Should you paint before or after you move in?

Are you moving or considering moving? Many people want to get settled in before considering any home improvement project, while others want everything done before the first of the furniture touches the floor. In this article we will cover a few benefits to painting before moving in.

Saving Time

Painting can take a lot longer when you have to cover and uncover items, move items back and forth and rehang pictures and decorations. Why waste the time repeating the same tasks that you had to do when you first moved in, if you don’t have to?  When you paint before moving everything in you don’t have to work around anything or worry about spills and splatter getting on your furnishings. Plus there’s no need to do the same heavy lifting and rearranging twice.

Simplifies decorating

It can be hard to find exactly what will go where and which room is best suited to a particular item. Sometimes the best way to see the overall picture is to start with the basics and work your way up. Choosing a color can help you decide the feel for the room, which makes it easier to decide what adornments fit perfectly or stand out noticeably. It also can give the room a very put together and thought out feel instead of a thrown together work in progress feel. Moreover it takes time to unpack and that time will only take longer when deciding what goes where without having a clear-cut idea.

Make it your home

When moving into a new home it can take a bit for it to feel like “yours” painting the walls in one easy way to get that feeling faster. A new coat of paint can make it feel fresher, newer, welcoming, and ready to house your family.  The type of paint and color that you choose can go a long way in making the house truly feel like your home and keeping it looking freshly painted for years to come.
