Holiday Season Prep: How Interior Paint Can Make Your Home Feel Festive
Deck the Halls with a Fresh Coat

The holidays are approaching! Time to hang the stockings, put the star on the tree, and… repaint the living room? You would be surprised how a new coat of fresh paint can perk up a room for the holiday season!
Forget the tinsels and string lights (not really!) this year, and explore the festive possibilities of
interior painting.
Holiday Accent Walls
An accent wall can add an excellent dash of holiday spirit to a room without overwhelming the space.
- Classic: A deep red accent wall adds warmth and coziness to a living room or dining room. Add green accents in decor for the classic Christmas feel.
- Elegant: An emerald green accent wall can be quite an excellent backdrop for all your holiday decorations. Add touches of gold for that extra elegance.
- Warm: A rich burgundy accent wall with cream-colored furniture and decor creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for the holidays.
Modern Hues
Not feeling traditional? Try one of these trendy color combinations and achieve the perfect glamorous holiday look:
- Cool and Sophisticated: A Navy blue accent wall evokes a modern elegant holiday backdrop, and if paired with silver or white accents, it would create a cool and festive look.
- Bright and Modern: A crisp white accent wall will freshen up any room, making it bright and modern for your holiday decorations. Add some gold accents for warmth and luxury.
- Winter Wonderland: Paint a cool, refreshing icy blue accent wall to enhance your cool holiday vibes. Silver or white accents will complete that winter wonderland feel.
Festive Trims and Ceilings
Don't forget the often-overlooked areas!
- Trims: Paint your trim in a contrasting holiday color to give it a unique twist. Try a crisp white trim against a deep red wall, or a shimmering gold trim against rich green.
- Ceilings: Paint your ceiling the same color that you use for your wall, but a shade lighter. It gives a spacious kind of feeling and a festive feel to it.
Cheerful Patterns
- Geometric Patterns: An accent wall with a geometric pattern could be an excellent method to give a modern holiday feel to the room. Indulge in colors like red, green, or gold for an even more festive look.
- Stripes: A classic stripe pattern can add a great deal of visual interest. To give your space a holiday feel, try holiday colors like red and white or green and white.
- Ombre: Create a gradient effect on your accent wall with holiday colors such as red and green or blue and white. This will give an otherwise plain wall a unique, eye-catching look for the holidays.
