Winter is here, and while it may not seem like the ideal season for home improvements, it’s actually the perfect time for interior painting projects. In this guide, we’ll explore why winter is a great time for painting, what mistakes to avoid, and how NewLook Canadian Painting can help Calgary homeowners transform their spaces during the colder months.
- Why Winter is Perfect for Interior Painting
Many Calgary homeowners are surprised to learn that winter offers unique advantages for interior painting projects. Here’s why:
• Quieter Season for Contractors: With fewer exterior painting jobs in winter, professional painters have more availability, meaning you can schedule your project faster and more flexibly.
• Faster Drying Times Indoors: Heated indoor spaces create optimal conditions for paint to dry evenly and quickly, ensuring a smooth, flawless finish.
• Refresh Your Space: Winter is the ideal time to cozy up your home by choosing warm, inviting paint colours that complement the season and your décor.

- Choosing Winter-Friendly Paints
Selecting the right type of paint is essential during winter. Here’s what to look for:
• Low-VOC Paints: Improve indoor air quality while painting in enclosed spaces. Low-VOC (volatile organic compound) paints reduce strong odours and are safer for your family.
• Durable Finishes: Calgary’s dry winter air can affect paint durability. Choosing high-quality, durable finishes ensures your freshly painted walls withstand the season’s challenges.

- Common Winter Painting Mistakes to Avoid
Winter interior painting can be a breeze if you avoid these common pitfalls:
• Skipping Wall Preparation: Winter air can cause walls to dry out, leading to cracking. Always clean and prep your walls thoroughly before painting.
• Using Low-Quality Paints: Budget-friendly paints may not adhere well in heated indoor conditions, leaving you with subpar results.
• Overlooking Lighting: Winter’s limited natural light can affect how paint colors appear. Test your color choices under different lighting conditions.

- How to Protect Your Home During Winter Painting
To ensure a stress-free painting experience, take these precautions:
• Cover Floors and Furniture: Protect your home from spills by covering surfaces with drop cloths or plastic sheeting.
• Maintain Ventilation: Use fans or slightly open windows to prevent lingering paint fumes from building up.
• Choose Warm Tones: Create a cozy atmosphere by opting for warm colors that counter Calgary’s chilly winter feel, such as rich beiges, warm greys, or soft yellows.
