Freshen Up Your Home With a New Paint Colors

One of the best and most affordable ways to update your home is to add a fresh coat of paint. Whether you tackle just one wall, or a room, or your entire house, switching up the paint in your home will go a long way. What color do you pick? Not just any color will complement your home so Honey-Do Services has pulled together some of our favorite neutral and bold colored rooms from across the internet. honey-do-services-llc.com

NEUTRAL
Eggshell and yellow are a thing of the past when it comes to neutrals this season. If you go neutral, think gray.

And the wonderful thing about gray is it has a variety of undertones so your home’s gray could be referencing a pale blue, green, or even purple.

BOLD
If you go bold, do it in a jewel tone. Rich colors, as opposed to neons, can calm a large room or add a point of interest to a more minimally designed space. This year blue, green, and black paint are ruling the bold spectrum.

Green
Talk about luxury. Royal and deep greens have the ability to invoke both warm and cooling properties.

Blue
It may be bold, but a good navy blue is still a fairly understated color. It’s the cousin to the neutral tones, so if you’re looking to go bold without making too much of a statement, blue is for you.

The In-Between
Turquoise, teal, and cyan to name a few. These are some of the most common colors found in nature. These blue-green in-betweens will add an earthy feel to your home.

Black
If you’re really looking to go bold, go black. Black paint done right will add a high contrast element to your home, making the brighter whites stand out like nothing before. This color of paint will also draw your eye to the smaller details of a room; just make sure you have a little extra natural light so that the room doesn’t end up becoming a cave. honey-do-services-llc.com

Worried your room will be overwhelmed with color? Wainscoting is the perfect way to offset a bold paint choice.

Wood Flooring

Wood flooring is far and away the more popular flooring option among homeowners these days. It is attractive, versatile, and with a bit of care, easy to maintain. For current (and future) wood floor homeowners out there, these are a few regular tasks to help you preserve their value.

1. It’s important to sweep wood floors regularly, as dust and other particles will cause surface scratching. You should make sure to place furniture slides under the legs of tables, chairs and other heavy objects. Also put mats in front of every entrance to catch dirt that gets tracked in from outdoors.

2. Don’t use any wax containing polyurethane on a wood floor, as it will make it impossible to re-surface the floor should you need to do so in the future. It is easy to buff out minor scratches on a polyurethane floor.

3. Remove minor scratches by using a scouring pad dipped in mineral turpentine, and buffing only in line with the wood grain. You can also check with your local hardware or home improvement stores for recommendations on scratch-removing sprays. Wood repair sticks are another option for filling deeper scratches. Remember, though, when using these, to be careful to match the color to that of your floors.

Wood Floors vs Carpet?

Like any flooring, some care must be taken to keep wood looking its best. Many people feel that the steps necessary to maintain wooden flooring outweigh any drawbacks. They are easier to clean than carpeting. Furthermore, carpeting tends to retain allergins, dust, hair and other debris that can more easily be removed from wooden surfaces. Finally, real estate agents will be quick to tell you that homes with wood floors sell more quickly than those with wall-to-wall carpeting.

If you are having  bigger repair issues with your wooden flooring than the problems mentioned above, or if you are contemplating installing wood floors in your home for the first time, call 407-458-6935 or go to honey-do-services-llc.com
