Assess the overall condition of your walls, looking for signs of wear and tear, such as peeling paint, stains, or scuffs. If these are present, it's time for a fresh coat of paint.
'Aside from the passage of time, there are telltale signs that indicate your walls are ready for a makeover,' says Nathan Mason, owner of Your Local Painters.
'Faded or discolored paint: Paint naturally fades over time, making walls appear dull and lifeless.
'Scuffs, marks, and stains: These blemishes detract from the overall appearance of your walls.
'Bubbling or peeling paint: This indicates moisture issues that require immediate attention.
'Chalky or powdery finish: This suggests that the paint is nearing its end and needs to be replaced.'
