Knowing when it’s time to add a new coat of indoor paint to your home requires taking a number of different factors into account. At Fairbanks Paint & Glass, offering indoor and outdoor paint and window repair services to clients in Alaska’s Fairbanks North Star Borough region, they’re well-versed in what goes into this task.

To determine if your space needs a splash of paint, they’ve compiled some factors to consider:

• Paint Quality: If you used a poor-quality product the last time you painted your home, it’s more likely to fade quickly. Have your local painter use premium quality paint for lasting results.
• Which Room: Some rooms require more frequent painting than others. For example, a kitchen or bathroom sees a lot of activity that can damage a paint job, and ought to be tended to every three to four years. On the other hand, a living room may not go through as much wear and tear, and can generally be repainted every five to seven years.
• Design Trends: Interior design trends can change as suddenly as fashion trends. An indoor paint job that may have been in style five years ago could appear dated now. If this is the case, it may be time to repaint your home. This is especially important to consider if you’re planning on selling your home in the future.
• Children: Households with children generally need to be repainted more often than homes without kids. All their activity—playing, drawing, and more—can expose your walls to a lot of potential damage. If you have children, you may need to paint more often.
