Does the color on your walls look dull or faded? By following just a few of the steps in this interior painting guide, you can use interior painting to turn your home into a vibrant space that you love coming home to every day.

How to Choose Paint Color

The first thing you will want to think about with interior painting, is the existing furniture and decor. Most decorators will choose a color based on the existing elements, rather than picking a paint color first and designing the rest of the room decor around it. Find the favorite pieces in your room, then you can look at picking colors that blend in with, or complement these pieces.

Many people believe that the kitchen is the heart of the home and we at The Painting Craftsmen couldn’t agree more. Your kitchen might be cozy but over time you might consider remodeling or cabinet refinishing. This would give your favorite room a nice fresh look.

While some kitchen remodeling projects can easily be done in a few hours, cabinet refinishing is a complicated process. While we don’t advise doing this on your own, if you have the proper tools, adequate ventilation and know what kind of finish you have on your existing cabinets, it can be a do it yourself project.

Using professional painters at The Painting Craftsmen can keep the interior surfaces of homes looking fresh and beautiful. Through a variety of traditional and modern painting techniques, our team of professional painters can restore and create flawless finishes that will stand up to the test of time and please any homeowners taste.
