If you’re looking to have interior painting work completed, you aren’t alone. According to Statista, in 2022, interior painting was one of the top home renovation projects. This is because a fresh coat of paint can quickly and inexpensively transform your space. If you’re having one or more parts of your home painted by a professional, you may be on the fence about also having them paint your master bedroom.
Many homeowners want their home to look its best, but forego the master bedroom since guests and family won’t spend much time in that space. But you sleep there every night, and as such, you should splurge and indulge in new paint. Here are some of the key reasons why you should ask your paint to include your master bedroom in your upcoming paint project.
1. The Right Paint Color Can Help Relax and Calm You
Your master bedroom should be a relaxing space where you can unwind at the end of a hard day. You may not realize it, but the colors in your mood can actually affect your mood. If you’re having trouble sleeping or relaxing, you may want to consider having a new paint color painted on your walls. Light blues can help to relax and soothe you, while soft greens can have a calming effect. Ultimately, this may help you to unwind, relax, and sleep better at night.
2. Painting Your Master Bedroom Can Improve the Value of Your Home
Not every home that you live in is your forever home. If you plan on putting your home up for sale in the near future, you may want to invest in painting your master bedroom because a fresh coat of paint can improve the value of your home. If you plan on selling your home in the near future, consider painting your master bedroom a neutral color. You want to avoid bright or bold colors, as they can be too specific to your tastes. Instead, select a color that appeals to a wide range of people to help maximize the return on investment for a painting project.
3. Paint Doesn’t Last Forever and Needs to Be Reapplied
You may not realize this, but paint doesn’t last forever. Generally speaking, the interior painting needs to be completed every five years. This is because most paint lasts about this long. If your paint has been on your walls longer than this, it can start to lose some of its color saturation, can start to fade, or can start to peel, chip, or flake. If you notice that the color on your walls isn’t as vibrant as it once was, or if you notice that your paint looks damaged, it’s time to have the walls repainted.
4. You Can Alter the Entire Look Of Your Room
A fresh coat of paint can go a long way into altering the look and feel of your master bedroom. You can to bed every single night in your master bedroom. You get ready for the day in the space. Looking at the same color palette on the wall can get boring, and you may find yourself longing for something new. Imagine what a difference a new color on your walls can make. Your space will look completely different if you switch from cream to charcoal gray, or from navy to blush pink.
5. Paint Can Trick the Eye Into Making a Space Look Larger or Smaller
One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make when it comes to interior painting is selecting the wrong paint color for their space. You may not realize it, but the color you paint on the wall can affect the way your eyes perceive your room. Dark colors can make a small space look smaller than it is or darker than it is. Light colors can make small rooms look larger or dark rooms look brighter. Vertical stripes can elongate a room with a short ceiling, while horizontal stripes can widen a narrow room. Paint can be used to trick the eye into missing potential downfalls or pitfalls with your master bedroom.
6. Modern Paint Colors Can Update Dated Rooms
Many homeowners don’t realize that paint colors follow trends. In fact, a company called Pantone releases colors of the year, showing some of these trends. If you painted your room a trendy color a few years back, the color may now be dated your room if it’s no longer popular or trendy. Repainting your wall a new, trendy color can help you to take a dated room and make it more modern.
7. You Can Change the Paint to Match New Bedroom Furniture or Accessories
Your furniture, bedding, and window coverings need to be replaced over time. When you replace one or more of these items, you may be going with a completely new theme for your space. When this happens, your existing paint color may no longer match or work for the new design you have in mind. If you’re having interior painting completed in your home, you should add your master bedroom to the project to prep the space and ensure the color of your walls will match the new elements you have purchased for your master bedroom.
8. Interior Painting Helps Your Space Look Clean
Let’s be honest here. Most people do not go around their homes washing their walls. Unfortunately, though, your walls are subjected to dirt, dust, dander, oils in your hands, and other elements. They get dirty. Wiping your walls down once a month helps to minimize this dirt and accumulation from happening, but if you’re not cleaning your walls regularly, they will look dirty and grimy. A fresh coat of paint helps to transform the space, making your walls look vibrant, fresh, and clean again.
9. Paint Helps to Protect Your Walls
The final reason why you should ask your paint to include your master bedroom in the paint project is because paint actually helps to protect your walls. Many people don’t realize how easy it is to scratch, chip, or damage drywall. Paint adds a layer of protection over the top of your drywall, helping to protect your walls. Paint also helps to protect your walls from small amounts of water which can cause drywall to warp.
If you’re home is starting to look dirty, dingy, dated or you’re just tired of the same look and feel and are ready for something new, interior painting may be the ideal solution for you. You can instantly transform a space, update it, and make it look cleaner, all with a coat of fresh paint. While you can complete an interior painting project on your own, there are many reasons why you should hire a painter to complete the task for you instead.
