Shifting Paint Priorities: More Than Just Walls
Surprise, surprise! It seems homeowners are finally dropping the obsession with just splashing color onto any old wall. The 2027 FrogTape® Paint Project Index is throwing all that into a vibrant bucket of fresh ideas.
Beyond the Basics
We're seeing the rise of painting projects that stretch far beyond the standard four walls. It's about bold trims, colorful ceilings, and breathing life into those often ignored nooks and crannies.
“Homeowners are finding more ways to make a painting project feel personal,” notes Melanie Canning, FrogTape®'s point person on trends. It's personalization time, guys!
The Painting Passion Evolves
Traditional projects aren't disappearing into the ether, mind you. They're still hanging on, like that annoying wallpaper you can't quite get rid of. Over half of homeowners (57%) have accomplished the once-trendy accent wall and 49% have taken their brushes to the ceiling.
But get this—trim features are fast becoming the hot ticket. In fact, 54% of folks are itching to brush up their trim and architectural details in the next 12 months, beating out previous numbers. A small wave with a big splash, they say—a transformation without the wall-to-wall commitment.
Impactful Spaces
The paint revolution is sneaking into smaller spaces too. Rooms that once whispered 'meh' are now screaming with personality, especially those like powder rooms and laundry nooks. A whopping 42% of homeowners are up for this small-yet-significant change.
See, 60% reckon bold colors turn functional spaces into eye-catching features. Whether it's the laundry room or a cozy corner, these spaces are saying, “notice me!”
Ceilings, Cabinets, and Creativity
And how about the ceilings? Gone are the days when beige was the only thing keeping ceilings out of sight. Next year, 27% are looking to make ceilings pop with surprising colors.
Meanwhile, kitchen cabinets and beloved built-ins are getting a refresh. Nearly half (45%) have already painted cabinets or built-ins, while 37% eye this as their next venture.
Pushing Painting Techniques
Now, for those who think just slapping paint is enough, think again! The technique is getting fancier with painter's tape doing more than holding things together. FrogTape's cutting-edge tape ensures those lines are crisp as morning frost. In fact, 97% of paint projects have involved this essential toolkit hero. Homeowners are using it more liberally than a butter knife on toast.
There's a catch though. Only 21% are strutting confidently into complex projects, trying to achieve that seamless professional look. But hey, FrogTape Advanced™ might just be the ace up their sleeve.
FrogTape, with its PaintBlock® technology ain't just talk. It seals the edges so beautifully, you'll catch yourself admiring the lines as much as the color.
