February 1, 2020| Garage Envy| 0 Comment

Knowing you want to upgrade the look of your garage is step 1, step 2 and beyond is how to go about it. One of the major choices to make is the painting of your garage interior. Changing the face of your four walls can completely transform the entire garage space. Thinking about painting this way is exciting, but slightly daunting. Take away some of the fear and focus on the fun with these garage painting ideas to assist in your creative brainstorming!

Let’s get ready to paint!

1. First Comes the Foundation

What makes painting the interior of your garage different from the interior of your home is the temperature factor. Garages can experience drastic degree fluctuations that you need to consider when choosing your paint type. Acrylic latex paint is one of the best choices you can make. The resilient nature of acrylic latex paint makes it perfect for defending against yo-yo weather while being less prone to chipping, peeling or bubbling. Latex paint dries quickly and is easy to clean up without the use of solvents, which is better for you and the environment.

2. Be Savvy in Shade Selection

Your garage is another extension of your home, which makes it another extension of your style. You can scheme any theme that suits your taste, but there are a few factors to consider when narrowing down your color choices:

Garages tend to not get as much natural light, so choose a lighter hue to reflect as much light as possible to give your garage a warm and welcoming feel.
Neutral colors can hide dirt, mud, and debris better than white, cream or yellow. Just because you go neutral doesn’t mean you need to go dark. Try a tan or light gray as an alternative!
Can’t make up your mind? Have fun with your design and make an accent wall to add a fashionable focal point. You can choose a bright and bold color to really make a statement.

And if you still can’t make up your mind on color, why
not have more than one color on your accent wall?

3. Multi-dimensional Ideas

Using only plain, flat paint on walls is limiting your garage design potential. Add some flair to traditional flat paint walls with some non-traditional ideas.

Ever hear of chalkboard paint? You can square off a section of your garage wall near an entryway and create versatile and visually pleasing wall accent. Follow the proper preparation, paint, and enjoy endless uses for your new wall. Write greetings to the family, start your store list, or just draw silly pictures to put a smile on your face when you get home at the end of a long day.

Let your creative flag fly high when coming up with
your garage painting plan!

Textured paint is a great option for your garage walls. Not only will the texture add a design element to the overall visual, but it is a great way to cover up any preexisting imperfections.
