Are you wondering what quick paint transformations you can tackle before Christmas or that anniversary party? This is what usually happens: the countdown to that family gathering is on and while you’re shopping, baking, and doing home prep, you start thinking that the paint in your home could use a quick refresh. The good news is that you don’t need to take on a massive renovation to make a big impact. You don’t need to go big to be impactful. Here are a few quick paint projects that can transform your home before your guests arrive.
1. Touch Up Your Trim and Baseboards
Trim and baseboards endure a lot of wear and tear over time. It’s the kind of thing that you’re not usually paying much attention to, but makes a big difference in the look of a room when updated. Freshening trim up with a coat of crisp white or complementary neutral paint can make your space look clean and polished—perfect for impressing guests.
2. Create an Accent Wall
Want to elevate the style in your living or dining room? Painting one wall in a bold colour or soft hue, whether it’s an earthy sage green, classic navy, or bold black, you can completely transform a room without requiring a full repaint. If you’re looking for colour inspiration, check out our blog on Various Brand Paint Colours of the Year or Benjamin Moore’s Colour of the Year.
3. Quick Paint Transformations Before Christmas: Kitchen
The kitchen is the heart of the home, no matter what the holiday or special event is. If your cabinets are looking tired, a repaint can give them a like-new appearance. If you aren’t quite ready to decide about your cabinets, you do have time to refresh the room by updating the paint on the walls, ceiling and trim. Our professional colour consultant can help you decide on colours.
Pro Tip: Use specialized cabinet paint for a durable finish.
4. Quick Paint Transformations Before Christmas: Powder Room
Powder rooms get a lot of traffic during holiday and family gatherings, making them the perfect place for a quick paint refresh. Choose from a plethora of tranquil spa colours like Breath of Fresh Air 806 or Italian Ice Green 2035-70 or go bold with a colour like Mysterious AF-565 that can’t decide whether it’s blue, grey or black. A simple, elegant grey can also create a luxurious feel, even in a small space.
5. Quick Paint Transformations Before Christmas: Kids Spaces
If your guests include children, consider painting the play area a fun colour, or creating a simple accent wall. Chalkboard paint is a great option for creating a wall they can draw and doodle on without having to bust out the magic eraser!
Why Start Now?
The key to completing any paint job before Christmas time or any other big holiday or family event is to start early. For starters, you don’t need the stress of having to think about this while there’s a roast in the oven. You also want to give yourself time think about colour choices…not to mention ample time for paint to dry and cure for a flawless finish.
