How often should I update or repaint my feature wall?
Short Answer
Feature walls can last for years, but you can refresh them anytime your style or space evolves—typically every 3–7 years depending on trends and paint quality.
Long Answer
There’s no hard rule on how often you should update your feature wall—it really depends on your personal preferences, evolving interior trends, and the condition of the paint over time. At Highlight Painting Service, we advise clients to consider updating their feature wall every 3 to 7 years, or whenever they feel their room needs a refresh.
High-quality paints, particularly those applied by professionals, can remain vibrant and durable for many years. However, factors like direct sunlight, high-traffic areas, and shifting interior trends may influence your decision to repaint. For example, if your feature wall colour no longer matches your décor or you're renovating another part of the home, it might be time for a change.
Seasonal trends and lifestyle changes can also inspire updates. You might want to switch from a bold hue to a more neutral tone to suit a new design direction, or explore textured or patterned finishes to modernise the space.
One of the greatest benefits of having a feature wall is the ease of updating it compared to repainting an entire room. It’s a low-cost, high-impact way to revitalise your space and stay current with interior trends. At Highlight Painting Service, we’re always happy to provide colour consultations and design advice to help you choose a feature wall that reflects your taste and complements your evolving style.
