Interior

Choosing the right colours for indoors can be a bit overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be! Here is our advice on getting started.

Start with a neutral base: Neutral colours such as white, beige, or grey are a great starting point for your interiors. They are versatile and can serve as a blank canvas for you to add pops of colour later on.

Consider the natural light: The amount and direction of natural light in a room can greatly impact how a colour appears on the wall. Consider the way natural light enters the room and choose colours that will complement it.

Think about the mood you want to create: Different colours can evoke different moods. For example, warm colours like red and orange can create a cosy and inviting atmosphere, while cool colours like blue and green can create a calm and relaxing atmosphere.

Test the colours: Before committing to a colour, it’s a good idea to test it out first. You can do this by painting a small section of the wall or using a paint sample. This will give you a better idea of how the colour will look in the room.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match: Don’t be afraid to play around with different colours and textures. Mixing and matching different hues and shades can add depth and character to your space.

Remember, the most important thing is to choose colours that you love and that make you feel good in your space. It is also imperative you choose good quality paint, as this will make a difference with how the paint dries. Have fun with it and enjoy the process! As a Wattyl and Dulux painter, we can help you with this, ensuring you are not lost on the paradox of choice.

The time it takes for indoor paint to dry will depend on a number of factors, such as the type of paint being used, time of year, the temperature and humidity of the room and the number of coats applied.

For most types of indoor paint, the drying time is typically around 2-4 hours. This means that the paint will be dry to the touch and safe to walk on after this time. However, it’s important to note that the paint will not be fully cured and ready for normal use, such as hanging curtains or moving furniture, for at least 24 hours.

Oil-based paints can take longer to dry, sometimes going over 24 hours. Additionally, in high humidity or low temperature conditions, the paint might take longer to dry. Don’t worry, our interior house painters can give you guidance on this when preparing your quote.

No, we do not paint furnished interiors. There are several reasons why we do not offer this service:

1. Protection of Furniture and Belongings: Painting a furnished interior can pose a significant risk to the furniture and belongings within the space. Paint splatters or spills can damage upholstery, wood, and other surfaces. Removing all furniture from the area is often impractical for clients.

2. Incomplete Coverage: Painting around furniture can lead to incomplete coverage and uneven results. It's challenging to reach all the nooks and crannies when furniture is in place, resulting in a less professional finish.

3. Safety Concerns: Painting in a furnished space can be hazardous, as it increases the risk of tripping or knocking over objects, potentially causing injuries to the workers and damage to the client's belongings.

4. Limited Access: Painting behind large or heavy furniture can be difficult, leading to difficulties in reaching all areas of the room effectively. This can result in a subpar paint job.

5. Time and Efficiency: Painting around furniture can significantly slow down the painting process, making it less efficient and potentially more costly for the client.

6. Client Convenience: Clients often find it more convenient to have their furniture temporarily removed from the space to ensure a smooth and thorough painting job. This way, they can also protect their valuable belongings from potential damage.

In summary, for the best results and to ensure the safety and protection of your furnishings and belongings, we recommend clearing the area of furniture before we begin the painting process. This allows us to provide you with a high-quality, professional paint job that meets your expectation
