We love a bedroom refresh with paint. It’s a quick, and often easy, project that adds new life to your space. For a kids room, it’s the perfect way to make sure their room reflects their personality and allows them to feel at home.
And to help you achieve this refresh, here are the 3 things you need to know when transforming a bedroom with paint.
1: Never skip the prep.
Prep IS the most important step when it comes to painting. That’s because a well prepped surface can be the difference between achieving your dream home or being left with a DIY disaster.
Whether you’re painting fresh gyprock, repairing water damage or simply refreshing a space with paint, your surfaces need to be cleaned, sanded and primed before you even touch the paint. But it’s not one size fits all.
That’s why we’ve put together a guide with everything you need to know about prepping your walls before painting.
2: Paint like a pro.
Just because it’s DIY, that doesn’t mean it should look like it. With the right tools and expert advice from your local Inspirations Paint store, your next bedroom project will have you questioning whether you should abandon the 9 to 5 and pick up the tools. Well maybe not completely, but achieving a professional paint finish is easier than you think.
Cutting in before rolling, bleed sealing your tape and laying off are all painting techniques you should be using each time you tackle a paint project. Pair these with the correct brushes and rollers for the surface you’re painting and you’re well on the way to the professional finish we all want for our DIY projects.
3: Embrace colour.
White is great. And trust us, we know exactly how difficult it can be to find the perfect white. But white is also… boring. It lacks personality and our interiors suffer as a result. That’s why, in your bedroom, we want you to embrace colour.
Now, we’re not telling you to go out and colour drench every room in your house (although we’re not saying don’t so that either), but what we’re saying is that you shouldn’t be afraid to add some colour to your walls.
However, if you don’t know where to start, we’ve got you. Here’s our full guide to testing colour with sample pots.
When it comes to transforming a bedroom with paint, these 3 things will put you on the right path to project success. And remember, your local Inspirations Paint store is here to help you with any and all things paint. That means your dream bedroom is right around the corner.
