Should I Paint That? Painting Floors
THEY are right there, literally under our feet – our floors. And we rarely pay them much attention. But a fresh coat of paint can do wonders for a floor of almost any hard material. (Carpets a little less so to be fair.) Whether wood, concrete, tile, lino or plywood, here are our Top 10 Tips for fantastic floors to finish your rooms to perfection:
Should I Paint That? Painting Ceilings
EYES tend to stay looking forward or down – it is not often people actually look upwards. So it is very easy to overlook your ceiling when deciding to freshen up a room with some redecoration – especially if it is not in any obvious poor repair. But just because it is up there, out of the way, does not mean your ceiling is not an important feature of your room.
Should I Paint That? Painting Trim for the Best Results
This one seems like an obvious answer. Yes, of course you should paint your trim. If you spend the time to paint an entire room but leave your trim undone, it will look old and out-of-place against your richly colored new walls. Whether the trim is old and has been through a lot of wear and tear or you just need to update your color scheme, you definitely don’t want to ignore trim. However, it’s certainly worth discussing how to do it right because it’s not as easy as just rolling a coat of paint or two onto the walls. So, here’s how to get your trim looking fresh and fine.
Should I Paint That? Tile
The process of removing and installing new tile during a home remodel, renovation, or revamp, can be downright grueling. Tile is the kind of stuff that’s built to last, and making a change to it involves a lot of time and effort. No one wants to spend hours chipping away at existing tile and leveling out the surface underneath just to embark on the delicate and difficult venture of carefully installing the new stuff. There is another option, however, and it might sound a little crazy, but it could save you not only time but a fair amount of money. Paint it!
Should I Paint That? Kitchen Cabinets
Doing work on your kitchen is one of the best ways to increase or add value to your home. If you’re in a position to do a full remodel, go for it, because it will offer you some of the greatest returns on your investment in your home. If, however, you’re not in a position to invest a lot of money into redoing your kitchen space, you can make a big change just by adding some fresh paint. There are lots of different ideas that you can consider when it comes to adding paint in the kitchen and you can read about some of our ideas here, in last month’s blog. If you’ve decided that you want to paint your cabinets to spruce things up a bit, we’re here to give you some tips and tricks.
