There is a lot more work involved in interior painting than many people think. When not done properly, the paint will not last long, succumbing to issues like bubbling and flaking. It’s also a big project, especially if you are painting all the walls of your home and will eat up a lot of your time.

Plan your interior painting early, so you can make preparations to avoid disasters. Here are some of the frequently asked questions and their answers that will help you plan this project:

1. If you are re-doing your floors, should you paint your walls first?

If you are having multiple projects done at home and it involves doing some work to the floor such as completely replacing it or refinishing it, you might ask whether you should do this first before having painters in Maple Ridge paint your walls.

The answer is yes, you should have your flooring installed or refinished first. If you do the painting first, the paint can be damaged or scratched up when the floors are installed, so it is better to have it done first. Also, this will ensure the correct placement of your baseboards.

Don’t worry though because professional painters in Maple Ridge will protect your flooring while the walls are being painted.

2. How can I choose the best colors for my home’s interior?

It is purely subjective and it depends on the design you are going for. However, make sure it is something that you can commit to and something that is soothing to you.

For older homes that already have existing décor, consider accents such as furniture and fireplace when choosing a wall color. You don’t want to choose a modern color that will look odd against dark-colored furniture or a brick fireplace.

Take into consideration the size of the room as well. Light colors are typically better for smaller rooms because it makes the house feel bigger. They also make a smaller room appear brighter and airier. Darker colors are more ideal for bigger rooms.

Also, consider what the room is going to be used for. You don’t want to see colors that are too bold or too bright in an office, for instance.

3. What if my walls are cracking?

You need to fix cracking walls first. If the cracks are not too big, you can fill it up with putty and then sand it down once it has hardened. Clean the wall to make way for the primer and then apply the paint.
It is better to work with professional painters in Maple Ridge. You can run into a lot of issues with interior painting. Professionals from PureLuxe Painting will know what to do to make sure you get the most out of the money you invest in this.
