Painting Your Powder Room Right in St. Louis, MO

Your powder room is one that is going to be special for you, the person using it – or whomever the person or people using it might actually be.

However, it’s a good idea to make the time to be careful in your painting of the room as some of the smallest mistakes that you can make will be quite detrimental to the overall painting project.

Making the time to learn about doing the painting work correctly, on the other hand, will ensure that you will have a better painted powder room, and you will know that you might have a powder room that will be around and looking nice for years to come.

Let’s have a look at some tips for painting your powder room right in St. Louis, MO

1. Coordinating Colors

One thing that you are going to want to do when you’re looking to paint your powder room is to make sure that the colors will be well coordinated – you’re not going to want to just pick colors for the wall that have no sense of belonging as it were and then once you are done painting realize just how out of place they look.

First, before you paint the walls, make a good inventory of what is in the room and consider that everything has a color and a style, as it were – and when you are going to paint the walls the color or colors are going to look better with them if they have anything to do with what is already there.

A fairly simple thing that you will want to consider doing is to perhaps get samples of a couple of possible paint colors and instead of just going with paint swatches from the store, use those actual samples to paint little areas in your powder room and then you will have an actual idea of what the colors will look like at night, during the day, etc – and with the different kinds of lights you will have on.

2. Clean After You Sand

Though of course, you may already know that it’s a good idea to sand your walls, you may not realize that you are going to be creating a bit of a mess when you do this in the form of the dust that comes about from the sanding process.

Some people will ignore this sanding dust but ignoring it is a bit of a peril because if you do this you will almost surely end up seeing that same sanding dust mixed in with the primer and paint that you will be applying to the walls.

The best thing that you can do is to make sure that you have fully removed the sanding dust with a tack cloth and perhaps even a moist cloth to fully remove it, and then of course to allow time for your surfaces to dry before you continue with the painting project.

3. Use Primer Before You Apply Paint

Lastly, you should remember that you need to make use of a coat of primer before you apply your first of what could be a couple of coats of paint.

The reason that people make use of primer is that it will make for a better painted surface — it makes the surface being painted more smooth, and it also makes sure that the paint that you ultimately apply to the surface stays on longer.

Though it will cost you seemingly a bit more upfront, over a long period of time you will see a good return on the investment of the primer because you will have fewer paint problems and the painting project will look a lot nicer.
