While we do not put that much urgency into revamping our guest room's overall appeal, that doesn't mean that we shouldn't do it - the overall state of our guest rooms are quite indicative of us as hosts.

Treating your guest room to a fresh coat of paint will definitely give it that nice revamp and elevated appeal, but how can you properly prepare for it?

Without further ado, here are Tips For Preparing To Paint Your Guest Room.

1. Do Proper Surface Preparation First

In preparing to paint your guest room, the first thing that you should do as a part of your preparation process would be to do proper surface preparation.

Proper surface preparation includes inspecting the surface/space for any signs of damage or dents, repairing them accordingly if there are any, and making sure that your surface is a clean and even one, to ensure a great paint finish as a result.

It is important to do proper surface preparation because it is a big determining factor to the success of your painting project - you can clearly see the difference in quality of a project that had proper surface preparation, and one that has failed to do so.

Additionally, proper surface preparation is important because if you have imperfections on your surface, such as dents or holes, you will want to get these patched up first since no amount of primer nor paint will ever be able to cover them up by themselves.

2. Choose A Paint Color Carefully

In preparing to paint your guest room, you'll also have to make a crucial decision: choosing a paint color to use for the project, which in this case, you'll have to do thoughtfully and carefully.

When deciding on a paint color to use, there are several factors that you'll have to take into consideration.

First, you'll have to take the lighting in your guest room into consideration - this is because lighting will have an effect on how your paint color will eventually look once it is painted on there.

So, to ensure that you'll be getting a paint color that goes well with your guest room's lighting, you should make sure to check paint samples inside your guest room.

Additionally, you should also take a look and observe the colors present in your guest room, as this is another factor that you need to take into consideration when you are choosing a paint color.

Essentially, you'd want to end up with a paint color that goes well with them, to ensure a cohesive and aesthetically appealing finish.

3. Clear The Guest Room Space

When preparing for your guest room painting project, you should ensure to clear your guest room space first before anything else.

In a painting project, so much movement and action is involved, so it would be much better for you to free up as much space as possible, to allow for freer and relaxed movements as you make you way in painting the space.

4. Don't Forget To Buy Primer

Another tip that is essential to preparing for any painting project would be to not forget primer.

Primer, in any painting project, is non-negotiable, and for good reasons: for starters, primer will ensure that you will have a good surface for your paint to adhere to, and ensure that your coat of paint will have good coverage, thus, making your coat of paint brighter and more vibrant.

Additionally, applying a coat of primer before your coat of paint strengthens its durability and longevity - so if you don't want to be revisiting and repainting your project anytime soon, you should add a can of primer or two in your cart when you're shopping for painting materials.
