New Research Identifies the Next Wave of Home Painting Projects
The study says 60% of homeowners used or plan to use a recent project, with bold paint colors and smaller-space updates gaining ground.
- The 2027 FrogTape Paint Project Index identifies a significant shift in home design, as homeowners increasingly view every room element—from architectural details to ceilings and small spaces—as a design opportunity.
- Nearly 42% of homeowners plan to transform small, overlooked spaces like laundry rooms and powder rooms with bold paint in the next year, as 60% say vibrant color turns purely functional areas into high-impact design features.
- Colorful trim and doors top project lists at 54%, yet precision remains challenging; 97% of DIYers use painter's tape, while only 21% feel completely confident achieving professional-looking lines on complex designs.
- Homeowners are also refreshing cabinets and built-ins to personalize their kitchens without full renovations, with 43% citing creativity as motivation and 25% seeking to save money versus hiring contractors.
- "Making a painting project feel personal goes well beyond choosing wall color," said Melanie Canning, director of Insights for FrogTape, as 31% of homeowners cite refreshing room energy without painting entire walls.
