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: How long does paint last on concrete?

• <div><p>The type of paint you use on concrete influences how long it will last. Epoxy paint can last as long as 30 years and often comes with a warranty for at least 15 years. Another factor impacting the longevity of the paint is how much wear and tear the floors receive, such as heavy machinery or constant foot traffic, which can shorten the life span. </p></div>

Q: What do most painters charge hourly?

• <div><p>Most painters charge by the square footage of the project rather than an hourly rate. However, painters who do charge by the hour typically charge $20 to $60 per hour for a standard job.

Q: Is it okay to leave paint brushes in water overnight?

• <div><p>The only time that it's okay to leave a paintbrush in water overnight is when you're trying to remove dried-on paint. However, don't allow the bristles to rest on the bottom of the container. Remember that soaking it longer than necessary can damage the brush.</p></div>
