It is a big undertaking to paint your house. Furniture will need to be moved and covered, floor protected, and the walls prepped among other preparations. Your productivity can be maximized by strategically planning the order to work when you are painting the whole house. You will need to be prepared for the paint fumes and smells to contend with, causing you to likely be without important rooms and spaces for a period of time. With as much normalcy as possible by following these tips, you want to make it as easy as possible to keep living your life. Today, we at Jeff the Painter would like to help you plan prioritize the rooms for painting.
Reasons for Interior Painting
Know what your end goal from remodeling or preparing the home for the market or give the home a face lift. You may be wondering which rooms to prioritize, before you dive into painting. Paint the rooms that make the biggest impact first if you’re putting your home on the market, such as your living room, entryway, the master bedroom, the kitchen, and bathrooms for example. You’ll want to consider the impact the paint projects will have on your day-to-day living if you’re gradually updating your home. Because these are likely out of the way, you can start with guest bathrooms and guest bedrooms.
Bedroom Painting
Since you will quickly be able to settle back into living your normal life, painting your master bedroom and bathroom first is also a great place to start. You’ll have a place to sleep and bathroom facilities to use, once you complete the rooms, this keeps you from feeling like you are camping in your living room. You’ll be motivated to move onward in the rest of the house, and you will love the way you feel when you go to bed and wake up in your beautiful room.
Painting Kitchen
The kitchen is also a great place to start if you’re painting the whole house at once because if the kitchen is inoperable, the rest of your life is put on hold. You will end up spending quite a bit of money on take-out food and you won’t be able to eat healthy meals. You can quickly put that room back into the rotation of your day-to-day living, when you begin with the kitchen. A beautiful, fresh kitchen can inspire you to finish the home, just like a fresh bedroom can motivate you to keep moving through the house.
Living Room Paint
Be prepared since the living room will probably take you a long time. Like the kitchen, you have to move furniture into other rooms of the house as since it is usually a large room. It is a good idea, by tackling it at the end of your house painting project.
Laundry Room Painting
To leave for last is the laundry room. Though it isn’t a high-priority room, it is normally smaller and can be done quickly, it’s okay to leave it to the end. To keep your cloths from absorbing the smells of paint, store your clothing outside the laundry room on the day of painting.
