Purchasing a beach home is the dream of many. Having a place where they can get away and relax for a weekend or spend their Summers. Now that you've purchased a new beach house, you will likely be selecting paint colors for the interior. Now it's impossible to show you everything in this one article, but we can provide you with a couple of tips that will help in selecting a high quality interior paint for your beach house.
If you are like me, you hate painting. So the last thing I want to do is have to do it over. If the sellers can tell you what they used when they last painted the interior of the beach home, you can take that information to your paint store. By providing them exactly what color and brand you need, they can assist you in matching the color. If you can't get that information, try taking some paint samples home to view them against your beach house walls. If you are changing colors, you will probably want to prime the walls first or choose a paint that has the primer mixed in.
Take your time and evaluate all the choices you have in interior paint available at the store. You'll quickly see that there are varying degrees of quality and coverage based on what you are willing to pay. You may get "sticker shock" at the prices of high quality paint, but you may find that these paints will provide more coverage in less time for the the same amount of money as lower quality paints. If one coat of high quality paint will paint the interior of your beach house, is the time and work you save worth more money? Try to purchase the highest quality paint that you can afford.
You don't have to know everything about painting the interior of your beach home. There are people that do this for a living. Painting contractors and home decorators may be able to provide you with some advice on how to do the job right. Stores like Lowe's and Home Depot hold free paint clinics several times a month and all you have to do is attend. Don't be afraid to ask questions. This will save you time and will allow you to do a professional job yourself.
Final Thoughts
Many people paint their own beach homes. Many owners will work on it on the weekends during the Fall or Spring time. Don't try to tackle the job during the middle of the Summer when you should be enjoying the warm weather.
