Q: What is the best paint color for a closet?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-best-paint-color-your-closet.htm">The best closet paint colors</a> will help make it easier to get dressed. Cool, contrasting whites make all of your clothing items pop and help you feel like you have a more organized closet by creating a crisp, clean background. For a more luxurious feel, jewel-toned paints like emerald or ruby can have a widening effect, making your closet appear larger and deeper. Satin finishes are less likely to show scuffs and streaks than semi-gloss paints, making them ideal for closets. </p></div>

Q: Can you German smear over painted brick?

• <div><p>A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance&mdash;so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best interior paint color to sell a house?

• <div><p>Using a neutral paint palette is the best way to help your house appeal to a wide range of buyers. Think beyond bright whites and overexposed grays, though&mdash;taupes, ivories, and off-whites can add visual interest without looking too stark.</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: 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>
