How Often Should You Repaint Your Home? A Room-by-Room Guide
The Lifespan of Paint in Different Areas of Your Home
Not all rooms need repainting at the same frequency. Here's a breakdown of when to refresh your paint:
- Living Rooms & Bedrooms: Every 5-7 years (low traffic areas)
- Kitchens & Bathrooms: Every 3-4 years (due to moisture and grease)
- Hallways & Entryways: Every 2-3 years (high traffic areas)
- Exterior Surfaces: Every 5-10 years (depending on climate)
Signs It's Time to Repaint
Watch for these indicators:
- Fading or discoloration
- Peeling or cracking paint
- Visible stains that won't clean off
- Outdated color schemes
Pro Tip:
Using high-quality paint can extend these timeframes significantly. Consult with a professional painter to assess your specific needs.
