Tips for Painting your Boston Home


Have you found your perfect Boston Home? Chances are your new home doesn't have wall colors that you love or might need some fresh paint on the walls. If you're not sure where to start, then read on.

Start Small
Pick an accent wall or a small space such as a powder room and add a splash of color. For inspiration look at your belongings, what color speaks to you? Select a favorite color and go with it. Since it's a small space if you don't love it, its quick to change. Hopefully you will love it and can move on from there.

Mood
When selecting a color for a particular room think about mood. Do you want your bedroom to be soft and soothing or dramatic? Pick a cool neutral for a soothing place to rest or go for a stronger color for some drama in your space.

Consider the Lighting
Depending on the lighting in the room your paint color can change in hue. Consider the lighting in your Boston Home before committing to a new color. Many paint stores have light boxes so you can visualize the color in either natural daylight, incandescent light, or fluorescent lighting.

Keep Colors Coordinated
When you are in one room you usually can see a peek of another room. Make sure that rooms that are adjacent to each other flow nicely from color to color. Don't pick colors that clash or create too much of an eyesore when together.

If you feel challenged and can’t quite nail a color palette that works with your taste and preferences, enlist the help of a professional. As a Boston real estate agent, I can recommend some interior decorators in the area who can give you their professional opinions on how to make each room in your home sophisticated and livable. Along the same lines, an interior decorator comes in handy if you’re planning to sell your Boston home and want to make it as appealing as possible to potential buyers.
