Which Room of a Home should be painted first?

For non-professionals painting several interior rooms of a home can be overwhelming. The amount of time spent on painting an entire home often varies from one house to the next. In any event, you’ll need to devote a considerable amount of time for cleaning, prepping, and painting if you decide to tackle the job yourself which is just one of many reasons to hire the professional painters at Right Track Painting & Sealcoating. That being said, it’s important to know which room of your home you want painted first.

 

Which room you want painted first is a mostly matter of preference. However, here are a few areas to consider if you want several rooms painted:

 

Bedrooms – whether it’s for personal preference or because it really needs it, the master bedroom is one area that typically gets the attention first. Painting all bedrooms first ensures that everyone in your family has a peaceful place to escape to while the rest of the home is getting worked on. Since they are relatively small compared to the master bedroom, your children’s rooms can be painted quickly and ensure they have a safe play area midst all he goings-on.

 

Kitchen – for many families, the kitchen serves as the heart of their home. It’s also a room that gets used excessively and typically needs a new coat of paint before any of the other rooms in the home. If your kitchen has an open floor plan, it doesn’t have to be painted in one continuous color, especially if it opens to the dining area. You can use two different colors to differentiate where the kitchen ends and the dining area begins. There is a variety of tools online that are designed to assist homeowners in visualizing how different paint color combinations would look with an open floor plan.

 

Living rooms – another good place to start when painting a home’s interior is the great room or living room. Many homeowners will use the color of the living room to set the color scheme of the entire home. This is commonly referred to as a whole house color scheme and is a selection of paint colors that provide a more cohesive look throughout your home. You may want to follow tips from an interior designer to make choosing these colors a little easier.
