How often do you change interior paint colors? I have my colors 5 years now and actually still like them but am thinking of making a change.

I love white walls, except in the kitchen.........too much glare there with the bright sun, the windows, and the West exposure. White stays fresh and bright for many more years, in our house.

p.s. Every house and person is different. Depends on the natural lighting, etc.

Never

I generally don't change a paint color withou changing something else too. Like a new piece of furniture, for example.

Every 10 years or so. Sometimes because it needs it, sometimes because I am redoing the entire room.

change - never. freshen up - occasionally.

i love neutral colors and all of my walls are various shades of one color. it's my base color. even when i change the furniture in the room i never have to/want to wonder ""if it will go with"" the walls and will i need to repaint to make it work. one color i custom mixed myself with leftover paint - it was for the fireplace. i painted it a wee bit darker than the two walls on each side to make it ""pop out"" from them a bit.

It depends. I have finally found my holy grail of paint colors, so I'm sticking with them for a while.

I bought my house 4 years ago and I've painted the kitchen 4 times.

I've painted the other rooms twice.

I think I'm satisfied for now..... for another year or so probably.

Last time I painted was 2006. I am ready. Been looking into greys for main entry way and parlor.
