Winter is almost here. The coldest season of the year starts on Friday, December 21st, 2018 and ends on Wednesday, March 20th, 2019. It will be more than 90 days of windy, snowy and cold days, at least for us living in New England. That is the reason why we are starting a new series of posts. Our goal is to inspire everyone to enjoy what this season has best to offer.

When the winter starts everything we want is to get home and have a nice place to keep all our seasonal clothing organized and ready to use. This place could easily be a mudroom. Very common in many houses, this “space” is a great solution to store everything your family – and yourself – need during the cold days. Why not transforming an uninteresting entry in a well painted and designed mudroom? In this post, we selected a few options that Level Five Painting, LLC. has painted in the past years. Get inspired.

Done in Brookline (MA) with the help of our friend and interior designer Emily Condon, this is a modern mudroom which walls received our painting service. In this room, our team used the color “Paper Doll CSP-485” by Benjamin Moore.

What about giving a new look to your old mudroom? Our wallpaper hanging service can help you with that. Get inspired by this room painted by our team in Needham (MA). The cabinets were coated with “White Dove OC-17” from Benjamin Moore and INSL-X products. The wallpaper was also installed by our talented team.

Simply and efficient: this mudroom was painted in Needham (MA) with the color “Linen White 912” from Benjamin Moore. It was coated with an INSL-X product.

Here is another picture of the same mudroom getting painted. We hope you have enjoyed this selection the same way we did painting these rooms.

Painting and decorating require a lot of effort, knowledge, and creativity. It is not an easy job to get inspired while renovating your house. A lot of homeowners decided to go for the help of an interior designer – which we highly recommend. Either way, if you are looking for decorating by yourself or will count on the expertise of a professional it is very important to know that wallpaper is always a great option to give a different look to your favorite room. The truth is wallpaper can make your master bathroom timelessly chic, your kids’ room incredible funny, your dining room extremely sophisticated or your living room more welcomed.

The heart of any home is often its kitchen, a place where meals are prepared, and memories are made. However, over time, even the most loved kitchens can begin to feel dated or worn. Before you consider a costly and time-consuming remodel, there’s a transformative solution that might just be the refresh your kitchen needs: cabinet painting.

A Cost-Effective Makeover

Cabinet painting stands out as an incredibly cost-effective way to give your kitchen a brand-new look without the hefty price tag of a full renovation. It’s a project that can dramatically change the appearance of your kitchen, breathing new life into the space with just a few coats of paint.

Choosing the Right Colors

Selecting the right color for your cabinets can be both exciting and daunting. The perfect shade can brighten up your kitchen and make it feel larger, or bring warmth and coziness to the space. Whether you’re drawn to sleek and modern whites and grays, or vibrant and bold hues, the color you choose will reflect your personal style and set the tone for your kitchen’s new look.

Professional Touch for Lasting Results

While DIY projects can be rewarding, cabinet painting is one where you might want to consider enlisting professional help. A professional painter can ensure a smooth, durable finish that stands up to the rigors of kitchen use, ensuring your cabinets look great for years to come.

The Impact of a Fresh Start

The impact of freshly painted cabinets extends beyond just aesthetics. It can revitalize your entire kitchen, making it a more enjoyable place to cook, entertain, and spend time with family. If you’re looking for a way to refresh your kitchen without breaking the bank, cabinet painting might just be the magical solution you’re searching for.

Wallpaper installation offers an unparalleled opportunity to transform any room into a statement of personal style and sophistication. This meticulous process, when executed correctly, can breathe new life into spaces, infusing them with color, texture, and pattern that paint alone cannot achieve. Understanding the nuances of wallpaper installation is key to achieving a flawless finish that delights the senses and stands the test of time.

Preparation is Paramount

Before the first strip of wallpaper is ever unrolled, thorough preparation of the walls is essential. This includes repairing any imperfections, ensuring the surface is smooth, and applying a primer if necessary. Proper preparation prevents issues like bubbling and peeling, ensuring the wallpaper adheres smoothly and uniformly.

Choosing the Right Wallpaper

The selection of wallpaper is about more than just aesthetics. Consider the room’s function, lighting, and the wallpaper’s material. Vinyl wallpapers, for example, are durable and ideal for high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens, while delicate materials might be better suited for bedrooms or living rooms.

The Installation Process

Installation requires precision and patience. Starting from a corner or behind a door, ensuring each strip is perfectly aligned with its neighbor is crucial for a seamless look. Overlapping slightly at the seams can help prevent gaps as the wallpaper settles and dries.

The Final Touch

After installation, a thorough inspection for any air bubbles or misalignments is necessary. A soft squeegee can smooth out imperfections, ensuring the wallpaper is firmly adhered and flawless.

Wallpaper installation is a transformative art that can dramatically change the look and feel of any room. With careful preparation, the right materials, and meticulous application, the result is a beautifully refreshed space that reflects your unique style and vision.

Commercial interior painting is more than a simple aesthetic update; it’s a strategic investment in the functionality and perception of your business environment. A well-executed paint job can transform mundane or aging interiors into vibrant, welcoming spaces that enhance productivity, customer satisfaction, and brand identity. This blog explores the key aspects of commercial interior painting and its profound impact on business spaces.

Understanding the Significance

The colors and quality of interior paint in a commercial setting play a critical role in influencing mood, energy levels, and the overall atmosphere. For instance, selecting the right shades can stimulate creativity in an advertising agency or evoke calm in a healthcare facility. Therefore, the choice of color and finish must align with the business’s goals and the space’s intended use.

Preparation and Professionalism

Unlike residential painting, commercial projects often involve larger spaces and require a higher level of coordination and expertise. Professional painters understand the importance of minimizing disruption to daily operations. They achieve this through efficient project management, flexible scheduling, and the use of fast-drying, low-odor paints to ensure business continuity.

Quality and Durability

In high-traffic commercial environments, durability is as important as aesthetics. High-quality paints and finishes are essential to withstand the wear and tear of daily operations. Professional commercial painters use products that resist fading, chipping, and staining, ensuring the interior remains pristine and vibrant for longer periods.

Reflecting Brand Identity

A commercial interior paint job is an opportunity to reinforce your brand identity. Colors that align with your brand can create a cohesive look throughout your space, making a strong visual statement to clients and employees alike. Professional painters can help translate your brand’s essence into your interior design, making every wall speak your business’s language.

Conclusion

Commercial interior painting offers a transformative potential for businesses looking to refresh their space, boost morale, and make a lasting impression. It requires thoughtful planning, professional execution, and an understanding of the unique needs of commercial spaces. By investing in high-quality painting services, businesses can enjoy a refreshed, durable, and brand-aligned environment that supports their objectives and growth.
