Low Cost, High Impact
Paint, Your New Best Friend

SPRING HOUSE, Pa., July, 2008 - Nothing creates more immediate impact than a fresh coat of paint and in these challenging times, paint is overwhelmingly one of the best low cost options when infusing style in a living space.

Debbie Zimmer, paint and color expert with the Rohm and Haas Paint Quality Institute states, “By simply changing your wall, ceiling or trim color, rooms can go from boring to bright in just a matter of hours. Not many home improvement products can provide as much punch for the dollar.”

For a low cost, high impact style change, pull out the brushes and rollers and reinvigorate your home, one room at a time.

Zimmer’s Top Five Tips for A Quick and Inexpensive Style Change:

• A simple change of hue in any space refreshes and revitalizes while adding a sense of updated style.

• Large polka dots or other geometric patterns add instant impact to a child’s bedroom or play area.

• Not ready for a whole room redo? Change the trim or door color and the entire space will feel new.

• Highlight that new flat screen television by “framing” it with paint. Before hanging it on the wall, paint a rectangle large enough so a six-inch, colorful “frame” is exposed once the TV is in place.

• Create interest in a dining room by painting the ceiling with a glossy finish. Light from the chandelier will have extra sparkle.
