27 May Hispanic Homeowners Are Confident When Making a Bold Impression with Paint

Sherwin-Williams’ fifth annual National Painting Week or, as we like to call it, Semana Anual Nacional de Pintura is in full swing and homes and communities across North America are being splashed with bold and colorful news looks.

According to a new survey conducted by Nielsen on behalf of Sherwin-Williams, the timing for National Painting Week couldn’t be better. Nearly 70% of homeowners surveyed said they plan to take on a painting project in the next 12 months, and 73% state there is a positive emotional impact after painting a space.

Sherwin-Williams is making it easy for homeowners to follow through on their plans with a National Painting Week sale and by helping them find the right colors, paint and tools.

Survey reveals homeowner sentiment for projects
The Sherwin-Williams National Painting Week survey conducted by Nielsen revealed insights into homeowners’ mind-sets when it comes to painting projects and future plans, notably showing that most homeowners (69%) are planning to paint an area in their home in the next 12 months.

Among key findings from the survey include:

•    More than two thirds of Hispanic homeowners (68%) are very confident when considering a painting project, compared to 59% non-Hispanics.
•    When asked how best to make a room stand out, over half of respondents (57%) chose painting an accent color on one wall.
•    Pinterest and other online sources where identified (47%) by Hispanic homeowners as sources for ideas and inspiration when selecting paint colors.
