The house owners have their Christmas and New Year celebrations at the door, and the houses are also getting ready to be decorated, and joy will be spread around. A very effective method to create a festive atmosphere in the house is to use the new paint. Having capability and experience as a residential painter in Arizona, Brinton Painting knows the whole process of colour selection and professional-grade application that will change the character of a room completely at this time of the year. December, with its cool weather and a vivid festive mood, is the perfect time to paint your interiors and create a cozy, warm atmosphere.
No matter if you are getting your house ready for visitors during the holidays or just want your walls to look brighter in this season, the following professional tips will let you start off on the right foot.
1. Choose the Right Festive Colour Palette
The choice of colours for the dress/style of the holiday season is set. Here are a few colours that are recommended by Brinton Painting for a sinfully hip, festive color selection:
| Colour | Effect |
| Snow White & Silver | Elegant, winter-inspired |
| Deep Red & Gold | Classic Christmas warmth |
| Evergreen & Beige | Nature-inspired festive style |
| Warm Cream & Soft Brown | Cozy and inviting |
| Muted Blue & White | Calm and winter-themed |
Avoid selecting excessively vivid colours unless they are used as highlights. Concentrate on the deep, luxurious shades or the soft neutral tones that are in harmony with the Christmas decor and are not too dominating.
2. Prioritise High-Visibility Areas
Common areas are usually the places where guests stay the longest. Hence, if you want to create the biggest effect, start with painting these places first:
- Living room (accent wall or entire neutral tone)
- Dining room
- Wall of the fireplace
- Fireplace wall
Just a simple painting of these places can make your house look bright and welcoming to the guests.
3. Take Advantage of Arizona’s Winter Climate
Winter in Arizona is characterized by mild weather which is ideal for indoor painting. The humidity, unlike in the colder areas, is kept within the limits, and the drying of the paint is uniform. The cool air also speeds up the dispersal of strong paint Odors.
When painting, make sure the area is well-ventilated. Don’t paint if the overnight low temperature dips at the paint’s minimum working temperature.
4. Prepare Walls Properly
Preparation is necessary in making sure the finish smooths out nice and lasts even after the holiday season. Brinton Painting applies a meticulous procedure:
- Clean up the surface to eliminate dust, residues, and oil
- Lightly sand the rough places on the walls to make them even
- Fix cracks, nail holes, and areas with chips
- Put on primer to help the paint stick better
The right way of preparing the surface not only lasts longer but also gives a high-quality look to the paint job.
5. Use Accent Walls for Festive Impact
Instead of repainting whole rooms, why not add Christmas spirit through an accent wall? Placement suggestions are as follows:
- In the corner behind the couch or the TV
- As the main wall in the dining room
- In the entrance hallway
- As the backdrop of the fireplace
Colours such as deep red, forest green, or soft gold are excellent choices for festive accents.
6. Use Fast-Dry Paints for Last-Minute Makeovers
Top-notch fast-dry paints are perfect if you are on a tight schedule. They are great for very fast and minor refurbishing and perfectly keep you in line with your timetable. Brinton Painting recommends low-VOC, eco-friendly paints to guarantee good indoor air quality for the holiday get-togethers.
7. Choose Eco-Friendly Paint Options
Eco-friendly and low-VOC paints are gaining popularity day by day. If overnight guests are around, then these paints will be safest for kids, pets and elderly family members. Besides, they decrease the adverse effects on the environment and at the same time provide a delicately polished surface.
8. Match Wall Paint to Your Holiday Décor Theme
Before finalizing your paint, determine the type of Christmas decoration style you will follow:
| Décor Style | Suggested Wall Colours |
| Classic Red & Gold | Beige, Warm Brown, Deep Red |
| Minimalist White | Soft Grey, White, Silver |
| Rustic Farmhouse | Cream, Wood Tones, Forest Green |
| Modern Luxury | Taupe, Champagne Gold, Midnight Blue |
Coordinating paint with décor creates a more cohesive and stylish interior.
9. Check Lighting Before Painting
Paint often looks different once applied and viewed under room lighting. As daylight decreases during winter, artificial lighting becomes more important. Test your selected paint shade in natural and evening light conditions before committing to it.
Warm lighting works well with festive shades and enhances cozy winter appeal.
10. Schedule Painting Services Early
Professional painters get booked quickly in December due to holiday preparations. If you want your home updated before guests arrive or before the New Year begins, it’s important to schedule early.
