Pre-Christmas Touch-Ups: Small Projects with a Big Impact!

Pre-Christmas Touch-Ups: Small Projects with a Big Impact!

The festive season is just around the corner, and we all know what that means: family gatherings, delicious dinners, and plenty of time spent at home with loved ones. With guests coming and going, your home deserves to look its best—and a little paint can go a long way in refreshing your space just in time for Christmas. 

Whether it’s scuffed walls in the kitchen, moisture marks in the bathroom, or a tired accent wall in the living room, now is the perfect time to give your home a quick and easy facelift. The best part? You don’t need to tackle a full renovation. With our smaller pots, you can effortlessly touch up key areas, leaving your home looking fresh and festive. Here’s how to spruce up three important rooms before the rush! 

1. The Kitchen: Freshen Up High-Traffic Areas

Your kitchen is the heart of the home, especially during the festive season. From family meals to festive baking, it’s the room that sees the most action. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the rooms most prone to wear and tear. Those little scrapes and stains around cabinets, doors, and cooking areas can dull the space. 

Our trim finishes come in various sizes, including 250ml and 500ml size pots, and are perfect for quick touch-ups around the kitchen. Whether it’s a small scuff behind the stove or around the sink, a little dab of paint can instantly revitalize your space. Consider touching up the cabinets with a satin finish for that gentle sheen or refreshing your kitchen island with a durable gloss to keep it looking festive and pristine throughout the season.

2. The Bathroom: Refresh High-Humidity Areas

The bathroom is another space that can benefit from a pre-Christmas refresh. With the constant exposure to moisture, you might notice areas around the shower or near the sink that could use a quick touch-up. A few marks or water stains can easily be addressed with the right paint, and our smaller-sized pots make this an easy project to tackle without the need for large amounts of paint. 

Choose a mold-resistant finish, like our premium gloss or soft sheen, for bathroom touch-ups. These finishes provide both durability and a sleek, smooth look, perfect for high-humidity areas. Just grab one of our smaller-sized pots, and you’ll be able to freshen up your bathroom cupboards and make them look like new in no time!

3. The Living Room: Brighten Up Your Gathering Space

The living room is where the magic of Christmas happens. It’s where your tree will glow, where the family gathers to exchange gifts, and where the warmth of the season truly comes alive. If your living room walls are looking a little tired or if you’ve been eyeing a new accent wall colour to enhance your holiday décor, now’s the perfect time for a touch-up. 

Our 1L and 3L are just the right size to tackle small areas in the living room, like around the fireplace, near seating areas, or to give a tired accent wall a fresh coat. Opt for an interior matt finish for a soft, elegant look, perfect for the Christmas season.

Touch-Up Tips for the Best Results: 

• Prep Your Surface: Before touching up, make sure the surface is clean and free of dirt or grease. Lightly sand any uneven areas for a smooth finish. 

• Blend Your Paint: When touching up, feather the edges of the new paint with the old paint to blend seamlessly and avoid any visible lines. 

• Use the Right Finish: Match the finish of your touch-up paint with the existing wall for a cohesive look—whether it’s matte, soft sheen, or ceramic.
