5 Tricks To A Well Painted Guest Room in Denver Metro, CO

You may well be aware that a guest room is not going to be the forefront of your thoughts when it comes to updating the look of your home, seeing as it only sees use whenever you have a guest that’s present to take advantage of it.

As you want your guest to be well received, it helps if your room is painted well and doesn’t have that certain house of horrors look to it, in the sense that it should be nicely painted (though if you have the kind of friends who may enjoy a frightful guest room there are ways to accommodate them as well… perhaps a topic for a future article?)

Let’s now look at and consider five tricks to a well-painted guest room in Denver Metro, CO

1. Think About What Colors Will Look Nice

There are few people who know the kinds of people that are going to be spending time in your guest room better than you — they’re going to be your guests, after all.

If you have a variety of guests that are going to be coming to your home, you can of course choose colors that are going to be pleasant for everyone — you don’t want to choose colors that are going to be nice for some of your guests but rather unpleasant for others, after all.

There are a lot of colors that are more neutral as it were, but then again you may find that these colors can be quite bland and that brighter colors would be better for you.

2. Properly Clean The Walls Before Painting

In terms of getting the walls ready for a good paint job, there are a few things that are going to be as fundamentally important to make sure it gets done right as properly cleaning the walls.

In doing this you’re going to be eliminating all kinds of dust and grime that may well be on the surface of your walls but you’re also going to be doing yourself a favor in that you’ll be able to spot flaws in the surface that will need to be treated sooner than not.

These will include areas of the wall where the surface is a bit rougher than others as well as possible actual holes in the wall that need to be corrected.

3. Remove Furniture If Possible

When you find yourself painting in any room, it will be a good idea to remove as much of the furniture from the room as you can.

This will be not only because it can be a bit of an impediment (having the furniture there) but the more things you have in the room, the more you will have to go out of your way to ensure that paint doesn’t get on the things that are there.

Of course, it’s not always possible but you should do your best to remove the things in the room.

4. Darker Colors Go More Easily Over Lighter Colors

In terms of painting, if you find that you have a darker wall already, it will be a lot more difficult to switch to a lighter wall than it would be if you would have a lighter wall and would want to switch to a darker color.

This is not to say that it’s impossible, of course — you just have to bear in mind that you will likely have to take extra steps in getting the walls ready to be painted.

5. Choose The Right Gloss

Lastly, you should take some time to think about what the different glosses mean and how they pertain to the use of the guest room.

If you think you’re going to have to spend time cleaning the walls after, perhaps, a guest stays with children it would be worth using a glossier paint that is easier to clean.

Otherwise you can make use of a flat paint and enjoy the benefits of that paint over a glossier paint.
