From Summer Brights to Autumn Warmth: Seasonal Painting & Decorating Tips
As the long summer days fade and cooler evenings set in, many homeowners look to refresh their interiors to match the change in seasons. Light, airy colours that worked in July may feel a little cold in October. At PM Painters & Decorators, we help clients across Hertfordshire and North London transition their homes beautifully from summer brights to cosy autumn tones.
🍂 1. Swap Light Shades for Warmer Tones
Summer whites and pastels are great for sunny weather, but in autumn and winter, deeper colours help create warmth. Consider earthy neutrals, warm greys, terracotta, or rich jewel tones like emerald and navy.
💡 2. Add Feature Walls for Depth
If you’re not ready to repaint an entire room, a feature wall is an easy way to add seasonal colour. A bold accent wall in the living room or bedroom can instantly make your space feel more inviting.
🖌️ 3. Update Woodwork and Trim
Don’t forget doors, skirting boards, and window frames. Freshly painted woodwork in satin or eggshell gives your rooms a crisp, finished look that pairs perfectly with autumnal wall colours.
🕯️ 4. Use Paint to Enhance Cosy Lighting
Matt finishes work beautifully in the colder months because they diffuse light softly. Combine this with warm-toned bulbs and lamps to create a snug, welcoming atmosphere.
🏠 5. Protect Walls for Winter Wear & Tear
With wetter weather comes muddy shoes, damp coats, and more time spent indoors. Durable, washable paints are ideal for hallways, kitchens, and high-traffic areas during autumn and winter.
