At Paint It, we understand that one of the greatest ways to add instant appeal to your home is to update the front door painting colors of the house. Updating these colors can help give your home instant curb appeal and an overall polished look.

Choosing the Right Paint

Paint It OKC is experienced in repainting doors as well as guiding homeowners through the process of choosing the right colors. While the list of front door painting colors can feel overwhelming at first, our specialists will ease you into the process and help you narrow down the options.

We exclusively use the Sherwin-Williams line of paints due to their high-quality finishes and durability—ensuring a spectacular finished product every time.

Colors Give Way to Design

Deciding on a door color depends entirely on what kind of design theme you are trying to introduce into your home. For instance, lively colors such as green and teal work best for contemporary style homes. We recommend trying Sherwin-Williams “Overt Green” (SW 6718) – a fun and bold color that evokes feelings of tranquility and safety.

If you’re looking to add a pop of color to a relatively neutral facade, red may be the way to go. A classic red door such as Sherwin-Williams “Heartthrob” (SW 6866) can pack a powerful punch, and invite a lot of admiration from the neighbors.

A foolproof door color is the glossy black door. Black works with many different design themes as well as many different sidings. From brick, stucco, stone to wood sidings a black door will pair wonderfully with any of them. We recommend using the Sherwin-Williams “Caviar” (SW 6990) paint color to get the best results.

So if you’re looking to update your door, trim, or interior colors, give Paint It OKC a call!

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.

If any of these interior painting faux finishes appeal to you – call the painting professionals at Paint It OKC, and let us help you choose a new look for your home.

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.

• Monochromatic Palettes

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.

• Shades of White

“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.

• Shades of Peach

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.

• Milky Blues

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.
