Preparing Your Home for an Interior Paint Project

If you’re thinking about painting a room (or several) in your home, there are a few things to consider before getting started! Before dipping your brush into the paint, you’ll want to spend some time preparing the space you’ll be painting. Removing every single item from the room is not necessary, however, you’ll want to carefully cover anything that will be staying in the room so that you don’t get any paint on them. Any furniture pieces that are staying put should be brought into the centre of the room so that you can easily get to the walls when painting. Once you have cleared the space, you’ll want to wash your walls with mild detergent and water before priming the walls. Most high-quality paints are made to bond with almost every surface, but for the best results, a clean wall is recommended!

Beyond our furniture offerings, we’re also a trusted Ottawa paint store! If you have any questions about interior painting, get in touch with our team at Bonds Decor! We would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is entirely up to you. However, if you want to keep your walls looking as fresh as the day they were first painted, then follow these guidelines for the different rooms in your home:

  • Living Room & Dining Room
    • If durable, high-quality paint is used, and you consider wear and tear on your walls, then it is best to repaint these rooms every 5 to 7 years.
  • Kitchen, Bathroom & Laundry Room
    • o Food splatters and messy fingers on kitchen walls, along with moisture in the bathroom and laundry room result in these rooms needing to be repainted more often than the living room and dining room. Using durable gloss paint on trim and satin paint on walls will help you get the most out of your paint job. Still, it’s best to repaint these rooms every 3 to 5 years.
  • Bedrooms
    • Adult bedrooms usually see the least amount of wear on their walls so you probably won’t need to repaint until you decide it’s time to change up the colour.
      • Kids’ bedrooms are a different story since they use their rooms for both sleeping and playing and the walls can take a beating in the process. Use eggshell or satin sheen paint in kids’ bedrooms to get the most out of your paint job. Still, these rooms generally need to be repainted every 2 to 3 years.
  • Hallways
    • Hallways and corridors are walked through more than any other space in your home. You will most likely find more dents, scuff marks and other wear and tear on your walls than in any other space in your home. Use durable paint to protect your walls as best you can, but still, consider repainting your hallways every 2 to 3 years.

Winter is the best time to paint your house interior for a few reasons:

  • Time off during the holidays gives you plenty of free time to do the job.
    • If you have the free time at home, you might as well put it to good use!
  • Professional help can be cheaper and more flexible.
    • Wintertime is typically off-season for professional painters. Some contractors may even charge less for their services during this downtime. Not only that, but since contractors are less busy during the winter months, they may be more willing to work around your schedule rather than you working around theirs.
  • Paint dries faster in the winter time.
    • The warmer temperatures from late spring to early fall usually bring extra humidity in the air. This moisture causes wet paint to dry more slowly. Winter air is cold, crisp and dry. If you paint your interior and crack a window for ventilation, you’ll find your paint dries very quickly.
  • It can save you time.
    • If you are planning any other home improvement projects for the coming year, you can get your interior painting out of the way early giving you more time to focus on other projects when the weather warms up!

Yes! It is best to wash your walls with at least a mild detergent and water before painting. Most high-quality paints are made to bond well to almost any surface, but they work best when the surface is perfectly clean and smooth.

Contact our team at Bond Decor if you have any questions about interior painting before you start your home project in Ottawa.

Yes, you should use primer when painting or repainting your walls. If you don’t use a primer, you risk your paint job looking blotchy, cracking and peeling. A high-quality paint primer will ensure your paint adheres evenly and stays put. Use one coat of primer when:

  • Painting any colour over a white wall
  • Using a tinted primer that matches the shade of your new paint
  • Use two coats of primer when:

  • Painting unfinished drywall or plaster
  • Painting unfinished wood walls
  • Painting over a dark colour with a lighter one

You can skip using a primer if you decide to use self-priming paint. If you have any more questions about interior painting, contact us today!

The paint sheen you select for interior painting depends on a number of factors. Paint sheen ranges from high gloss to matte. A safe or neutral choice is often eggshell or satin sheen for interior spaces. Paint sheen can vary from room to room and other spaces within your home. High gloss or similar semi-glossy sheens are generally fine for doors, trim, cabinetry, etc. For high traffic areas that could get touched or get dirty/greasy more easily, eggshell sheens make more sense. Matte is fine for the ceiling, since it’s easier to paint on and won’t be susceptible to dirt & stains up there (except for smokers & kitchen grease, etc.).

Get in touch with us! Our Bonds Decor Ottawa paint specialist will be happy to discuss your interior paint project and work with you to select paint sheens.

This is perhaps the most difficult decision you’ll make regarding your interior painting & remodeling project. The colour you paint your walls is something that you’ll be looking at for years to come! Paint colour sets the mood and the tone for your home. Not only do you have to be satisfied with the paint colour, it’s worth at least thinking about resale – for example, you may love a bold paint colour, but a potential buyer could be turned off. The paint colour should go with your furniture, the overall design of your home and with your tastes in general of course. If you really love a colour, hey, it’s your home and you should enjoy it. Many people choose a bold colour for an accent wall or for a smaller room.

Get in touch with our Bonds Decor Ottawa interior paint specialists, we’re happy to work with you to select paint colours.

Without going too complicated with the math, there are formulas we use to determine the amount of paint required for an interior paint project. This will also depend on the number of coats of paint you’ll be applying. Feel free to ask our Ottawa paint store specialists at Bonds Decor about how much paint you’ll need. A general rule of thumb is to divide the number of square feet of wall or ceiling space by the number of square feet a gallon of paint can cover. This second number can and does vary by paints. The paint company’s website should have this data available.

Visit us at one of our locations across Ottawa or contact our team, we’d be happy to help you figure out how much paint you need for your interior paint project!

Before putting your paintbrush to the surface, you’ll want to spend some time prepping the room(s) / area(s) that will be painted. This time should be well invested so that you don’t get paint on furniture, linens, drapes or other items that are in the room. That doesn’t mean that you’ll have to remove every single item from the room or area before beginning to paint. Start by taking out the furniture; some items may be able to be placed in the middle of the room with drop cloths placed properly over the entirety to prevent paint stains, etc. The walls should have ample clearance from any appliances, accessories, etc. Got framed photos or art on the walls? You’ll want to remove those and fill in the holes before painting.

Our Bonds Decor Ottawa paint specialist will be happy to work with you to go over the essentials on prepping before painting. Contact us today!
