Clean and Refresh Your Walls

You would never go several years at a time without cleaning your floors, but not cleaning your walls or ceiling for a decade is not at all uncommon. While it is true that floors accumulate a lot more debris thanks to gravity, your walls and ceilings may be dirtier than you suspect.

When you repaint, the first task is to prepare the surface by sanding and cleaning it. You then usually lay down a layer of primer as a base coat. At this point, your walls are cleaner than they have ever been since the last time they were painted. Once the color you chose is completely applied, you will have pristine walls that look far fresher than they have in years.

While home exterior paint plays a crucial role in safeguarding the siding and trim against the harsh weather conditions of UAE, interior paint can also fulfill a similar function. As time passes, materials such as drywall and plaster tend to soak up moisture, causing a gradual deterioration of their structural strength and increasing the load on your walls and ceiling.

Paint seals out moisture, protecting these surfaces from being saturated or being eventually contaminated with pathogens like mold or mildew. Paint can also repel dust, dirt and allergens from the walls, so these can be swept off the floor more easily. In older homes with plaster walls, paint can even prevent dust from forming in places where the plaster would have otherwise begun to disintegrate.

While paint can be thought of as practical, it is usually a cosmetic choice. Even still, just because something is aesthetically pleasing does not mean that it is a shallow preference. Psychological studies have shown that color affects mood, especially when it surrounds an entire environment like a room. Pastels can be calming, for example, whereas bold primaries or secondaries can be energizing. You can learn more about color psychology for interior decorating in posts like this one from Freshome, but the gist is that repainting a room can alter the way it makes you feel when you enter it.

Outside of emotion, interior wall colors also affect factors like light travel and coordination with décor. Painting a room in a lighter shade can make a dark and uninviting room suddenly bright and cheerful while also saving you money on lighting costs.

Because of all the above reasons, painting a wall can often take the place of a pricier home remodel for people who want to increase their home’s resale value. Clean-looking rooms with well-protected walls and a calculated emotional effect all equate to a better buyer experience when they come to view than if you had left your walls the way they were.

You can enjoy these advantages with minimal effort, resources, and disturbance to your household, unlike other extensive remodeling projects. In the UAE region, most property experts suggest repainting as a viable option to enhance the worth and attractiveness of your home without a massive expenditure.
