“When you want to transform a room into an entirely different animal, change the color.” — Billy Baldwin

Start the New Year with a Home Refresh

The New Year is the perfect excuse to breathe some new life into your home! Whether you’re sprucing up your style or boosting the functionality of your rooms, a few simple updates can make your space feel inspiring and refreshed.

Want to know where to start? We've gathered a few ideas, from easy painting projects to practical winter safety checks, to help you kick off the year on the right foot.

Brighten Up Your Space with Painting

Thinking about giving your walls a makeover? A fresh coat of paint is a game-changer for any room. It’s one of the fastest (and most affordable!) ways to create a big impact. Whether you’re dreaming of a bold accent wall, or a complete room refresh, these handy tips will ensure a flawless finish.

Prep for Perfection

Before the paintbrush meets the wall, a little prep goes a long way. Make sure to clean your walls to remove any dust or grime—you’ll want a smooth surface before painting begins. Next, patch any nail holes or dents and sand rough areas for a flawless look. Don’t forget to use painter’s tape along baseboards, trim, and ceilings for those crisp, professional-looking edges.

Pick the Perfect Finish

Choosing the right paint finish is just as important as picking the color. If you want to play it safe, a matte finish is great for hiding minor imperfections, making it perfect for ceilings and low-traffic spaces. However, if easy cleaning is a priority (think kitchens or kids’ playrooms), satin or eggshell finishes offer the mix of durability and style you need.

⛔ Pro Tip: Use a semi-gloss finish for trim or doors—it’s tough, shiny, and easy to wipe down!

Master Your Painting Technique

When it’s time to paint, investing in good-quality tools is key. Use a sturdy roller for big wall areas, and grab an angled brush for tackling edges, corners, and trim pieces with precision. Remember, paint in long, even strokes to avoid streaks and keep a wet edge to prevent lines.

Not sure what color to go for? Why not try something bold this year? Whether it’s deep green, vibrant teal, or a soft lavender, adding your favorite hue to your walls can do wonders for your mood.
