New Year Home Refresh: Painting Guide for Des Moines

The new year brings a natural desire for fresh starts and new beginnings — and there's no faster way to transform your home than with fresh paint. TrueEdge Paint's new year home refresh guide helps Des Moines homeowners identify the highest-impact painting projects to start the year with a renewed sense of home. The most impactful interior painting project for the new year is the main living area — living room, dining room, and kitchen. These are the spaces where you spend the most time and where fresh paint has the greatest impact on daily mood and well-being. If you've been living with the same neutral walls for years, consider adding a bold accent wall or trying a new color direction that reflects the current trends. Bedrooms are another high-impact new year project — spending the first night of the new year in a freshly painted bedroom with a color that promotes rest and relaxation is a meaningful way to set intentions for the year ahead. For homeowners planning to sell in the spring, the new year is the ideal time to complete interior painting projects before the spring market heats up. Interior painting done in January and February gives paint time to fully cure and off-gas before listing photos are taken in March or April. TrueEdge Paint's scheduling for January and February is typically more flexible than the busy spring and summer seasons, making it an excellent time to book your new year painting projects at competitive prices.
