Everything you need to know before painting the inside of your home.

Whether you're updating a single room or giving your entire home a fresh new look, interior painting can completely transform your space. Here are some of the questions we're asked most often.

What paint finish should I choose?

Choosing the right paint finish can make a big difference to both the appearance and durability of your home. Different areas often require different finishes, with low sheen being a popular choice for walls, while semi-gloss or gloss is commonly used on doors, trims and other high-wear surfaces.

We'll take the time to understand how each room is used and recommend the finish that will not only look its best but also suit your lifestyle and stand up to everyday wear. Our goal is to achieve a beautiful finish that you'll continue to enjoy for years to come.

Do I need to move my furniture?

We recommend removing smaller items, valuables and fragile belongings before work begins. Larger furniture can often be moved to the centre of the room and carefully protected with drop sheets. We'll discuss exactly what's required before your project starts so you know what to expect.

Can you paint over dark colours?

Yes. In most cases, dark colours can be painted over successfully with the correct preparation and the appropriate number of coats. The products used, colour change and existing surface condition all play a part in achieving a consistent, long-lasting finish.

How long should interior paint last?

A quality interior paint job can last for many years when the correct preparation, premium products and professional application are used. High-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens and children's bedrooms may require repainting sooner than other rooms due to everyday wear and tear.

Can I stay in my home while it's being painted?

In most cases, yes. Many homeowners continue living in their home while painting is underway. We'll work with you to minimise disruption, keep work areas tidy and discuss a schedule that suits your household wherever possible.
