Painting Myths You Should Know<\/p><\/div>\n

Painting a room can be one of the most budget-friendly ways to makeover a space. But some commonly held myths about choosing the right paint may prevent some homeowners from finding the truly perfect hue to enhance their space.<\/p>\n

Realtor.com\u00ae recently spoke with painting experts to address some of these common myths about painting a home. Some of those include:<\/p>\n

Dark paint colors make a room look small.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, it\u2019s just the opposite in many cases, says Ashley Blackmore, a real estate professional with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Western Colorado Properties. \u201cIf you use a dark color for an accent wall, it can truly make the home look much larger by adding variation to the eye,\u201d\u00a0Blackmore told realtor.com\u00ae.<\/p>\n

Primers aren\u2019t necessary.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many homeowners believe they can skip the primer step, but it\u2019s a crucial one to ensure the paint goes on correctly, experts say. \u201cIn order for your project to look like it was done professionally, you absolutely need to use primer,\u201d Kayla Martin, owner of Acme Home Interiors, told realtor.com\u00ae. \u201cIt helps make the paint job look smooth and allows the paint to adhere to the wall.\u201d<\/p>\n

You always need two coats of paint.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t assume you need two coats of paint. Many times you may not. \u201cIf you apply primer and are using a quality brand of paint, you can absolutely get away with one coat of paint,\u201d Martin says. However, it depends: Blackmore says in some cases she has seen rooms need six coats of paint, particularly where the walls weren\u2019t properly prepped for painting or where there was a previously darker color painted.<\/p>\n

Trim must always be white.<\/strong><\/p>\n

White trim is the most common color, but it doesn\u2019t always have to be, Morgan McBride of Charleston Crafted told realtor.com\u00ae. She says that extending your wall color to the trim for both the top and bottom can make walls appear taller. It can also emphasize the details in the room\u2019s moldings, she says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
