New Year, New Hue!

The arrival of the new year often brings the urge for change—a fresh start, new resolutions, and an opportunity to breathe new life into the spaces we call home. But as winter sets in, it’s easy to feel like you need to put off any home improvement projects until the warm weather rolls back around. The days are shorter, the temperatures are colder, and the idea of tackling big renovations can feel overwhelming.

However, here’s a little secret: you don’t have to wait for spring to transform your home! A simple coat of paint in the right place can elevate your space without the need for major renovations. At The Color Bloc, we believe that changing the hue of a room, piece of furniture, or even cabinets can do wonders—making it feel like an entirely new space!

Whether it’s a bathroom refresh, a new color for your kitchen cabinets, or updating a dresser in your bedroom, these small projects can create a big impact. Plus, they can easily be tackled during the winter months when you’re hunkering down indoors. The beauty of painting is that you can completely transform a room in just a weekend, and you’ll love the results for years to come!

Why Should You Paint Now?

Winter is the perfect time for indoor projects. With fewer distractions, you're more likely to stay focused on finishing the job, and you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the refreshed look once you're done. Plus, paint has the unique ability to change the mood of any space—whether you want to create a cozy atmosphere, brighten up a dull corner, or give your space a more modern vibe. It’s one of the easiest and most affordable ways to upgrade your home, no matter the size of the area you’re working on.

Transform Hard-to-Paint Surfaces

At Benjamin Moore, we know that not every surface is easy to paint. But that shouldn’t stop you from tackling those hard-to-paint areas, especially when winter is the perfect time to get creative indoors!

If you’ve been eyeing your bathroom tiles, kitchen backsplash, or even those old ceramic surfaces, our Stix Waterborne Bonding Primer is here to help. This powerful primer is designed specifically for hard-to-paint surfaces like tiles, glass, metal, and laminate, ensuring that even the trickiest areas can be painted with ease. With Stix, you’ll enjoy smooth, durable results—no need to wait for a full renovation to refresh those high-traffic spaces.

For those with radiators or metal surfaces in need of a makeover, we also carry Ultra Spec HP DTM Acrylic Enamel, a top-notch direct-to-metal paint. This product is ideal for painting metal surfaces like radiators, providing a sleek finish that will hold up to the heat and look great in any room.
