Painting Guide for Home Renovations in Ottawa
Painting is one of the most cost-effective ways to transform a space during renovations in Ottawa—boosting mood, freshness, and resale value (often 100%+ ROI). Trends shift toward warm, earthy neutrals, moody jewel tones, and cozy browns/plums for comfort in our long winters. Low-VOC paints (e.g., Benjamin Moore Natura, Behr Premium) are standard for health and sustainability.
