Festive season prep: make your home guest-ready!

Festive season prep: make your home guest-ready!

The festive season is upon us a time filled with family gatherings, friendly get-togethers, and holiday cheer. It’s also the perfect time to give your home a refresh before the guests arrive. A little paint can go a long way in transforming your space.

Here are some easy DIY painting projects to help make your home festive and guest ready:

1. Revamp your front door for a welcoming entrance

First impressions matter, and your front door is the first thing guests notice. A fresh coat of paint in a bold or festive colour like Signal Red, Windsor Green, or Cosmos can instantly boost your curb appeal. Use a weather-resistant exterior paint from the Prominent Paints Neuklad range to ensure durability, and don’t forget to sand and prime the surface for a smooth finish.

2. Create a feature wall in the living room

A feature wall is an easy and cost-effective way to make your living room more festive and stylish. Choose a striking colour that complements your existing decor or opt for a trendy geometric or ombré design. Prominent Paints’ wide range of vibrant hues and high-quality finishes will make your walls the highlight of your home.

DIY-Friendly Tools: Painter’s tape, a level, and a roller brush.

3. Refresh kitchen cabinets and furniture

The kitchen often becomes the heart of festive gatherings. Brighten up the space by painting your cabinets or giving your dining table and chairs a new lease on life. Use Prominent Paints Eggshell Enamel for its hardwearing, scrubbable finish that’s ideal for kitchens and dining spaces.

Quick Tip: Light neutral colours or soft pastels can make the kitchen feel airy and inviting.

4. Update the guest bathroom with a fresh look

A freshly painted bathroom can leave a lasting impression on your guests. Consider painting the walls in calming tones like Aloe, Monte Carlo, or River Clay to create a spa-like ambiance. Pair it with Prominent Paints’ moisture-resistant finishes for a long-lasting makeover.

5. Add personality to hallways with patterns

Hallways are often overlooked, but they can set the tone for your entire home. Try painting a stripe pattern or stencilled design to make this space pop. Use contrasting colours for a dramatic effect or soft hues for a subtle charm.

6. Spruce up outdoor spaces for festive entertaining

Don’t forget your patio or outdoor dining area. Painting metal pergolas, wooden furniture, or even plant pots can breathe new life into your exterior spaces. Prominent Paints offers durable outdoor paints that can withstand the summer heat while adding vibrant colour to your decor.
