As spring arrives, many of us feel inspired to declutter, freshen up, and breathe new life into our homes. While a good spring clean clears out dust and disorder, adding a fresh coat of paint can take your efforts a step further—transforming tired spaces into something vibrant and inviting. At Flight Decorating, we believe spring cleaning and painting go hand in hand. Here’s how combining the two can make a real impact.
Why Spring is the Ideal Time to Paint
The mild temperatures of spring create perfect conditions for painting. Interior paint dries evenly without the challenges that come with winter damp or summer humidity. There’s also more daylight, helping you better judge colours and spot any imperfections that need attention.
Start with a Deep Clean
Before you pick up a paintbrush, give the room a thorough clean. Dust, grease, and marks build up on walls over time—especially in high-traffic areas like kitchens, hallways, and around light switches. Washing down the walls not only makes the room feel fresher but also ensures your paint adheres properly.
Identify Areas that Need a Refresh
As you clean, take note of scuffed skirting boards, chipped door frames, or faded feature walls. These high-touch areas are often overlooked until you’re up close. A quick paint touch-up can completely lift a space without the need for a full repaint.
Use Colour to Enhance the Fresh Start
Spring is a time of renewal, so it’s the perfect season to introduce light, uplifting colours. Soft greens, gentle yellows, and warm whites can make your home feel open, clean, and full of energy. Even one freshly painted wall can transform the mood of a room.
Small Jobs, Big Impact
You don’t have to repaint entire rooms to see a difference. Painting a hallway, refreshing internal doors, or updating kitchen cabinet fronts can have just as much impact as larger projects. Pair these jobs with your spring clean and enjoy a home that looks and feels brand new.
