Many people have a list of things they plan to do for the new year. Home improvement projects like applying a fresh coat of paint on house walls always make it to the list. Unfortunately, not a lot of these projects actually get done. In fact, from being a priority at the start of the year, these house beautification plans get repeatedly bumped down until there’s no longer time to do them. So, they end up again on the must-do list for the succeeding year and the cycle continues until putting it off is no longer an option.
If the same thing happens to you, don’t despair! It happens to everyone. Most importantly, there are changes you can make to ensure that the job gets finally done. For example, instead of scheduling the repainting of your house midyear, set it at the start of the year like in January.
House painting at the start of the year is not something you may consider primarily because of the weather. Since it’s cold outside, opening windows is not a good idea. Hence, without proper ventilation, interior painting is thought to be a no-no during this time of the year. The thing is, nowadays, there are manufacturers offering paints which are odour-free.
These paints contain minimal amounts of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) which are responsible for the strong smell in paint. Therefore, they are perfect for indoor painting, especially in areas where ventilation is poor or during cold months when windows cannot be opened. As they are low in VOCs, this type of paint is also less harmful for pregnant women as well as those with allergies or asthma. Some even have properties which help improve the quality of indoor air and prevent the growth of mildew and moulds. In terms of durability, odour-less paints are engineered to last long.
Aside from the weather, the start of the year can be busy for you as it is for everyone else. On top of packing away holiday decors and getting everyone in the house back to their regular routine, you’re probably making a lot of preparations at work. Basically, with the lack of time (and energy), painting your house is definitely the last thing on your mind on the first month of the year. What you need to know is that you don’t have to do the job yourself. You can hire professional residential painters to do it.
One of the most common reasons why many homeowners never get their house painting projects done is because they want the DIY route. While the idea of painting your house on your own can be exciting, doing it at the start of the year is impossible with the little time you have. So, be realistic! If you want the job done, let professionals paint your house. Aside from providing you with a quality paint job, professional residential painters can finish the job quickly. Hence, you don’t have to worry about downtime in your house.
Additionally, by scheduling the painting of your house at the start of the year, you don’t have to worry much about the availability of residential painters. Unlike spring and summer, winter is usually a down time for the painting business. Hence, booking a reputable professional painting company in Dublin at the beginning of the year shouldn’t be difficult for you.
Aside from the ease of hiring professional painters, repainting your house early in the year allows you to take advantage of the latest colour trends. Yearly, design experts release a list of top colours or colour combinations that are going to be the craze in the home interior design front. So, if you are looking for inspirations or suggestions, you can refer to these guides and use them to make your house trendy and stylish.
