The new owner can paint the walls after we die.

Paint it if you want to "jazz it up" a bit. Builder's standard paint looks like an "almond colored paint bomb" exploded within the house; everything, walls, ceiling and trim is the same cheap super-flat almond colored paint. You would be amazed at how much better a room looks with a durable eggshell on the walls and true-white ceilings. Really "pops"!

Repainting
As long as it's clean, you still like the color, there is no damage from leaks or pets no noticeable fading from windows there is no time table on interior painting.

I am a painter with my husband in The Villages. There is no set time of when you should repaint. Most people do it if the walls are looking worn from Kids. pets, fingerprints...but mostly when they want a fresh look with an updated color.

If the paint is in good condition and you are pleased, you can wait. Washing the walls can improve the looks and the cleanliness at little cost.

Yes, they're more expensive than painting, but it saves me the torture of comparing eleventyseven shades of the SAME COLOR, trying to decide which is the best one...

I painted when we moved into our first home and sold it 24 years later having never repainted the interior. With touch ups with left over original paint it still looked new and we loved our walls! We’ve lived in our current home and the paint done at move in is the same paint at 19 years. I had the interior done by a decorator throughout. If I changed on room it would through the harmony of blended colors off, with touch ups with original paint, I’m not planning on repainting any time soon! I know others would look at it as “dated” since it isn’t grey walls and carpet as they seem to like today but it is pleasing to us!

you paint the interior when it looks to you like it needs to be repainted, either because of scuffs, fading, hand prints, or you are just plain sick of that color.
You aren't going to cause any structural deterioration of your interior walls by not painting. |

Every single room in my house is the same shade of beige. I hate beige. With the seething burning fire of a thousand suns. A nice pale grey, or a non-yellowish off-white, and the trim around the doors and the ceiling could be any coordinating hue - from stark white to rusty brown-red - no blues though. Not a fan of blue. Or green - hubby doesn't like green. Or heck, let's go rogue and have each room a different set of colors. Just anything other than beige. |
