Small Interior Painting Projects to Refresh Your Home
Painting is a great way to change the energy in your home and give it an updated appearance. While repainting your entire home may not be feasible for everyone, there are some small interior painting projects that can give your Vancouver home a fresh new look without breaking the bank.
Cabinets
Cabinets that are starting to show their age can give your kitchen or bathrooms a dated look. A quick way to bring them back to life is a new paint job! Bright white is a beautiful colour option for cabinets and can make your space look larger and more open.
If you are planning on painting your cabinets, consider using a professional Vancouver painter, as using a sprayer on cabinets will give them a perfect factory finish.
Doors
Doors are great candidates for repainting, as they go through frequent wear and tear. Whether it is scuffs, smudges, or stains, a fresh coat of paint on your doors can make your space look brand new!
Many interior doors are painted white to match trim, but choosing a colour instead can inject contrast and life into your space. Light blues and charcoal greys have become popular colours for interior doors for those who are looking to change things up. When choosing a colour for your door, consider the current colour palettes in your home. Look to furniture, rugs, and curtains for ideas.
Bathrooms
Although bathrooms are often an afterthought when it comes to interior painting, they actually require more frequent attention than most other rooms in your house due to the excessive moisture and harsh cleaning products they are often subjected to. Because these rooms are typically much smaller than other rooms in your home, they make for great small painting projects.
When choosing a product for your bathroom, consider paints that were specifically created for bathrooms or high gloss options. These paints will repel water better than others, and are easier to wipe clean.
Paint a feature wall
If you are looking to drastically change the look of a room without repainting the whole thing, consider painting a feature wall. When choosing a feature wall for interior painting, try to determine which wall your eye naturally falls to.

Trim
When was the last time you painted your baseboards, window sills, door trims, and crown moulding? If it has been a while, chances are these areas have become dusty and scuffed. Repainting your trim can give your home a bright, clean look and is often a quick and easy way to refresh your space.
No matter the size of the project, hiring a professional interior painter is always a good idea. Professional painters have the right tools and techniques for each job to ensure that the prep and painting are done right, saving you time and money down the road.
