Say your clients recently purchased a home and now they need a little design inspiration to bring it into all its glory. Paint is often the fastest and more transformative way to quickly update a space. Interior decorator Nicole Gibbons, who become known as the \u201cpaint maven\u201d with her own brand, Clare, has four tips for using color to update a room. Here are a few of her insider tips :<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 Pare down your color choices. <\/strong>Research shows that it typically takes an average of four months to choose paint color, which is an unsettling statistic for Gibbons. Tell your clients to focus on a more narrow, curated palette from the get-go, which will help them to not become overwhelmed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 Try the color on.<\/strong> Peel and stick color samples are a great way to try out a color without the mess of mini cans of paint and partially painted walls.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 Shine a light on it.<\/strong> View potential paint color at different times of day, Gibbons recommends, and in different artificial lighting to get the full impact of the color.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 Don\u2019t forget the primer.<\/strong> \u201cThink of primer as a base coat that creates the foundation for a flawless paint job,\u201d Gibbons writes. It covers imperfections, creates a uniform surface, and neutralized the color so the paint your client chooses appears in its truest, most brilliant form. Two coats may be needed if you\u2019re toning down a higher-gloss paint finish in a switch to matte, or if you\u2019re going from a darker to a lighter hue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/styledstagedsold.blogs.realtor.org\/2018\/12\/13\/4-tips-for-using-paint-to-update-a-home\/\">4 Tips for Using Paint to Update a Home<\/a> by Erica Christoffer | Realtor.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Painting a room can be a quick, transformative update for new homeowners to accomplish.
