Interior Inspiration

The Paint Dr says it’s a great time to schedule some interior paint work.

Our crew works hard throughout the warmer months to achieve the best possible exterior paint jobs on customer homes and buildings. However, now it’s time for an inside job or two to keep things rolling through the winter months.

You can expect to get your best deal of the year on interior paint jobs when we are looking to keep our crew busy and the business running strong during the winter months.

So give the Paint Dr a call today and get that interior paint project on the calendar. 541-497-3804 [email protected]

Check out these interior paint color ideas from Sherwin-Williams:

Too Cool for Pool

When Albany realized it needed to upgrade the color scheme on the pool building at Swanson Park, they called the Doctor. Two tone blue was the right choice of color and Paint Doctor’s Painting was the right choice of contractor.

Flat Black Wall

We thought this flat black wall was pretty cool. You can’t get much more neutral than black so any décor colors will pop when added to the scene to create the look you want.

Color used: Sherwin-Williams Black Magic.

Base Cabinet Color Upgrade

The current trend of painting base cabinets with an accent color adds visual interest to this home. Notice how the wall cabinets, countertops, appliances and walls are all neutral colors.

Considering a cabinet color change? It could be just what the Doctor prescribes.

Blue Sky SW0063 by Sherwin-Williams made a big difference in this kitchen.

Stop, Drop and Roll

You should include some quality drop cloths in your homeowner painting and remodeling kit. Hardly a painting project can be done without this vital protection to the floor surfaces in your home or office.

Several runner drops designed for hallways and room perimeters should be the backbone of your drop cloth supplies. These are commonly available in 4 feet by 12 feet or 4 feet by 15 feet and are very versatile for many of your touchup projects. After getting your runners, decide how large your room size drop cloth should be – perhaps a 9’x12′ or 10’x20′

Good drop clothes are heavy enough weight to stay in place, have a canvas absorbent side and a moisture blocking side. We recommend that you buy good quality and plan to keep your drop cloths for years of use.

Of course to get a good long life from your drop cloths, you need to take care of them – making sure they are clean of debris and dry before putting them away. Be sure to store them in a dry location as well. Our rainy area can cause stored drop cloths to deteriorate if they are not kept dry.

As we often say, painting is mostly prep and drop cloths are a big part of the prep before you take the lid off of that paint can!

Creative Colors for Furniture

You can add accent colors to your living areas with some bold color choices. Check out these samples we found at Sherwin-Williams.com

Bungalow Bath

Using the trim paint color for both the door and the wainscot give this bathroom a bold two tone look that transformed this space.

Whites are never really white, are they? In this case the Alabaster white provides a toned down version for those sleepy morning eyes.

Cabinet Creative

Here’s another idea from the Sherwin-Williams Color Postcard collection: “Give an old cabinet new life with fresh paint. Using a vibrant color inside the hutch will help highlight your collections.”

Here are the colors used for this project:

The Paint Doctor, an Albany, Oregon painting contractor, can help with your creative interior projects.

One Color Interior

We like to help our clients figure out different ways to save money on their projects. One thing we suggest for those with rental properties is using one paint throughout the interiors. This helps avoid confusion, speeds the touch up and repair process and saves money on applications.

The most efficient form of this concept is using the same paint on walls, doors and trim. Surprisingly, the trim looks like it is a different shade because of the difference in texture and the added contour of shadow lines. This is an obvious time saver when touching up and repainting the unit.

This approach requires the right choice in paint, especially sheen, but it can provide excellent, long lasting results when done according to the Doctor.
