Home Interior Design Changes Over 30 Years

The PW Asks: What have you seen change the most since you began in the painting business?

The Painter Says: Styles have come full circle in the past 30 years from dark woodwork which used to be mainly oak, to the current design statement of accenting rooms with different wood species and different finishes. Rooms are individually accented with wood trim and cabinetry in different shades the way pieces of clothing are accessorized. We see a variety of woods being used in homes such as Cherry, Alder, Maple and Walnut. We also see a paintable grade of wood trim used such as Poplar, Maple, Birch or pre-primed substrates. And wood tones are mixed, for example, a light crown piece around a darker cabinet.
