Want to increase your home’s appeal during the colorful seasons of spring and summer? Here are some simple tricks that will maximize your property’s beauty and with minimal effort.
Warmer days mean more sunlight in your rooms, more time spent in the yard, and more people driving past your house, so why not make the most of this lively time of year with a few freshly painted highlights? If you are looking for some clever ways to bring the warmth of the seasons indoors and compliment the season’s colors outdoors, then these painting tips are perfect for you!
The Beauty Is In The Details
A full paint job is always stunning, but small changes can also make a big impact. Walls around your house, inside and out, to get an idea of areas that could really pop with the help of a little paint. Depending on your home this may include your shutters, Victorian molding, window frames, railings, stairs, cabinets, and other notable accent areas. If the paint on any of these detailed areas is chipping, then a quick clean, prep, and paint patch of these areas can have a huge impact.
Crisping up loose paint lines also helps add a freshly rejuvenated look to every aspect of a home. This is best managed when a paint job is first being completed, but it can be managed afterward with a careful eye and very well-matched paint.
If you really want your home to pop you can even consider a painting project that is interchangeable with the seasons. A bright summery accent to the shutters or front door can be a stunning focal point when it is properly matched with the rest of the house’s characteristics, and this is a rather quick painting project which makes it perfect if you decide to change back to a different color in the colder months.
Pick Colors That Compliment Nature
Summer and spring are seasons known for their colorful skies and flora. When you paint your home, take some inspiration from nature. You may want to match a highlight color around and within your home to the flowers that bloom on your property, or vice versa.
Choosing these natural color pallets simultaneously highlights the beauty of your home and yard for increased curb appeal.
Highlight The Sunlight
When picking a paint color and finish, don’t forget to test its appearance in the warm sunlight of spring and summer. Sunlight tends to make colors and finishes appear much differently than artificial light.
To make the most of the summer sun, choose colors that glow in its presence and if you know an area is going to get strong and direct sunlight, then you may want to avoid paints with a high shine finish. This will prevent extreme glares that can wash out and take away from a paint color’s true appearance.
Get Your Deck Ready To Shine
If your home has a front porch or a deck, then this is the perfect time of year to get it redone. Professional preparation in combination with a natural stain or a solid coat of paint ensures beauty and functionality, so you can spend more time enjoying the seasons from the comfort of your porch.
