As temperatures outside dips, it's time to bring some warmth back into your home. Let’s cosy up for winter! Avoid the winter blues by adding pops of cheery colour to a room. A bright throw or a patterned pillow will do the trick Brightly coloured elements can also last into the spring and summer. With the days getting shorter, maximize what natural light is still available is a must. Hanging a big mirror on a empty stretch of wall will reflect light throughout the room. Although wooden flooring creates a sophisticated style statement year-round, you'll need to cosy them up for the cold Winter. A fluffy rug sets off a living room's main seating area and adds warmth and texture.

Primer comes before paint. Primer brings out the paint’s true colour. DON’T SKIP THIS PART! Paint like a pro. Use an edge pad for clean lines around doorframes, ceiling edges and corners so your walls look professional. Create a sticky situation. Paint won’t stick to the wall if you haven’t taken the time to prep. The surface must be clean, non-glossy and in good condition. Dry days make good painting days. Skip the wet and humid afternoon paint project and slow drying walls won’t wreck the rest of your day. Put your sandwich bags to work. Slip a small plastic bag over your doorknobs, handles and features as well as taping the edge to avoid getting paint in places it wasn’t meant to go. Out with the old. If the old paint on your wall is flaking off, it’s a good idea get it out of the way. Sand the surface smooth, prime and your new

Painting your kitchen walls is one of the quickest, and easiest ways to re-do a kitchen. Here are some tips from the friendliest painters and decorators in Enfield.   Tip #1: Colours can change Natural sunlight in the kitchen changes intensity throughout the day. Understanding the light patterns in your kitchen, and knowing what other colours will be going into the kitchen, is incredibly important. Tip #2: Select your paint colour at home Don't choose a paint colour from a sample sheet. Bring home actual paint testers that you can apply to your walls. Paint next to cabinetry, flooring, countertops and any fabrics you plan on using in the space.   Tip #3: Warm colours work There's a reason we see a lot of warm, earthy tones in the kitchen. Studies have shown that our appetites increase when we see red or orange colours. Pair cool tones with warm neutrals like a warm

If you have a small hallway that makes you feel limited, let me tell you - you are not alone. There is hope for you yet! By choosing the perfect paint for your small hallway, you can create a stylish, welcoming first impression – and make your space look bigger! Narrow hallways can appear wider by using a lighter colour paint. When choosing your colour scheme, consider not only the wall colour but also the colour for the trim. To ensure that the small hallway does not feel claustrophobic, choose colours for the door trim that recede, rather than stand out against the wall colours. The idea is to visually create a more spacious walkway. Soft grey and green has an unparalleled softness. Floating shelves keep a hallway neat and clutter-free, which will make it feel more spacious - it also adds personality to a plain wall.

A freshly painted wall may often look blotchy. The colour is the same all over, but the sheen isn't consistent. This usually occurs over cracks and holes you had patched with a filler. The fillers absorb the paint, making the surface look dull. When light hits these dull spots, they stick out like a sore thumb. A coat of primer is all it takes to eliminate the texture differences. Primer seals the patch so paint won't sink in and look dull. To match texture, prime with a roller, feathering out the edges. Choose a nap thickness to match the surrounding wall texture. If you’ve filled your wall previously and do not want to go through all the trouble of primer and the dull spot at the end, call in the professionals! We are a trusted Enfield based painting and decorating company with over 30 years experience. If you

Painting a home seems like a simple task: You choose a colour and start - but beyond colour, you’ll need to think about chemicals, environmental factors and sheen. If you’re painting a high-traffic area such as a hallway, it’s best to stick with a flat sheen. It’s easy to keep whatever is left in the tin on hand, and you can touch it up and blend it right in.   The paint job will look better and you’ll save money in the long run if you spend a little more to buy decent gear. If you’re going to paint at all, don’t buy the cheapest roller and brush. It will look better if you have quality equipment. If you have a bigger paint tray, you’ll spend less time filling it up. If you have a sturdier roller, you’ll spend less energy squeezing it out because it acts like a

Chipped paint? Sad looking windows? Rain-damaged panels? It may be time to invest in a little exterior painting to liven up the look of the outside of your home.   Slapping on some new, brightly coloured paint to your house exterior can add immediate appeal and value, as well as protection from the rain and other weathering. If your exterior has rotting wood or deteriorated window trim you need to replace it before the painting process begins. It’s better to spend a little extra time and money to fix problems that could get worse and cost more in the long run, and get full value out of the improvement. Your best bet in choosing colour is picking one similar to what you already have. This is an advantage as you will not have to apply too many coats to the exterior, therefore saving you money. If you plan on

Bold front doors are bursting onto the home scene. Bright colours are here to make a statement, and even homeowners in more traditional areas are embracing the trend. Painting a front door is like picking a necklace to go with your outfit. Bold colours show an adventurous side and give off that there is excitement within! The colour of your door can affect the feeling a visitor towards entering your house. This could be calmness, excitement, or possibly even fear (with a bad paint job!) If you want to paint your front door a bright colour, take the finish down a notch and opt for satin exterior paint. Consider your area’s style. You can be the first on the cul-de-sac to do something bold, but ask for input from your association if you have one.   If you would like a trusted professional to help you get the job done, call
