Summer is an optimal season for interior painting. Why summer? The warm conditions — between 50 and 90 degrees — create a good environment for paint to adhere and cure properly. With windows open for ventilation and longer daylight hours, you’ll get the best results and the most accurate color selection experience.

Try Before You Commit
Want to ensure you choose the perfect paint color for your home? The best approach is to sample colors first. PaintNew+ offers convenient sample sizes so you can test different shades in your actual space. Summer’s extended daylight hours offer the best conditions for color selection, helping you see colors in their truest form and understand how they change throughout the day.

The Power of Light
Lighting plays a crucial role in how paint colors appear. During summer, take advantage of the bright natural light to evaluate your sample colors during different times of day – morning sunlight, afternoon brightness, and evening artificial lighting can all affect how a color looks in your space. Remember that bright sunlight can make colors appear lighter, so consider how the seasons will affect your color choice.

Tips for Trim, Ceilings, and Doors
For a cohesive look, consider using the same white shade across your trim, ceiling, and interior doors. The magic is in the finish – different sheens such as flat, eggshell, and semi-gloss can create subtle but effective contrast throughout your space. When it comes to shades of white, our design experts recommend:

  • Bright white for a crisp, modern aesthetic
  • Soft white for a warmer, more subtle look
  • Pure white for maximizing light reflection
  • Cream white for adding warmth without yellow undertones

With varying sheen levels, these versatile whites can transform your space while maintaining a polished look. Our professional painters can help you choose the perfect combination for your home’s unique lighting and style.
