Painting a room is an easy way to add visual appeal. When you work from a spare bedroom or a cloffice, a new wall paint color can quickly elevate your space.

Before you begin, it’s a good idea to repair small cracks or holes with spackle. Then, use sandpaper over the repaired spots. If your new paint color is lighter than the existing one, a coat of Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Primer will help prevent the dark shade from showing through the new color. Once your walls are prepped, you’re ready to apply Rust-Oleum wall paint.

Let the paint dry for 24 hours before hanging décor to put the finishing touches on your updated home office.
