A fresh coat of paint can completely change the look and feel of a home or office. But to keep that new look lasting for years, maintenance is key. With the right care, your walls can stay vibrant and damage-free far longer than you’d expect.
1. Dust and Clean Regularly
Walls collect dust just like furniture. Gently wipe them with a microfiber cloth or sponge every few weeks to prevent buildup. For spots or stains, use mild soap and water instead of harsh cleaners that can damage paint.
2. Protect Against Moisture
Water damage is the enemy of painted surfaces. Keep an eye out for leaks around windows, roofs, or plumbing. Addressing issues early prevents bubbling, peeling, or discoloration.
3. Be Careful with Furniture
Scratches and scuffs often come from moving furniture or everyday contact. Use felt pads on the back of chairs and tables to avoid scraping paint when shifting items.
4. Touch Up When Needed
Save a small container of leftover paint for touch-ups. When you notice small chips or scratches, a quick touch-up keeps the wall looking fresh without a full repaint.
5. Repaint on Schedule
Even with proper care, most interiors need repainting every 5–7 years. High-traffic areas like hallways or kitchens may need it sooner, while bedrooms and offices may last longer.
