When most people think about paint selections for their home, they tend to focus on the walls. And yes, this is going to be the primary area for your paint selections. But walls aren’t the only place where paint selections can make a difference. Here are a few other places where you might want to consider your paint options.
Ceilings
When it comes to setting the mood of a room and directing one’s eye, painting the ceiling can be a great option. The paint color you choose for the ceiling can even help the ceilings feel higher, or create a stunning statement for a room. While a smooth painted ceiling may not cut down on echoes like a textured ceiling would, strategic placement of furniture and other items can help minimize noise when you have a painted ceiling.
Doors and Trim
Painting doors and trim a unique color is another popular upgrade that really enhances the look of a room. This is especially true when the doors and trim are paired with painted crown moulding. These painted features can help tie the room together and give it a higher-class appearance.
Paint is Sensitive
One concern people sometimes have when painting doors, trim, and other features is that paint tends to be more sensitive than stained wood. While it’s true that painted wood is more vulnerable to scratches or chipping than sealed or stained wood (especially if you have little kids), proper care can keep it looking great for many years. For many, the tradeoff is worth it, as painted features give them total control over their home’s aesthetic.
