Many people see the New Year as a fresh start for fitness or diet. If you’re interested in a makeover, it’s a good time to update your home as well. You don’t have to take on intensive projects to freshen up your home; easy fixes like interior painting work too. Here are some painting ideas that can work wonders on your home’s look.

How to Update the Look of Your Home With Paint for the New Year

1. Add Fresh Paint to Your Front Door

Your front door is what you and your guests first see before entering your home. Give it a light makeover by painting it a new shade—perhaps something brighter and more eye-catching for a pop of color. It’s an easy way to spruce up the exterior of your home without taking on a time-consuming project.

2. Update Your Cabinets

The cabinets are not only functional features in your kitchen and bathroom, but they also make up a large part of the room’s aesthetic. Update your cabinets by installing new drawer pulls and door handles in a different finish. Or spruce them up with fresh paint, either in the existing color or a new one.

3. Change Your Common Spaces

If you’re overwhelmed by the options for updating your home, start by deep-cleaning your common spaces and moving around your furniture. Cleaning your living room from top to bottom might inspire you to switch around your rug, coffee table, couches, chairs, or light fixtures. It can also help you see if your common spaces will benefit from new paint and which shade to choose.

4. Experiment With a Small Space

If you’re not ready to commit to a larger interior painting job, experiment with a small space in your home. A half-bath or guest room is the perfect place to test out what you want. You can see if the new paint is the perfect shade of dove gray that you want, or how that eggshell white will look in the bright morning sunlight.
