winter holiday season, having cabinets that look brand new is an easy way to impress your friends and family.
Touch Up The Trim
If your trim is looking chipped or stained, you’d be surprised just how far a little touch-up can go. From wainscotting to crown moulding, and everything in between–crisp, freshly painted trim can change the appearance of an entire room. For an even bigger impact consider painting your trim a new, fun colour as well.
Give Your Basement A Boost
It’s all too easy to let your basement go by the wayside. Out of sight, out of mind. From unfinished paint jobs to damaged or stained walls, odds are your basement could use a touch-up this chilly season. And because excess moisture is a common basement issue, painting in the dry, cool winter air is better for your basement than the wet, humid air of summer.
Even if your basement is a finished living space, painting the walls and ceiling in a fresh coat of neutral paint can help brighten up the room and make it feel more welcoming. Consider adding an accent wall with a bold colour or fun wallpaper to add some personality to your space.
Make Bold Colour Changes
Winter brings with it the start of a new year which often results in resolutions and dreams of starting over. With all that change in the air, winter is the perfect time to step outside of your comfort zone and make some bold paint colour choices. From forest green living rooms to terracotta kitchens–don’t be afraid to try something completely new.
You can also add in some colour through accessories like throw pillows, curtains, or area rugs. These can easily be switched out for different seasons if you end up falling out of love with the bold hue. You can even refinish old furnitures with a fresh coat of paint in your favourite bright colour.
