Spring is synonymous with renewal, and its colors reflect this beautifully.

Well-chosen colors will not feel like pastels, but chic, full spectrum and vibrant.

Throw out yesterday’s red and imagine your living room with the tranquility of of a blue accent or the vibrancy of pink or purple accent walls, all tied together by a floral upholstered chair that serves as a visual anchor.

Making a Statement with Spring Colors
In spaces like the kitchen, which often feature neutral palettes, the introduction of a single spring color like yellow can dramatically transform the atmosphere. Or a splash of aquamarine on bar stools with a wooden island counter top or a stand mixer introduces a fresh, almost tropical vibe. This concept can be applied across various rooms, utilizing spring colors to add personality and flair.

The Harmony of Neutrals and Brights
Spring decorating doesn’t mean shying away from white or neutrals. In fact, white walls can set the stage for bold furniture can, window treatments and art to shine. By starting with a subdued palette, you can afford to be bold in your accents, from brightly patterned bedding to colorful wall art. This balance ensures your space feels grounded yet alive with the spirit of spring.

DIY Spring Touches

Incorporating spring colors needn’t be a major commitment. Simple projects, like painting the inside of a bookcase, or changing your trim color. Even painting the ceiling of your bedroom, a bright sky blue can add a burst of brightness without overwhelming. This approach is especially suitable for renters or those on a budget, proving that a touch of spring can be both impactful and easy to achieve.

Nature’s Influence: The Lure of Green

Achieving harmony in your spring decor involves balancing light and dark colors. By pairing navy furniture with lighter fabrics and warm color accents, you can create a space that feels balanced, inviting, and vibrantly alive with spring energy.

The Subtle Touch
Introducing color doesn’t have to mean bold statements. A tone-on-tone wallpaper or subtle pattern can add depth and interest without overwhelming, proving that sometimes, less is indeed more.

A Nod to Rustic and Retro and the Power of Patterns

Even in spaces filled with antiques and rich textures, spring colors can find their home. By integrating faded rugs or pillows in pastel hues, you can create a cohesive look that bridges the gap between the old and the new.

Starting your color makeover with a beloved fabric pattern is a foolproof way to introduce spring into your decor. This approach allows for a cohesive color scheme that can be carried throughout the room, from walls to accessories, creating a harmonious and visually appealing space.

How Much Does It Cost To Repaint Your Home

by with No Comment Blog

The repainting of a home can do a number of positive things for both a home and its owner. A fresh coat of exterior and/or interior paint can brighten up a home whose atmosphere has become dour and dull over the years as paint fades and becomes stained. Redesigning a home after years or decades of occupation can make an older home feel fresh and new again. A fresh coat of paint also restores the vibrancy and color of a home and can dramatically increase its curb appeal. Homeowners looking to sell their homes will find the latter to be extremely valuable. Lastly, a fresh coat of paint can help a new homeowner make a previously owned home their own.

Although many homeowners desire and even consider new paint for their homes, a great number of them balk simply because they believe such a project to be far too expensive. In reality however, professional painting services for a home aren’t as expensive as some believe.

Interior House Painting Costs

Painting the interior of a home is a complex process and is often part of an interior design overhaul. Homeowners that opt for new interior paint will want to select a professional Oakland painting service that is not only reputable but is adept at working with multiple contractors throughout the duration of a redesign project.

As far as cost is concerned, a homeowner can expect to pay anywhere from $8 – $12 per square foot. Of course variables such as architecture and the current condition of a home may affect the cost of new interior paint but as a general rule homeowners won’t pay much more or less for this type of work. In order to determine exactly how much they will need to pay for new interior paint, a homeowner will need to speak and meet with a professional painter. During this meeting and conversation a painter will visit the home in question, make assessments and measurements, and then provide the homeowner with a quote.

Exterior House Painting Costs

Exterior house painting is a much more nuanced process and will address the needs of many different surfaces. There is also the issue of multi-storied homes which will ultimately cost homeowners more to have painted. Homeowners should expect to pay $8 – $12 per square foot for various types of wood siding. Moreover and generally speaking, homeowners should be prepared to pay $5 – $10 per square foot for painting on stucco walls. Of course the condition of the stucco walls prior to painting can raise the cost of the project as can the number of stories a painter must cover.
