Why is painting your home important?
We are often asked why painting your home is so important, so here is a list of the most commonly asked questions and our advice to you.
Does painting your home add value?
People often underestimate the difference a fresh coat of paint can make to the overall appearance of a house. Not only is it a quick way to modernise and refresh your home, but it also boosts curb appeal to prospective buyers if you are thinking of selling.
Putting your home on the market can be a daunting task, so ensuring you present the best version of your property is important. Painting your home can also increase value and add equity to your property. Even refreshing your gutters or putting a fresh coat of paint on your roof can make a significant improvement.
Does painting your home protect it?
Regular painting is an essential part of property maintenance and without upkeep, it can cause significant deterioration. Paint provides a protective coating to preserve the surface of your home. The exterior of your home withstands a lot of wear and tear as it is exposed to natural elements and weather conditions. Sun, wind, rain, and other climatic conditions slowly wear away at your building. A coat of paint will provide an extra layer to repel UV rays and rain and stop them from damaging the building’s materials.
Painting the interior of your home also protects against wear and tear. As time goes by, walls and other surfaces will be subject to marks, scratches and other damage. Painting can help hide imperfections and refresh the inside of your home.
Does painting your home improve the air quality?
This may sound like an unusual question, but the answer is yes. Painting can improve the air quality of your home by reducing pollutants including smoke, dirt, dust and other allergens. Repainting with low VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints is one way to improve the air quality of your home https://www.yourhome.gov.au/live-adapt/indoor-air-quality.
Most paint suppliers offer options for ‘green’ or ‘low VOC’ paint which reduce fumes and emit lower greenhouse gases.
Can painting your home improve your mood?
It sure can! Research shows that colours can affect our mood. Certain colours can boost your mood or even make you feel calm. Choosing the right colours for your home can make more of an impact than you might think. If you like the idea of a feature wall or a brightly coloured home, you may want to spend time deciding on which colours best represent your energy.
