When to Paint a New Home

A wall clock is mounted on a textured white surface. Bright, colorful paint splashes surround the clock, with hues of blue, teal, yellow, pink, and red. The paint appears to be dripping, creating a dynamic and artistic effect. The clock has a simple white face with black numbers and hands.

Have you just moved into a new home and are unsure when to tackle that much-needed painting job? If you’ve found yourself staring at the walls, debating whether now is the right time to give your new space a fresh coat, you’re not alone. Many new homeowners in Perth face the same dilemma.

Common Challenges for New Homeowners

Owning a new home is thrilling, but it comes with its own set of challenges—especially when it comes to painting. Here are some hurdles you might be facing:

  • Timing: When is the right time to paint without disrupting your move?
  • Colour Choices: Which colours will enhance your space and potentially increase your home’s value
  • DIY vs Professional: Should you take the do-it-yourself route or hire professionals?

Practical Solutions to Your Painting Challenges

Timing is Everything

Ideally, you should paint before moving in if possible. It’s far easier to paint an empty space than to work around furniture and unpacked boxes. However, if that ship has sailed, consider tackling one room at a time to minimise disruption.

Choosing the Perfect Palette

Neutrals are generally a safe bet if you’re uncertain about colour choices. They offer a timeless look and appeal to a wider range of tastes, which is especially useful if resale value is a consideration. But remember, your home should reflect your personality too! Pick a few accent walls or smaller spaces to add pops of colour.

DIY or Call the Pros?

While a DIY approach might seem cost-effective, hiring professionals ensures a flawless finish and saves you time and potentially costly mistakes.
