Closets are one of the most underrated features of the average home, and it\u2019s easy to overlook them when it comes to interior design, which we think is a big shame. After all, you use your closet everyday, and we bet that you\u2019d be very surprised if you were to add up the amount of time you spend staring into it as you decide what to wear for the day.

\nSo with that, why not give it the same attention as the rest of your home and take your closet up a notch by giving it that \u201cpersonal touch?\u201d One of the most simple and affordable ways to do this is with a coat of paint. The only hard part is deciding what colour of paint you want to use!
\nFortunately, we\u2019re here with a handy list of things to consider that will hopefully make your decision easy.
\nNeutrals<\/strong>
\nSticking to neutrals when painting your closet is the safest bet for a few reasons. Firstly, neutrals are likely to be much more timeless meaning that you won\u2019t have to worry about repainting over that \u201ctangerine orange\u201d that was so popular last season when you go to sell your house ten years from now.
\nAlso, remember that the clothes and contents that you\u2019re going to store in the closet are likely to be a variety of different colours. Displaying them on a neutral backdrop will make the things inside your closet more visually appealing, and easier to see.
\nColours That Pop<\/strong>
\nOn the other hand, if you want to be a bit more daring, a small space like a closet can be a great way to experiment with louder colours without having to commit to painting your entire room \u201cpassion pink\u201d or \u201celectric lemon.\u201d
\nLight and bright<\/strong>
\nIn general, whether you opt for a neutral or a colour with some fun flare, we recommend sticking to shades on the lighter and brighter end of the spectrum. This is especially true for smaller closets, since light colours give the illusion of larger spaces. As well, if you\u2019re closet is dimly lit, a dark coating of paint will make it almost impossible to find what you\u2019re looking for without using a flashlight.
\nThe Finish<\/strong>
\nWhen it comes to the paint finish for your closet\u2019s interior, it\u2019s really a matter of personal preference. Many people opt to match the finish of their bedroom walls by choosing a flat or semi-gloss paint. On the other hand, something like a satin finish is better at hiding scuffs, streaks and stains. This can be ideal for a closet space where you\u2019re regularly pulling things in and out.
\nRemember, at the end of the day, the best part about paint is that if you ever change your mind, you can always cover it with another coat in a different colour!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
