Painting with Dad: Picking the Right House Paint Colors

June 09, 2023 – 3 min read

In today's fast-paced lifestyle, almost everyone is busy with their life. However, no matter how busy you get, it's important to make time for one person who's been there for you: Dad.

This Father's Day is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the role of your dad and to reflect on the bond you share with him. After all, a father and his child’s bond is like no other.

Instead of traditional celebrations such as taking him to a nice dinner, try something unique. Are you in need of some fresh house paint? Ask Dad if he's interested in some house painting this Father's Day. Just imagine you and your father painting all the rooms of your house. Some activities rekindle the emotion of the good ole days, something that money can't buy.

But how should you go about this, and what are the best approaches to painting your house with Dad?

If you're looking for some inspiration, head over to our professional painting services for the best ideas on painting with Dad. Not only can you speak with our expert team of painters, you can also view our gallery to decide on the best paint colors alongside your first childhood superhero.

 

Consider the Room’s Purpose and Mood

Think about the function of each room and the atmosphere you want to create. For example, a study room may benefit from calming colors like soft blues or neutrals, while living rooms look good with warm and inviting earthy tones. But, as it's a special day, you can always consider the opinion of Dad.

 

Take Lighting and Room Size Into Account

Another aspect to think about is lighting. Natural and artificial lighting can significantly influence the appearance of paint colors. Consider the amount and direction of light in the room at different times of the day.

Rooms with ample natural light can handle bolder or darker colors and vice versa. Understandably, you're excited to paint with your father, but don't let the excitement hamper the ambience of a room.

 

Test Paint Samples

Testing paint colors is an important step in interior house painting.

One option is to purchase small paint samples of the colors you're considering and apply them to a small section of a wall before going all-in. Then, observe how the colors look in different lighting conditions and against existing furniture and décor. Remember, it's Father's Day, so give Dad's opinion extra importance.

Head over to a paint supply store and ask if they offer paint samples. Some places, such as Home Depot, offer samples for you to take home.

 

Think Long-Term

Consider the longevity of the colors you choose. Opt for colors that will stand the test of time. If your father is leaning towards neutral colors like white, beige, or gray that are versatile, consider his opinion. The "big man" may choose colors that you can't refuse.

The quality of the paint you use is equally important. We recommend high-quality paints such as Behr paint. Make sure to conduct your own research on the paint before purchasing it.

House Painting With Dad Done Right

Painting your house will elevate the ambiance and give your home a fresh look. And with Dad by your side, anything is possible.

On this Father's Day 2023, try having a good time with the person who helped you become what you are today. Focus on having a quality conversation during the painting process and let the kid inside you roam free. Don't worry too much about the distemper grade or amateur painting mistakes. Instead, let yourself loose and make your father feel as if he has the best child in the world.

Most importantly, tell him how much you love him because this busy world may not give you too many opportunities to say that.
