If you’re anything like me, moving into a new home is always accompanied by very mixed feelings – it’s all very exciting but also stressful, full of fun new opportunities that are somewhat daunting, too. One of those ‘opportunities’ to make the new space feel more like you are the walls and giving them a new coat of paint – but the question is, should you paint as soon as you move in? Or how long should you wait before taking the plunge?
Of course, the process starts with gathering your favourite paint ideas and shades you naturally gravitate towards. But the orientation and lighting should also be a factor in choosing the perfect paint colour for each room – so ordering paint samples before buying your tins of paint is highly recommended by experts. Give yourself a few weeks to unpack, get to know the new space and settle in before ordering your samples, though.
