Can you even remember the last time that you painted the inside of your home? As with most home projects, like getting a new fence, rearranging furniture, or doing a little redecorating, painting your home will help it feel fresh, clean, and up-to-date. In some cases, a fresh coat of paint can even be a necessity. Read on to learn four signs it’s time to paint again.

1. Your Walls Look Dirty & Scuffed

In high-traffic areas of your home, like your kitchen, living room, and game room, you’ll likely notice that your walls begin looking grimy and scuffed-up over time. In some cases, you can clean them and give them an extra year of life, but if it’s been awhile since you last got a fresh coat of paint in your home, it’s probably just time to redo them. As soon as these marks start showing on your walls, it can make your home feel dirty, even if it’s not.

2. The Paint Looks Like It’s Fading or Peeling

Does your living room or bedroom have windows that let a lot of natural lighting shine on the walls? Ultraviolet light rays can damage and fade paint color over time, causing a once beautiful pigment to look dusty and old. In addition to sunlight exposure, a room that has moisture in the air, like a sunroom, may also experience peeling paint. This time around, choose a high-end paint that resists fading and peeling and throw up some curtains to preserve the beautiful new color that you choose!

3. You Deserve a Refreshing Change for Surviving 2020

Sometimes, something you want to do can feel frivolous but will still make you happy. If repainting your home is that investment for you, do it! You’ve made it this far into 2020, so if something as small as refreshing the color of your home so you can work remotely in peace makes you happy, it’s worthwhile. Changing the colors of your rooms is also a great opportunity to re-define spaces, like if your once guest bedroom is now your office, you can make it feel like one.

4. You’re Preparing to Put Your Home on the Market

Weirdly enough, the housing market is booming right now. If you’re currently thinking about or preparing to put your home on the market, it’s important to stage it so that anybody who visits can see themselves and their family living there. That’s why it’s a good idea to change the color of your walls to be more neutral.

No matter what your reason for repainting your home is, always trust a professional to help you achieve the results you’re hoping for!
