Interior painters & decorators to transform your home

An interior designer is all about making a space look amazing with the bigger picture in mind –colour scheme, furniture, and how the space can best be used, including layout, flow and safety. Interior decorators? They’re the ones who bring the design of a room to fruition with the aesthetic implementation of colours with paint, wallpapering and decorative elements.

When painting a room, it’s important to follow a systematic approach for optimal results. We’d recommend painting the ceiling first to prevent any accidental drips or splatters on the freshly painted walls. Using a roller on an extension pole will help provide efficient coverage. After the ceiling has dried, move on to painting the walls using a roller for the main areas and a brush for corners and details. Once the interior walls are dry, shift your focus to the finer details by painting the baseboards, window frames, door frames, and other trim using a smaller precision brush.

Ever thought about how a simple tin of paint, a brush and a roller can refresh a room you’ve been neglecting? Here are a few ways you can modernise your home interior with a splash of paint:

• Utilising Dark/Rich Hues – Invest in your space with deep, rich colours like navy blue and forest green. An accent wall or room painted in these hues can add a cosiness that provides a modern touch. The contrast with other elements in the room will create depth, transforming it into a stylish and contemporary space.
• Two Tone and Bold Accent Walls – Incorporating a two-tone colour scheme or a bold accent wall is an innovative approach to modernise and add some personality to your room. Choose complementary or contrasting colours to highlight specific areas, such as a striking backdrop for a focal point like a fireplace or a piece of artwork. This technique adds an element of style, instantly revitalising the room’s overall appearance.
• Tonal Wall Decor & Furniture Painting – Enhance your interior design by extending your paint transformation to wall decor and furniture. Painting shelves, bookcases, or built-in units in the same colour as the walls creates a seamless, integrated look. Similarly, refreshing old or mismatched furniture with a consistent paint colour will bring together various design elements for a modern look.

Similar to painting interior walls, first gather your supplies and paint (opt for semi-gloss or gloss finish). Things to remember include brushes, mini rollers, painter’s tape, drop cloths, sandpaper, a screwdriver, a doorstop, and of course, your paint of choice. Begin by removing the door from its hinges, placing it on a stable surface, and protecting the area with drop cloths. Clean and lightly sand the door, remove or tape off hardware, and consider priming if needed. Paint the edges and any grooves on the door with a brush, then use a mini roller for the flat areas, following the wood grain. Let the first coat dry, apply a second coat if necessary, and reattach hardware. Finally, rehang the door and inspect for touch-ups.
