Domestic interior painter and decorator services include;

Preparation for painting in a room

• remove any furniture to avoid the furniture being covered in paint
• fixtures to be covered where possible with sheets and use masking tape for edges
• check walls for cracks and holes that need filling in and then sand down
• start with a primer coat if needed before moving on to your choice of paint colour that suits the various rooms – remember light and cheery for a lounge and calming colours for a bedroom

Painting

• walls, using an emulsion water-based paint in either a matt or sheen finish
• a brush is used to cut the corners and then a roller will be used for the rest of the walls in the room, unless the decorator will be doing special painting technique finishes for you e.g.; a marble effect in your bathroom

Special painting techniques to discuss what will suit each room

• Strié, a French expression for streaking
• taped, using painters’ tape to create patterns
• colour wash, is a textured affect created by layering of two different colours
• sponging, with either an old sponge or a sponge roller
• rag rolling, adding a depth and giving a soft textured effect
• ombre style is a colour melting or fading into another for a watercolour dreamy affect
• metallic blocks perfect for a feature wall
• marble affect a much less expensive way to create the same look than installing real marble
• wall stencilling to achieve a look of wallpaper that’s rather painted onto the wall
• striping, harlequin, checkboard, polka dots all timeless classics that also can give a wallpapered feel

Do I need to get my rooms painted by a local painter & decorator?

Doing a few touch-ups here and there is more suited to D.I.Y. work than re-painting an entire room, including ceilings or even the entire inside of the house including tricky woodwork. Using a professional painter & decorating company, will see the team arrive with all the necessary equipment to carry out the work in the least disruptive manner, with sheets to protect all of your furnishings. They will be able to complete the task at hand, in a quicker time than if you try to do it yourself, as well as with the least mess.

Saving money on tradespeople is not always worth the intense stress created by trying to do it yourself when you do not have the same skill set and experience as hiring the professional.

What do painter & decorators painting rooms near me do?

A painter & decorator will not only splash on a new coat of paint but will advise you of which colours best suit the room, what sheen to go with, how to best furnish the room to compliment the paint

Painters and decorators painting a room will:

• Recommend: colours to enhance the space and create the mood you are after, e.g. a relaxing feel in a bedroom or a vibey dramatic lounge. They also discuss paint options from satin, matt or gloss which looks best in a hallway, and discuss painting techniques, perhaps a feature wall for a bit of drama in the dining room.
• Painting preparation: from filling in cracks, re-plastering sanding down for smooth surface to begin the painting. Removing any furnishings from the room, taping edges with masking tape, and moving furniture to the middle of the room to work around it, with dust sheets over protecting the furniture.
• Painting: adding a primer base layer if needed, before moving on to the painting which may involve paint brushes for the cutting in and rollers for the wider sections.
