It is always fun to decorate your home for the holidays or to have nice wall art hanging year-round. But if done incorrectly, it can really damage the paint on the walls. We have some tips to help you still be able to decorate without harming your painted walls.

High-Quality Paint

Of course, it starts with using high-quality paint on your walls. Never use cheap paint just to save a buck. The quality of paint is not where you want to make sacrifices.

Talk with our painting experts to learn about which paint we recommend. We also recommend prepping the walls properly, then using a high-quality primer, follow by using high-quality paint. Using high-quality paint will look better, last longer, and handle better when it comes to scratches, scruffs, and damage.

Limit the Use of Nails

There are many options out there when it comes to hanging decorations. The ideal way to ensure your decoration stays in place is to use a nail, but this can be damaging to your painted walls.

If you absolutely have to use a nail for heavy decorations, we recommended using the smallest nail possible. Also, only use nails for items that are permanent or in an area where you know you will always be needing decor.

Tips for Temporary Decorations

Avoid using nails for temporary decorations. When hanging holiday decorations like cobwebs and monsters for Halloween or garland and mistletoe for Christmas, use items that will not harm your walls.

Special adhesives and hooks will easily blend in and are great for light pieces.

Putty can also work well for decorations like cobwebs and garland. It is easy to remove and blends in so no one can see it.

Magnetic Paint

If you are really looking to get creative, check out magnetic paint. This is great to use when you are trying to figure out where you want to place your decorations. There are also magnetic primers available. Then, all you have to do is apply magnetics to the back of your décor, genius!

You never want to just wing a painting project. Things need to be thought out and planned before you actually dive into a painting renovation. From knowing if you are going to hire a professional, to having the colors ready, be prepared!

Know What You Want

Of course, the first thing to decide is what you are going to do with your painting renovation! Are you just repainting one room or one accent wall? You could probably tackle the project yourself. But if you are going to do multiple rooms including complex rooms such as bathrooms and the kitchen or the exterior of your home, you should hire the professionals at East Valley Painters to get the job done for you. We have the skills, experience, and the right tools to turn your painting vision into reality.

You will want to really plan out which rooms you are looking to repaint along with the colors you want to use. The type of paint to use will also play a role. If you are painting the exterior of your home, look for paint that is suitable for outdoor conditions. If you are going to paint your bathroom, look for paint that is good with getting wet from time to time.

Then, Plan Accordingly

Once you figure out which walls you are going to paint, you need to figure out WHEN to paint them. Renovating your home’s paint may take a few days. So, if you are planning on having lots of company or a party at your home, either delay the project or hold the event after it is complete.

Luckily in Arizona, we usually see nice weather year-round. Even though it gets warm, you can still plan around the heat by getting the job done early in the morning or when the sun goes down. When there is an occasional dust or rainstorm, you should probably put projects on hold for the time being.

One of the most important things to remember is to never do certain rooms at the same time, which will cause your home to be even more hectic during your painting renovation. For example, don’t do all of the bedrooms at once. You can do an office and guest room at once, but be sure you have a place to sleep!

 Also, doing the kitchen and bathrooms at the same time might seem like a smart idea, but it isn’t. You will still need access to water and if the renovation takes over a day, you will need to use one or the other.

Prepping the Painting Area

Before you start the painting job, whether you are doing it yourself or not, you will need to remove all furniture in the room, electronics, window treatments, and wall hooks. You want the walls completely bare, even if a professional is coming to do the job.

The floor will need to be covered to protect it from paint and the doors and ceiling will need to be taped off as well. When you make things ready for your painting project, it will become an easier task to accomplish.

During the painting process, keep kids and pets away. Also, have a clear entrance and exit. While painting, open up the doors and windows in other rooms to keep the air circulating.

Exterior Painting Renovations

When it comes to renovating the paint on the exterior of your home, you will want to make sure it is clean. Either you can wash it yourself or find a local company that can do the trick. Professional painters will get this job done for you if you decide to use a professional. They will then correctly do the job and even all the clean-up!
