If you are preparing to move into a new home or business you probably have a long list of things that you need to get completed before, during and after your move in date. One question that often comes as an afterthought is should you paint your walls before or after you move in? After all a fresh coat of paint can work wonders for your interior. According to the knowledgeable experts at L.W. Winslow Painting, Inc. there is no set answer and generally speaking you should do whatever works best with your unique set of circumstances. In fact there are many benefits in choosing to paint either before or after your move in including:
Is it Better to Paint Before You Move In?
There are a number of benefits to painting your new home before you begin the move in process. After all with so many other projects to be completed, it makes sense to consult with a painting professional and get everything done while it’s fresh on your mind. Painting before you move in will literally ensure that you are working with a clean fresh palette, your closets for example will be ready for you to unpack clothes and shoes etc. plus you will have the added bonus of eliminating the potential odors associated with certain types of paint. Moving into a home or a business for that matter that is freshly painted will also allow you to unpack in a leisurely manner and concentrate on the projects at the top of your list. If you are one of those individuals who freely admit to getting comfortable in their surroundings, painting before you move in is the perfect solution to finding yourself dragging your feet once you get settled in.
Should You Wait to Paint a New House Until After You Move In?
On the other hand, and depending on your circumstances and your personality type for that matter, waiting to paint until after you move in to your new home or business may be the best solution for you. If you are indecisive about paint colors, you may find that painting after your furniture and accessories are in place will help you better select your ideal color palettes. With so many tints, shades and textures available, even with professional assistance, you may select a shade and then regret it afterwards. According to design experts, you should concentrate on the colors that best complement your furnishings while also keeping in mind that once you move in you may add or subtract decorative items making the overall appearance very different to what you first anticipated. This could leave you with a result that may not be the look that you originally envisioned.
