If you’re generally happy with the color on the walls inside of your home, you might wonder how frequently you should worry about things like interior painting. However, paint can deteriorate just like any other home component, especially in areas with heavy foot traffic where people might touch the walls. Here is a little more information about how frequently to touch-up interior painting. 

Scheduling Interior Painting

When Should Rooms Be Repainted? 

Hallways, corridors, and entryways typically endure the most abuse from home occupants, which is why these areas need a new coat of paint every 3-4 years. Kid’s rooms are another space that see a fair amount of damage, which is why you should consider having these spaces professionally painted every 2-3 years. However, living rooms only need to be repainted every 5-7 years, and adult spaces, such as offices and bedrooms, may go as long as 8 years between professional touch-ups. 

How Can Fresh Paint Help? 

In addition to freshening up the look of a space, interior painting is important because it protects the surface of walls. Walls are more water resistant when freshly painted, and paint can also protect them from stains.

Additionally, frequent interior repainting allows you to customize your space quickly and inexpensively. Neutral shades can be switched out for brighter colors, and murals your children enjoyed when they were kids can be painted over with colors that match their current taste.
