If you\u2019ve been putting off starting a new project, you\u2019re not alone. Winter\u2019s increasingly shorter days can make us feel like there\u2019s never enough time to start something new, let alone finish it. But with the arrival of spring and daylight savings, now\u2019s the time to shift your mindset, pick up that paint brush, and get to work. We\u2019re ready to put an end to putting things off and excited to share with you our professional tips for transforming your primary bedroom into the ultimate oasis.<\/p>\n

As with any renovation involving a fresh coat of paint, this process starts with a primer best suited to the job. In this instance, we chose KILZ 2\u00ae<\/sup> All-Purpose Interior and Exterior Primer<\/a> for its fast-drying, multi-surface, and stain-blocking technology, as well as its excellent adhesion, mildew resistance\u2014great for humidity-prone homes\u2014and sealing properties. Its ability to hide stains from rust, marker, water, and grease makes it a top choice among DIYers, and an ideal product for painting over any existing color you might have on your walls or cabinets.<\/p>\n

For the theme of our relaxing bedroom makeover, we chose \u2018minimalist serenity,\u2019 a purposeful contrast to the chaos often lurking outside our homes. To effectively renew the space, we painted the walls and window seat<\/a> with Tribute Eggshell Ultra Bright White TB-01<\/a>. This bright white paint achieves a peaceful elegance that\u2019s, at the same time, cozy and welcoming.<\/p>\n

To make the transformation from gray to vibrant white paint as seamless as possible, we were careful to prime thoroughly beforehand<\/a>, lessening the need for multiple coats and allowing our color to shine its truest. For time and convenience, we chose to use specialty paint applicators for wall corners and window edges.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once our walls were dry, we focused on elements of d\u00e9cor that would elevate the space. Our whimsical interior comes to life with subtle pops of warmth in the throw pillows, blankets, accent mirrors, and lamp bases, as well as neutral-toned furniture, which grounds the space. The black, four-poster, canopy bed frame is a beautiful accent piece and serves as the focal point of the room. An adjacent window seat provides a cozy sitting nook, and a perfect place for unwinding with a book or cup of tea before bedtime.<\/p>\n

Transforming an ordinary bedroom into a personal haven is easy to do with the right tools and intention. For a room that feels clean, bright, and tranquil, we recommend neutral tones paired with minimalist d\u00e9cor, but your taste may vary. Gorgeous color that catches your eye and draws you into the space is the first step in achieving a room\u2019s vibe, which is why it is so important to prime up top and cut out any surprises where extra time or money are concerned.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We hope our bedroom renewal motivates you to start on a makeover of your own. Once you see just how simple KILZ 2\u00ae<\/sup> All-Purpose Interior and Exterior Primer makes it to lay the foundation for your project, you can have\u00a0 confidence to start and <\/em>finish quickly. And with that extra time on your hands, you can begin tackling even more things on your to-do list.<\/p>\n
