Nope! Our finishes dry smooth and beautifully flat — no bumps or ridges here. That means you can easily prime and paint over them anytime the spirit moves you toward a fresh new look.

Short answer? Not much!

We truly believe you can do this—and we’ve got your back. Our tutorials and resource library are packed with guidance to help you along every step of the way.

Great question—and you’re not alone! There are literally a billion wall colors out there, and half the time we have no idea what’s actually on our walls to begin with. But don’t stress—we’re here to help make it easy.

White is not a rule. In fact, some of the most creative, unexpected, and beautiful finishes start with a base coat of actual color.

Here are your two options:

1. Work with what you’ve got: Choose one of our colors that lives in the same color family as your current wall color, and go a bit lighter or darker to create depth and variation.
2. Start fresh: If you’re looking to brighten things up or do a full refresh, repainting with a new base color is the way to go. It gives you a clean slate and the best chance for a flawless finish.
