Paint really transforms any space! when you have been living in your home for some time you really to get used to your surroundings and often you don’t even notice your space anymore. When we meet home staging and interior decorating clients – we always bring up, paint! Why? Well paint can totally and completely transform the look of any room.
Paint can do so much for a space – make it appear – brighter, bigger, cleaner and fresher! Undertaking the job yourself can be a bit daunting so don’t hesitate to contact a professional painter…it will certainly save you time and you will love the results.
Let us tell you about a recent paint transformation…
Our client moved to a new city and a new part of the country – her husband had a new job and her kids were starting at new schools. they didn’t know anyone and they had a lot on their plate. They moved from a new build open concept, classic contemporary home into a much older, more traditional and slightly dated home.
She did her best (and a good job) setting up their space but she knew the house needed something. That’s when we entered her life!
Our first suggestion was paint! Why? To get the fresh and more modern look she craved, the gold yellow sunflower walls weren’t working.
We worked with the furniture pieces and her art pieces along with the natural light to find the best paint colours for her.

So what did we do?
There are only a few changes in this room but what a difference! Paint was the big change…We selected an accent wall for the fireplace – Sherwin Williams ‘ Acier’ and the rest of the house (you can see the dining room to the left) in Sherwin-Williams ‘Mindful Gray’
We also swapped out the old and more traditional looking lamp shades for some simple white drum shades. You may not have noticed this subtle change but take another look – the shades are brighter and so much fresher.
We also played around with the art placement and looked through the pieces that she had still packed.
We also sourced out some new and more current wall sconces, again ones with those fresh and bright white shades!
We would say this room has come a long way! We are still working on some accessories but already this room (and this house) looks so much fresher and cleaner.
A little paint can go a long way…
