Dear Home Building Enthusiast,

It’s that time of year again when we start cleaning out our homes and updating decor to reinvigorate rooms. One of the easiest ways to create this change is to re-paint walls.

Spring is considered the best season to paint because precipitation and humidity are low but the weather is still warm. While interior painting is less dependent on favourable weather conditions, mild, dry weather is still best as it allows for open windows. This means natural air circulating through the room to help with drying and sunlight enabling accurate colour matching.

With Dulux recently revealing its 2019 colour forecast, there is plenty of inspiration available to help you revitalise interior walls and add a splash of colour to rooms.

Enjoy!
