Playroom Painting Mistakes To Avoid In Kennett Square, PA
In looking to get your playroom to look its best, you may want to think about the effect of painting and how it can transform a rather dull looking room into a fantastic looking playroom.
However, there are certain key mistakes that you may make — and therefore should know to avoid — in the painting of your playroom, which we will discuss today in some detail to help you to avoid them.
With that being the case, let’s have a look at some playroom painting mistakes to avoid when you want a nicely painted playroom.
1. Using The Wrong Kind Of Paint
Though you might think that there fundamentally isn’t a real wrong kind of paint, the thing you should know is that if you are making use of a paint that is difficult to clean and it’s a room like a playroom, it’s going to make the cleaning of the walls more difficult later on.
By making use of a glossy paint, you will find that you will end up with a room that has walls that are much easier to clean — in that you will be able to take a damp cloth and wipe stains off of the wall with relative ease.
Making use of flat paint, on the other hand, may look nice and wlll certainly take care of surface imperfections, but it will make the walls that much more difficult to clean — the paint will come off of the wall as well as the dirt that may have gotten there.
2. Not Cleaning Before Starting
You may look at the walls in your future playroom and think that it’s not a big deal if you don’t clean the surfaces because you’re just going to be putting paint and primer on them, so what does it matter if they are dirty?
In actuality, if you start off your painting project with dirty walls you are going to end up with a room that has walls that look like dirty walls with paint and primer on them and you are going to have to spend a lot of time scraping the paint off of the walls to start the project again.
The better thing for you to do is to start by carefully cleaning the dirt and grime off of the surfaces of the wall and then allowing time for these surfaces to fully dry so that you can then fully apply primer and paint to the very same surfaces without worrying about having painting problems from applying them to wet surfaces.
3. Not Considering What Color To Use
If you are going to be painting a room like a playroom, you should put some time and consideration into the selection of the color for the room and not just go for whatever happens to be on sale when you are looking to buy it.
It’s going to be a room in which children are going to be playing, and therefore it is really important that you choose a color or perhaps even colors (the walls can have more than one color to them) that are going to be of use in a sense to the people who will be spending time in the room.
By thinking about what color or colors are going to be good for children in the room, you are going to be doing your children a service and help them to appreciate the time that they spend in the playroom even more and make the time they spend there a happier and more enjoyable time.
It may even be a good idea to get a few paint samples and put them on the wall and get your future ‘customers’ to have a look at the possible colors so that they can help you in the selection.
