If you are considering remodeling your home, you may be stumped when it comes to selecting interior paint colors. The options are endless, from different paint brands, to different colors and hues. Where do you begin?
Quality Begins at the Brand
When it comes to ensuring that your painting project looks professional and lasts throughout the years, the quality of the finished product begins with the paint brand. Because of this, we only use the Sherwin-Williams line of interior paints.
Coupled with the professionalism of the Paint It OKC team, Sherwin-Williams interior paints will complement your home and improve the home’s overall look.
Selecting the Right Colors
When selecting colors for your home, you may want to consider resale value. Many of our clients live in homes that might not be the last home they ever purchase. There may be situations that would necessitate the need to relocate,
especially if they have a young family outgrowing the space.
Selecting interior paint colors to improve the overall resale value of your home is a smart thing to do. Especially when you select colors that improve the overall resale value of your home, are on-trend, or are universally appealing. You will not have to sacrifice good taste in order to get a desirable look to your home and increase its market value.
According to home-design site Zillow Digs, the colors you choose in the rooms of your home can both positively and negatively affect the resale value of your property. According to their research, the right color selection can add as much as $1,300 to property value.
So what colors are both on-trend and will increase home value? Zillow Digs determined “homes with yellow kitchens, often in hues of creamy or wheat yellow, yielded the highest sale premium.” In addition to this, light grays and greens in bedrooms and living rooms also increased resale prices, while egg-shell and white colored kitchens negatively affect final resale prices.
We can help you choose the colors to paint your home. Give Paint It OKC a call. We will bring your ideas to life.

Deciding to freshen up your place of work may be a daunting task at first. Determining which style to go for, which furniture to purchase and what colors to paint your walls can feel overwhelming. At Paint It OKC we understand the intricacies that go into these commercial remodels, and we would like to share our experiences to better prepare you for the work ahead.
Take Inspiration from Others
One of the best things you can do is peruse through the internet and design magazines to find inspiration for your space. By seeing what others have done, and how they have combined pieces of furniture with other elements of design, you can narrow down exactly what style elements you like and which ones you don’t. This is especially true when deciding what commercial painting colors you would like to use in your space.
At Paint It OKC we only use the finest quality paints for our OKC commercial painting projects. We exclusively paint with Sherwin-Williams whose line of high performance commercial paints are the best in the business. Not only are the colors rich and vibrant, but the quality of the paint ensures longevity and a brilliant finished product.
Get Creative
Redesigning commercial spaces is one of our favorite projects to work on. It’s especially true because the colors and style you choose for your space will shape the environment and work style of your business.
Getting creative with your colors and design elements can add a pop of fun to the workplace. Adding accents walls, painting the ceiling a vibrant color and even painting the exterior of your business a fun color can make you stand out and look modern and edgy.
But if it’s not edginess you’re looking for, but rather classic and traditional, the colors in your space can evoke this feeling as well. Choosing warmer colors—such as a dark navy or various shades of brown – can cozy up the space. It can make the space appear more professional, upscale, and put together.
Whichever style you end up choosing, Paint It OKC can help turn your inspiration into reality. We deliver quality service and outstanding finished products, and are among the top OKC commercial painting companies in the area.

Ever feel like you need a change from the usual, flat, dull, or glossy paint sheens you see every day? Now, may be the time for you to look into specialty finishes for interior painting that will give your home a new look.
Faux finish is a term used to describe many decorative painting techniques that replicate the appearance of marble, wood, stone, and other materials. This term has also expanded to describe decorative finishes of varying textures and surfaces.
#1 Old World Finishes
Old World styles of specialty finishes are inspired by plastering techniques once used in ancient Rome. These finishes are all about conveying a classy feel with a sense of history and rustic charm. Old World finishes utilize a fresco (a painted picture or design) and the have 3 distinct sub styles: textured, smooth, and high polish. A textured fresco produces the characteristics of aged and weathered plaster walls. This heightens the sense of history that this specialty finish conveys and looks great in foyers and bathrooms. The smooth fresco has a soft, earthy texture that gives a comfortable and casual vibe. This fresco is excellent for enhancing living and dining rooms. Finally, the high polish fresco, a marble-like, smooth, and glossy sheen is great for creating a classic upscale environment.
#2 Metallic Finishes
While Old World finishes may allude to ancient history, Metallic finishes have a subtly dramatic air about them that hint to a more modern age. According to Sherwin-Williams Paints, these sleek and shimmery sheens are great for rooms you wish to entertain in. These finishes are perfect for dressing up a space and make for great accent walls. The effects on a room vary based on the different textures as well. If you opt for a smooth metallic sheen, you will gain a larger sense of refined luxury, while more texture adds dimension and makes for a sense of drama.
#3 Quartz Stone Finishes
Inspired by beautiful, earthly stones, Quartz Stone finishes offer a pleasant visual and tactile quality. These finishes have a different, crystal quality that imitates the twinkling of rock minerals found in sedimentary outcroppings. These specialty finishes have a subtle and refined twinkle that, according to the aforementioned Sherwin-Williams, are perfect for master suites, entry halls, and guest bedrooms.
#4 Artisan Finishes
Artisan finishes allow painters to express their creative, one-of-a-kind, handcrafted touch. Using various materials such as a sponge, plastic bag, leaves, and tissue paper, a painter will press into the paint and create a textured pattern with a visually pleasing appearance. Artisan finishes range anywhere from decorative and natural, to elegant and sophisticated. These finishes make great accent walls and are fantastic in bedrooms and bathrooms.

Spring is the season of renewal, and there’s no better way to celebrate it than starting an interior painting project. It’s time to open the windows, start cleaning and get busy painting. This spring some popular interior paint colors include monochromatic palettes, shades of white, shades of peach and milky blues. The interior painting experts at Paint It OKC have put together this bit of information on 2016 paint colors.
In an interview with the Columbia Daily Tribune, Sue Wadden, director of color marketing for Sherwin-Williams said, “Spring inspires us to look for lighter but not always brighter colors.” That’s why colors such as Unfussy Beige and Useful Gray are so popular this year. People are liking light, calming and somewhat monochromatic palettes, which are influenced by feelings of wellness and balance.
“White is a hot trend in home design this year,” according to House Beautiful Magazine. White brings a sense of freshness, cleanliness, and purity to the space it covers. There are several shades of white to choose from, making the selection process tricky, yet rewarding, when done well.
This is why Paint It recommends experimenting with different color combinations of white paint by test painting multiple walls or surfaces. Doing this allows you to see how daylight affects the look of the paint at different points in the day. Ideally, the shade combination you choose brings complexity and variety to your space while maintaining a sense of harmony, too.
Peach is making a comeback. In fact, Pantone, the world-renowned authority on color, included Peach Echo in its spring 2016 fashion color report. Now, peach is prevalent in home design. After all, fashion influences home design and vice versa.
Peach paint brings a feeling of warmth, comfort, and coziness to a room. That is why it is often used in guest rooms, dining rooms or the front areas of a home, breaking up the monotony of neutral paints like beige or tan. It’s also often used for accent walls to provide a pop of color. Peach paint pairs well with shades of blues and white.
Like white, “milky blue paint will be huge in 2016 home design,” according to House Beautiful Magazine. It balances well with warmer colors and brings a sense of relaxation to your space, often working well in bathrooms and bedrooms. Milky blue paint also may create a vintage, shabby chic, European inspired look when paired with antique accessories like chandeliers, lamps and other knick knacks. It is the perfect spring color to create a comforting space.

Wooden accents are a great addition to your home to invigorate and add character to your home or office. No matter what types of wooden accents are used, including them in your project will enhance the space. This is because wood not only looks great with high quality stain or paint, but also helps to convey a sense of hospitality and warmth within the home. Some of the most popular wooden accents Paint It OKC works on are wooden doors, wooden walls and wooden ceilings.
Wooden doors are extremely versatile as they may be painted or stained. An extremely popular type of door right now are barn doors for large and spacious rooms. Our expert consultants help home owners choose the right stain or paint for wooden doors depending on the type of aesthetic design you desire. When painted or stained correctly, wooden doors are the final high end touch that transforms a home from nice to luxurious.
When a room is feeling monotonous or rather boring, wooden accent walls—either painted or stained—may be the perfect addition to make the space more interesting. This is because wooden accent walls help emphasize some of your home’s best architecture while also ushering in warmth, depth and sophistication. The interior painters at Paint It OKC have noticed that most people with white or off white rooms like to incorporate wooden accent walls for an extra touch of character.
Wooden ceilings may help bring about a rustic or country feel within a home. Like wooden accent walls, wooden ceilings help break up a room’s monotony. This happens through introducing a different texture to the room, making it feel more cozy. Another option, slatted wood ceilings help to convey a more modern feel within a home. No matter what style of wood ceiling you incorporate in your home, you can be certain the space will be much more unique and beautiful after it is installed.

The first, official day of spring is March 19th. Spring means spending time outdoors, baseball games and time to begin home improvement projects. In fact, spring is the absolute best time of year to start your home painting projects like exterior painting for your home.
At Paint It OKC, our preferred paint partner is Sherwin Williams. They are known for their vibrant colors and durable paints. Sherwin Williams has developed coatings that allow exterior painting in cooler temperatures as low as 35 degrees. According to usclimatedata.com, the average March and April low temperature in Oklahoma sits around 45-46 degrees. These mild temperatures provide an optimal environment for exterior painting in Oklahoma City. Milder weather will allow exterior painting to form a stronger bond with your home’s siding or wood.
Another benefit of painting your home in the spring is increased protection from the elements. The right exterior paint from Sherwin Williams can shield your home’s siding or wood from intense UV rays in the summer and nasty precipitation like ice and snow in the winter. You are essentially extending the longevity of your home by making sure it is covered when the weather gets extreme.
The time to begin all your spring and summer projects for 2016 is upon us. Exterior paint color for your home will be the focal point around which you will begin to coordinate complementary colors of flowerbeds or lawn and garden accent pieces.

Now that spring is near, we have been working on a higher volume of home improvement projects. Most of these projects are house painting related, but we’ve also been getting a lot of requests for wood staining; particularly for fences, decks, baseboard trim, and exposed beams. Paint It is known for interior painting and exterior painting in OKC, but we also have the expertise to work on many other projects too, which is why today’s blog is dedicated to wood staining.
If you’re on the fence about whether or not to get your fence stained (see what we did there), we suggest you call us! Fresh fence staining will help prevent rotting, splitting, and may even increase your home’s value! Staining wood fences is a process, but we make it as streamlined as possible for you at Paint It. Before we begin fence staining, a Paint It project manager will help customers first select the right stain material and color. The fence gets power washed, which cleans off any dirt, grime, mold or mildew. Next, we’ll stain and seal the fence before a project manager gives a final walk through inspection to address any concerns.
Pool season is just a few months away, and there’s no better way to give your pool area an upgrade than by giving your deck a fresh, new look with a high-quality deck staining. Plus, regular deck staining helps protect the surface from sun and water damage, which is something pool owners should keep in mind. Paint It will walk the customer through the process of deck staining, which is the same process for staining fences mentioned above.
Depending on the color of the stain chosen and the type of trim used, a home can be perceived as traditional, rustic, bold or edgy. Come to us with a vision for your home’s baseboard trim, and one of Paint It’s dedicated project managers will guide you through the entire project. We will start with stain material and color selection. There are a lot of variables that go into choosing stain, and there are many finishes and colors available. Paint It is a stain expert, and we will help you find the right color and type of stain for your home.
Staining the exposed support beams can give your home a finished look that it may have been lacking. There are many wood beam styles used in modern construction, and keeping them stained keeps them looking good while protecting them from deterioration.
