According to an article, "Paint Offers Inexpensive Way for Homeowners to Freshen and Update Their Homes" by Debbie Zimmer, paint is an ideal choice. Debbie says that by painting a few walls or simply updating the colors, you can inexpensively freshen your home. Here are three basic choices for Tulsa, OK homeowners who choose to paint:

1. Stick with Neutrals- Debbie says that many homeowners can opt for neutral colors. This keeps their options always open for a new color scheme or design by simply selecting different accessories in the room. It also helps avoid extra work or money spent remodeling when the color becomes out of date.
2. Calming Blues- These are called "Well-worn colors" and are in blue family whether that be denim to blue-gray. Blue is also a calming and peaceful color that is perfect for creating a "perfect retreat" from the day's stressful events.
3. Shine, Shine, Shine- High gloss and metallic colors are becoming more popular in parts of the home. They also reflect light and help to brighten a room.
   

No matter your color choice or your budget, do a little research before you choose. Take some time when selecting your colors and consider the items, such as furniture, that will be in the room you are painting. If you are unsure of the color, paint a small area of the wall first and give it a couple of days to a week.
