Winter Home Improvement: The Case for Interior Painting in New Zealand

Winter is a great time for indoor home improvement in New Zealand, as you can refresh and prepare your space for fun gatherings in the warmer months. Interior painting gives New Zealand homes a fresh new look, and you may be surprised at just how much a coat of paint can transform your interior design. Specific colours can influence the mood of the room or make your home feel more spacious and inviting.

Why You Should Consider Having Your Interior Walls Repainted

If you’re not quite sure what to do, then you’re most likely wondering, “Why should I repaint my walls?” What benefits can you expect from a fresh coat of paint? Here are just a handful of reasons why Northland homeowners choose to refresh their homes with interior painting services. 

Revitalise And Update Your Home’s Appearance. Is your home’s appearance looking a bit outdated? Fresh new paint can introduce a contemporary, sophisticated vibe to your NZ household. A contemporary colour palette can make your space more fresh and modern, suiting current interior design preferences. With an endless selection of colours to choose from, you can pick a hue that fits your preferences and your home’s interior design layout. 

If you’re unsure of what colours to pick, then neutral colours are always a good option because these shades go with basically any interior design colour palette. Neutral colours include blacks, whites, greys and beiges. 

Enhance Your Home’s Value. Interior painting can boost the value of a New Zealand home, updating it for the current market. Beautiful, freshly painted walls can make your property more attractive to potential buyers. Neutral colours, in particular, are a good choice if you plan on selling your home because they give buyers the freedom to use any colour in their interior design scheme once they purchase it. 

Protecting Your Walls. Well-applied paint isn’t just about aesthetics – it can also provide your walls with an extra layer of defence. Paint acts as a durable barrier against moisture, preventing moisture penetration and stopping potential problems like mould, mildew and rotting. Because New Zealand is generally very humid, taking measures to prevent moisture damage is an important part of being a responsible homeowner. 

Enhance Your Home’s Mood And Atmosphere. Did you know that the colours in your home can have a psychological impact on your mood? Different colours are associated with different emotions, and the right colours can help keep you calm, energised, positive and so on. Repainting your home allows you to curate the atmosphere you want for your life. You could even choose different colours for different rooms, depending on what you want for each space. 

Here are a few ways people commonly interpret colours:

  • Blue is known for being calm and relaxing, making it ideal for bedrooms and bathrooms.
  • Yellow is bright and happy, instilling positivity and energy. So, yellow is popular for kitchens.
  • White makes spaces feel more spacious and open, and it can help even compact rooms feel larger. As for mood, white is considered neutral. 
  • Orange is bright like yellow, but it’s associated more with enthusiastic energy than happiness. So, orange could be a wonderful choice for home gyms.

  • Quality Results. Experienced painters can achieve a flawless finish that meets your vision, avoiding common DIY mistakes.
