Is Paint the Most Underrated Transformational Design Tool? 

Painting is one of the most transformative tools a homeowner or renter has to upgrade their space. Furniture and accessories can take on a whole new life with the right backdrop—but fear of commitment and color overwhelm can hold some people back from making the change. 

The process of going to the store repeatedly, navigating a litany of product variations, and deciphering seemingly indistinguishable colors turns off many paint-curious people from moving forward with a potential vision. 

That’s why we partnered with Backdrop—a revolutionary paint company that simplifies the shopping process and empowers homeowners and renters with high-quality paint in designer colors—without the analysis paralysis or stress. Now you can pick out your perfect paint from the comfort of your home—then choose a trusted Tasker to do the actual painting. 

Backdrop paint is just as impactful in your space as a $10,000 sofa and as accessible as a $75 throw pillow. Start browsing colors and learn more about Backdrop

How To Make Painting Stress-Free 

  1. Consider your design goals. Think about the room in its totality and the type of aesthetic you’re going for. Once you have a starting point, decide whether you want to have a neutral base color or make the wall color more of a focal point with a brighter color. But remember—your walls can usually take more color than you might think! 

  1. Search for inspiration. Once you have a general idea of what you’re interested in, sites like Pinterest offer nearly limitless photos for inspiration! You can also look at inspiration directly on Backdrop’s site. Their gallery offers thousands of images of each paint color in real-life settings. 
     
  1. Sample your top color choices. Backdrop makes it easy to visualize what different colors might look like in your space. They offer 12×12” adhesive color swatches that are easy to peel on and off your wall and compare options commitment-free. 

  1. Commit to quality. You might be shopping between brands when choosing your paint color. Remember that quality makes a huge difference in your outcome! Look for durable paint with low volatile organic compounds (VOC) and easy application traits for an excellent result. 

  1. Just task. Once you have your paint color picked out, it’s a great time to pick out an Indoor Painting Tasker as well to make things as easy as possible. You could do it yourself, but you’ll save hours when you outsource to a skillful, local Tasker. Book a Tasker and use code BACKDROP25 for $25 off your next painting task.
