Painting Projects for the Upcoming Holidays

Painting the guest bathroom is the perfect option for a home remodeling project that can be fun but won't take a long time.

Nothing brightens the room like repainted walls, whether during the holidays or choosing to tackle a home remodeling project. There are many creative ways paint can spruce up a room - such as creating an accent wall or completely transforming a room.

Let's discuss five painting ideas to make a home look unique and welcoming for the upcoming holidays.

Paint the guest bathroom

Painting the guest bathroom is the perfect option for a home remodeling project that can be fun but won't take a long time. First, consider where guests spend most of their time in your home—the living room, the kitchen, the guest bedroom, and the guest bathroom.

Look for a color that goes well with the ruling colors of the bathroom, including the tiles. Most guest bathrooms are predominantly white, so any pop of color can create stunning contrast.

Add a curve

Painting the entire room is undoubtedly a time-consuming project. However, if you want to zero in on a wall, adding a curve creates the perfect, eye-catching detail. What's more, it's not as difficult as it may seem.

A stronger color will create better contrast if the wall is beige, white, or gray. For example, combining beige and sage green has become an increasingly popular choice for curve designs. But, of course, it all depends on one's preference.

Monochromatic vs. complementary colors

The colors of the walls can change the entire atmosphere of the room. Using colors from the same palette creates a monochromatic look, making the room more organized and elegant.

The walls need to match the color of the furniture, or it will just look like a giant mess. So select one color that will be dominant and other colors that complement it.

This isn't the same as choosing colors from the same palette, where all colors are somewhat similar. Instead, complementary colors are on opposite sides of the color wheel. For example, green and magenta are complementary colors.

Consider color psychology

The walls' color can influence the mood. For example, warmer colors like red, orange, and yellow can lift energy, and yellow evokes positivity. Green is the most soothing color, ideal for the living room, kitchen, or bedroom. Blue is also soothing and would look great in a bathroom or bedroom.

Note that lighter colors can make the room appear larger, whereas darker colors have the opposite effect.

Paint an accent wall

An accent wall draws focus to that part of the room. It's similar to adding a curve on one wall, except it creates a more dramatic effect. Painting even one wall in a room can completely transform how it looks.

Accent walls are ideal for the living room. It can technically be any wall, but choosing the first wall you see upon entering that room is standard practice. If the other three walls are light-colored, go for a bold color to make an eye-catching contrast.

Invest in pre-holiday home transformations

Painting is among the fun home remodeling projects. A fresh coat of paint or a new color could significantly elevate the room. If you don't have time for a painting project before the holidays, hiring professional interior painters is always a good idea.
