Painting your home is a significant task. Among other things, you must move furniture, cover furniture, safeguard your floors, and prepare the walls for painting. When painting the entire house, it's a good idea to plan out your work in a smart order. Keep in mind that major rooms and areas will be unavailable for a while, and you'll also have to deal with paint fumes and odors. Use these suggestions to make it simple to continue living your life as normally as feasible.
Why Do You Paint?
What do you hope to achieve? Are you making changes to your bathroom or kitchen? Putting it up for sale? Do you wish to live in a lovely home you adore and upgrade it? Prioritise your painting sequence by having a clear understanding of your goal before you begin.
For instance, paint the rooms that have the most impact first if you're listing your house for sale: Your living room, kitchen, baths, master bedroom, and entryway. You should think about how the paint jobs will affect your daily life if you're upgrading your house gradually. Since the guest bedrooms and baths are probably out of the way, you may start there.
The bedroom
Since you'll be able to return to your regular life soon, painting your master bedroom and bathroom first is also a wonderful location to start. You won't have to feel like you're camping in your living room after the rooms are finished because you'll have a place to sleep and restrooms to use. You'll be inspired to finish the rest of the house because you'll enjoy how you feel when you go to bed and wake up in your lovely room.
Kitchen
If you're planning to paint the entire house at once, starting with the kitchen is an excellent choice because if this space becomes unusable, it can halt your daily routine. You won't be able to prepare healthy meals, leading you to spend more on take-out. By starting with the kitchen, you'll quickly make that space functional again, allowing it to integrate back into your everyday life. Additionally, just as a refreshed bedroom can motivate you to continue with the rest of the house, a newly painted, inviting kitchen can inspire you to complete the entire home.
Lounge Area
You should anticipate that the lounge area may require a significant amount of time, so get ready for that. It’s usually a spacious area, and you will need to relocate furnishings to different parts of the home — such as the kitchen. Therefore, painting this space can lead to some disruption. It is advisable to address it towards the conclusion of your home painting project.
Laundry Room
The laundry room is often best tackled last. Typically smaller in size, it can be completed swiftly and is not considered a priority, making it acceptable to address it at the end. On the day of painting and for a few days afterward, keep your clothing outside the laundry room to prevent them from soaking up the paint odors.
