How often should you repaint interior walls?
The frequency with which you should repaint your interior walls largely depends on several factors, such as the quality of the initial painting job, the amount of natural sunlight exposure in the room, and the type of activities taking place. Some general guidelines to follow when considering repainting interior walls are:
-
High-traffic areas such as hallways, living rooms, and kitchens might require repainting every three to four years, while low-traffic areas like bedrooms and dining rooms may require repainting every five to six years.
-
If you notice signs of wear and tear, such as cracks, holes, or peeling paint, it's time to consider repainting regardless of how long it has been since you last painted.
-
If you move your furniture or artwork often, it's likely that the interior walls will become scuffed. Reviewing paint whenever you move the furniture or once every few years is a good rule of thumb.
Ultimately, the decision to repaint interior walls comes down to how comfortable you are with the present look of the walls and if there are signs of damage or excessive wear.
