Get your home summer-ready!

Looking to give your home’s exterior a fresh and modern facelift without diving into a major renovation? Whether you’re a seasoned DIYer or just dipping your toes into home improvement, there are simple and impactful ways to upgrade your curb appeal.

Here are some quick and easy ideas to get started.
1. Paint an accent wall

One of the simplest ways to refresh your exterior is by adding an accent wall. Choose a bold, contrasting colour that complements your existing palette to create a focal point. It’s an easy project that can be completed in a weekend and offers immediate results. Prominent Paints’ tough and versatile exterior and interior paints are ideal for adding a splash of colour while providing lasting protection from the elements.

2. Revive your front door

A fresh coat of paint on your front door can make a big difference. Opt for a bold colour like Signal Red, Dark Grey or Grey, or Cosmos from our Premium Gloss Enamel range to instantly elevate your home’s entryway. Pair this with polished hardware for a quick yet sophisticated upgrade. It’s an affordable and fast way to give your home a welcoming feel.

3. Freshen up trim and shutters

Faded or peeling trim can make your home look tired. Give it a quick refresh by repainting window trims and shutters in a crisp, clean shade like white, black, or a colour that complements your exterior walls. A few coats of quality paint can restore their appearance and enhance your home’s overall look.

4. Create visual interest with texture

Consider using textured paint or applying a new coat of paint to outdoor features like pergolas, fences, or garden walls. Prominent Paints offers a wide range of textured colour options that can add depth and dimension to your exterior surfaces, creating a visually interesting space.

5. Outdoor furniture and decor

If you’re not quite ready to tackle the walls, give your outdoor furniture a quick makeover. A coat of paint on wooden furniture or even a metal bench can breathe new life into your exterior space. Don’t forget to use a suitable primer like Prominent Paints’ alkyd-based primer for wood to ensure a long-lasting finish.

With these easy DIY projects, your home’s exterior will be looking fresh and vibrant in no time. Whether it’s a bold accent wall or a simple door refresh, Prominent Paints has everything you need to get the job done and ensure your home stands out for all the right reasons! 

Happy painting!
