Home Decorating and Painting Tips For 2021

Many of us have been spending more time at home than ever over the past year, which means how our living spaces look and feel are more top-of-mind than ever before. If home improvement is on your to-do list for 2021, there are a number of things to consider to make sure that you get the most out of your makeover.

Read some tips below from our professional home painting company in Toronto.

Get Ready to Make Your Home Work for You

Embrace Colour 

Ask any interior designer and they will tell you that one of the quickest and most cost-effective ways to update things is to paint your home. Regardless of whether your space is big or small, colour is a great way to create a more cozy and still very contemporary feel. We saw big departures in 2021, with darker colours that add warmth and sophistication such as the Sherwin Williams colour of the year, Urbane Bronze. With many of us missing our favourite tropical destinations, Benjamin Moore transports us seaside with their soothing and serene colour of the year, Aegean Teal. It’s the perfect accent to create a more inviting space and evoke calm.

Look beyond your walls for an opportunity to add colour to your home. Painting or refinishing kitchen cabinets can be an excellent way to refresh your environment without a total reno, and hiring professional painters ensures that this will be done fast and efficiently.

Make WFH Work For You

It would seem that working from home is here to stay, at least for the foreseeable future. So it’s no surprise that the home office is a new focal point when it comes to interior design. Even if you are working with a small nook in your condo, creating a space that both inspires thought and is comfortable enough to get you through the workday is essential. This is your opportunity to personalize: don’t limit yourself to a standard office chair with a black spongey seat. Go for something equally plush but with more interesting lines. Reducing clutter will help your workflow, and the right lighting will add ambiance and reduce eye-strain. And don’t forget about paint. The right colour can help define the space and create a sanctuary-like feeling. Maybe saying goodbye to the sterile office cubicle isn’t so bad after all.

Timing Is Everything

When looking at options for your home in the Greater Toronto area, where we experience four very different seasons, it’s important to look at the best time of year for what you are wanting to achieve. Are you looking at exterior home painting? Or interior painting for your house, condo or apartment? There’s an optimal time for all of these things, and consulting with professional Toronto painting contractors like Encore Painting can provide you with a proper idea of when it’s best to paint, along with estimates and a timeline to ensure that your job is done right and right on time.

Find A Professional Home Painter You Can Trust

It has always been important to find professional home painters that are fully licensed, insured, are in good standing with the WSIB (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board) and have a great reputation and level of satisfaction with their customers. After the past year, there is even more to consider when it comes to the safety of you and your family. It’s essential that you choose Toronto home painters that understand and comply with COVID-19 health regulations. Encore Painting is not only the experts in making your home look its best, they also take extra precautions to ensure that proper safety measures are followed. We’ve and have also ensured that our services limit in-person contact, including free virtual estimates.
