Freshen Up Your Favorite Gathering Spaces This Holiday Season

We’re often asked, “Is it okay to paint interior walls in the winter?”

And our answer is always, yes! As long as the indoor temperature is comfortable and proper airflow is maintained, interior painting during the winter season is perfectly fine—and often more convenient with painters having more flexible schedules.

Here in the Pacific Northwest, we all know tht the darker winter months can make rooms feel gloomy. That’s especially true if your walls are feature darker tones or old, faded paint. 

Refreshing your walls with light, reflective paint colors like linen, cream, or subtle pastels can instantly lift the mood and make the most of limited natural light.

You might be wondering whether you should repaint your interior walls before the holidays or wait until the festivities are over. Although there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, we recommend doing it before so that you can make the most of them through the season. 

Between dings, scuffs, and nail holes, our walls take a beating over time, but that‘s just part of the wear and tear or life. If you want your space to feel polished in time for guests to visit or simply to make room for seasonal decorations, touching up a living room, hallway, or dining nook can make a huge visual difference. 

That's why we think the holidays are the perfect excuse to give your interior a reset. A freshly painted room gives your home a crisp, clean feel, and it can help you find and repair small imperfections that might otherwise go overlooked.

Your seasonal style deserves the right canvas. From rustic lodge themes with painted paneling to chic metallics against a bold accent wall, wall color can make or break your holiday aesthetic. Repainting trim, cabinets, or even brick fireplaces can dramatically update a room’s look without the need for any other major renovations.

Your seasonal aesthetic deserves a space that complements it, not one that competes with it. Whether you're going for a rustic lodge feel, a sleek metallic theme, or a more minimalist winter look, fresh paint can set the tone and create a clean canvas to let your décor shine. 

Painting your trim, fireplace, or even kitchen cabinets can elevate your holiday decor without needing to replace furniture or buy all new accessories. It’s a quick way to modernize or customize any space you plan to decorate.

Let’s be honest—we all want our homes to feel welcoming and impressive when guests walk through the door. 

Whether you’re repainting a guest bedroom, entryway, or the main family room, a new coat of paint signals care, cleanliness, and comfort. It’s the kind of subtle improvement that makes a space feel more inviting, even before the decorations go up.

A freshly painted room also ties your entire home together, making it feel coordinated and thoughtfully updated. From soft neutrals that complement your holiday décor to bold accents that make a statement, fresh paint helps every detail stand out. 

And these upgrades don’t go unnoticed in photos. If your living room will be everyone’s holiday selfie backdrop, make it shine with clean walls, crisp trim lines, and colors that flatter your seasonal style.
