Painting Your Home…Where to Start?

Painting your home is a big undertaking, and you may not be ready to do all the rooms at once. Prioritizing rooms to be painted is a great way to paint the home in stages to make the process less disruptive. The process of painting does require some shifting of furniture and belongings, which can be stressful and exhausting for customers.

Bedrooms and bathrooms are among the best places to start painting. These are some of the most used rooms in our homes, and when they are messy, the whole home can feel messy. Painting and reorganizing these rooms first can help your home feel functional even when the rest of the house is disrupted.

Kitchens are another area that you may want to start with. The kitchen can be a disruptive room to paint because of the odor. Cooking food in a room that smells of paint can be unappetizing. Painting this room quickly will allow you to get back into the space once the smell has dissipated. Plan ahead with your grocery shopping while your home is being painted so you don’t waste food while your kitchen is being painted.

The living spaces of your home, like the living and family rooms, are great to paint after the kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms. These are generally the biggest rooms in the house and take more time to paint. After these rooms are complete, the house will likely begin to feel organized and put together again.

Laundry rooms and mudrooms are generally on the lowest priority. Plan ahead with your laundry so you will have plenty of clean clothes during the painting process.

Ask your painter about breaking up the painting process to keep your home as functional as possible. Ask about low or no VOC paints and open windows to let the smell out. Painting your home can be a disruptive process, but the effort is worthwhile when you see your beautiful new paint.
