"For example, he had to paint his dining room three times before it became the signature dark green stunner it is today. Alex's dining room boasts a bay window on the left-hand side, which sold him on his home, and because the room gets gorgeous natural light, adding a darker color to the walls, ceiling, and trim around didn't make the living room feel too dark. In fact, it's one of his favorite elements in his home."
"Alex selected a forest green ( Benjamin Moore's Vintage Vogue) and shared his advice for painting an entire room on Instagram - after all, he's done it several times in this room alone. First, take time to prep the entire room for paint at the beginning, like patching, moving furniture, and taking off your outlet covers. Don't do it wall to wall as you go. "You won't be interrupted by having to move another table or tape another wall," he says."
A recently moved-into home, especially a rental, can take at least a year to feel like a personal space. A dining room required three paint attempts to reach a signature dark green; a bay window and abundant natural light allowed dark walls, ceiling, and trim without making the room feel too dark. Color-drenching employed a forest green (Benjamin Moore Vintage Vogue). Key steps include prepping the entire room before painting—patching, moving furniture, and removing outlet covers—cutting in corners and the ceiling first for precision, and buying more paint than estimated to maintain flow and allow touch-ups. Wall-to-wall shelving maximizes the space.
