Q: What are good paint colors for farmhouse accent walls?

• <div><p>When it comes to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/accent-wall-ideas.htm">accent walls</a> in farmhouse decor, several paint colors can work well to create a focal point and add visual interest to the space. Some excellent choices for farmhouse accent walls include warm and earthy tones, muted blues and greens, and weathered grays. Warm browns can create a rich, cozy backdrop, while brick reds can recreate the look and feel of an antique barn, pairing well with distressed woods and galvanized steel.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint latex over acrylic?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s fine to paint over acrylic paint with latex paint as long as the surface is properly prepped. If your paint surface isn&rsquo;t glossy, you should be able to apply your paint or primer directly to it. If your acrylic surface is glossy, rough up the surface with some sandpaper first and use a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">good primer</a> to ensure proper adhesion for your latex paint.</p></div>

Q: Can I use different paint finishes in one room?

• <div><p>Using different finishes within a room is the norm. For example, you might use eggshell on the walls, semi-gloss on the trim and doors, and flat on the ceiling. This creates contrast and highlights architectural details while allowing for better durability in high-touch areas. Just make sure to use a trim color that complements your walls.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to remove all exterior paint before repainting?

• <div><p>There are times when you should remove all exterior paint before repainting. This includes when you need to get rid of lead-based paint (which should be done by a pro), or if you need to apply a different finish than what&rsquo;s already there. Your house may also have too many pre-existing layers of old paint, in which case you&rsquo;ll be better off getting rid of the old layers first.</p></div>

Q: Why is my paint patchy after multiple coats?

• <div><p>Patchy paint can be caused by not using enough paint on the roller, applying the paint thicker in some areas than others, or repeatedly rolling over the same spot before a previous layer has dried. To ensure an even finish, use enough paint on the roller for full coverage, apply paint evenly without overlapping, and let each coat dry before applying the next one.</p></div>
