The holiday season is right around the corner, which means family dinners, festive gatherings, and plenty of house guests.
But here’s the truth: nothing makes a home feel fresher and more inviting than a new coat of paint — especially before friends and family walk through the door.
Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s celebrations, now is the perfect time to transform your home’s interior and create a cozy, welcoming space.
Best of all? With Klappenberger & Son, you don’t have to lift a finger — or a paintbrush!
Why Fall is the Best Time for Interior Painting
As cooler weather rolls in and exterior painting projects slow down, it’s the ideal time to focus on the inside of your home.
Here’s why autumn is the perfect season for an interior refresh:
- Perfect Drying Conditions: Mild temperatures and lower humidity allow paint to cure evenly.
- Holiday Hosting: Get your home guest-ready before the rush of the season.
- Contractor Availability: Exterior work wraps up, so experienced crews are ready to focus on your project.
Tip: Book early! Once November hits, schedules fill quickly with last-minute holiday prep jobs.

5. Statement Accent Walls
Not ready for a full room repaint?
Weathered shiplap siding behind a bed can give a room the interest it needs to please your guest.
An accent wall behind a sofa, bed, or fireplace creates a stunning focal point with minimal disruption.
6. Bathroom Touch-Ups
Your powder room gets plenty of traffic during holiday parties.
Freshen up walls or trim with durable, easy-to-clean paint in a calming color.
7. Hallway Refresh
Hallways are often overlooked, yet they see heavy foot traffic.
Light, reflective shades can open up the space and hide scuff marks.
8. Living Room Cozy Colors
Make your living room the perfect gathering spot with warm tones like sage green, taupe, or terracotta.
