The Magic of Paint

Maximum impact, minimum cost

The value of paint in home decor cannot be overstated.  If you are preparing to sell your home, a fresh paint job is one of the first things you should consider.  If you want to give a room a quick update without spending a fortune, paint will do the trick.  And perhaps the best thing - unlike that sofa you spent $$$$ on a year ago and now dislike - a shade of paint is not expensive or difficult to change.


If you are looking for advice and inspiration, the design areas of paint company websites such as  Sherwin-Williams , Benjamin Moore, and Farrow&Ball are excellent places to start.
