4 Fun Ideas for Fall Interior Painting Projects

October 31, 2022

Need a little inspiration? We’ve got you.

Fall is here, and it’s time to cozy up by the fire, break out the charcuterie board for a visit from friends, and get the holiday decorations out of the attic. Going indoors for the cooler weather is one of the best times to paint your interior walls or add a little architectural feature to liven up your living spaces. We can help with that!

Think bigger than neutral interior paint colors

It’s ok to choose a tried and true neutral color for your walls, but the new paint color choices from designers this fall are bright and bold. Have a little fun and choose dark green for a focal wall or black for a powder room. Go with a nautical navy blue for a bedroom. The possibilities are endless.

Elevate your style with custom carpentry

Our team is skilled in many areas and can help give your home texture and interest. We can add crown molding, wainscotting, and more. Then, we can help you choose the right paint color, perhaps contrasting or complimenting your wall color.

Refinish tired woodwork

Has someone been walking up and down the stairs in their cleats again? If so, we can help!  Refinishing and painting your stairs can make them look like new. Sometimes it takes just a small change to make a huge difference.

Cabinets need a new look? Let’s paint them!

If your kitchen cabinets are in good condition, and you still love the layout of your kitchen, perhaps all that is needed is a refreshing new paint color. Trends in kitchen cabinet colors are leaning toward darker, more dramatic colors like charcoal gray, deep green, or romantic teal.  You could also go to the other side and try a pale, sea-inspired blue. Make your kitchen a little more inviting for the holidays!

Fall in Rhode Island is more than pumpkin patches and football weekends (to be clear, it is definitely mostly about that). But it’s also prime time for painting. The air is dry, the temperatures are steady, and the sun isn’t scorching your siding. It’s basically nature’s invitation to tackle projects you’ve been putting off. From exterior touch-ups to an interior refresh before the holidays, fall gives homeowners that rare combination of good weather and motivation, and that’s worth taking advantage of. Ready to grab a brush (or at least a plan) and get a few things checked off before the frost sets in? Consider this article your first line item. Why Fall Is Ideal for Painting in Rhode Island Autumn weather in New England offers something that painters love: stability. It’s not too hot, not too humid, and rarely too cold. Paint adheres better, dries evenly, and doesn’t blister under direct sunlight like it can in midsummer. Cooler temps also mean painters, whether you or a professional crew, can work longer without racing the clock or baking under a high sun. Add in fewer bugs, drier air, and reduced pollen, and you’ve got the recipe for beautiful finishes inside and out.
