With more daylight and blooming trees, Houston is a wonderful place to be during the spring season. At
Pro Painters, we've been inspired by the slight weather change and the burgeoning green, yellow, red, and pink tones. If you are in the mood to do some cleaning and home rejuvenation this month, we have just the color palette for you. Below, these earthy and fresh primary color options dazzle us.
Spotlights:
"Chivalry Copper" for the breakfast room or dining room.
"Supreme Green" would go nicely with a spring-themed bathroom.
"Sand Dune" or "Whole Wheat" make a nice background in the living or family rooms.
Inspired by the above palette, we searched high and low for the bathroom that best exemplifies a spring time look. The small and delicate bathroom fixtures and accessories below go nicely with a bright pattern of vertical stripes. Notice the cool blue and green sea tones. The white trim and thin white stripes in between the larger ones lend a clean aura to the room.
Matching Trim & Accessories:
We were amazed by how wonderfully the light slate walls, white trim, and robin's egg blue door harmonize (we made our own interpretations). The golden-yellow flowers on the throw pillow complete the set up. This just goes to show that trim paint makes all the difference if you are intent on freshening up your home surroundings. The lighter tones are also great to use if you have minimal space to work with.
Would you consider any of theses impressive-sounding paint colors for your home? Feel free to leave

Our third spring tip is our favorite. If you are lucky enough to have wooden floors (old ones!), we recommend trying this fun project in the kitchen. First, separate the floor boards into square sections of equal measurement. Second, pair a white or cream color with a contrasting, earthy color. Finally, go to work painting the square section of floor with the two colors. This "checkerboard" looks is fun and could be a great thing to do with the whole family.
Our final tip takes you outdoors into the beautiful sunshine and crisp air. Houstonians should take advantage of this while they still can! Drag the old patio furniture out of the garage, off the porch, or from their dusty spot in that antique store or second-hand shop and give them a once (or twice) over with spray paint. You would be amazed at the difference. The Aegean blue patio set, white stones, and lush greens make this setting picturesque for spring.
