We can tailor our work according to your budget, because we can vary the level of services to meet your needs as well as your purse-strings.   Gold Level Service In an ideal world, we would always strip off any old wallpaper, line the walls and then paint them. With paintwork, we would apply two coats of undercoat, sand in between coats, and finish with a top coat. This combination provides the perfect finish which will last a long time. It also works well in the long-term, not only because it will last, but also because no extra work will be necessary whenever you want to change the colour. You’ll only need to repaint everything,

5 Inspirational Ideas for a Feature Wall   Are you fed up with your present décor? Have you thought about having something different in any of your rooms? You might like to think about having a feature wall - one that is not the same as the other three. There are many ways to provide a different look or feel to a room with a feature wall, and here are some ideas to inspire you.   1. Colour The simplest way of creating a feature, is to use a different colour on one of the walls. This is where the colour wheel would be useful to help you decide which colours you would like to use.

5 Top Tips for Painting the Outside of Your House   Spring is in the air and everything looks so much different when the sun is shining. Take the outside of your house, for example. In the grey of winter, it looked fine but now you might be starting to think that it needs a makeover to brighten it up.   1. Consider the weather Spring is the ideal time to think about painting the outside of your house as excessive rain and damp is being replaced by dry and sunny weather. It is not advisable to do any exterior painting when it is too cold or too wet. However, direct sunlight is not good either, so start on the shady side and move round the house as the sun moves round. To avoid any dampness while painting, stop two hours before sunset.   2. Preparation is key As with painting the inside

What to do before the painter and decorator arrives.   There are a few things that you can do before your painter and decorator comes to the house which will be of great help to them and ultimately to you.   Cleaning Before starting work, whatever room they are going to be doing first, it needs to be thoroughly cleaned. Vacuum everywhere to get rid of dust, dust-bunnies and any cobwebs throughout the house.   The paintwork including the windows, doors and skirting boards must be clean. If the kitchen is going to be painted, you need to make sure there isn’t any grease anywhere. Grease tends to cling, but it needs to be gone because it is paint’s number one enemy.   If the room to be decorated is the bathroom, be sure there isn’t any mould or mildew anywhere.   It will take more than normal cleaning to get rid of either of

We all have our favourite colours and colours that we prefer to have in certain areas of our homes, but how do we best create a complete colour scheme? If we are looking for harmony or some contrast, then the best tool we can use is the colour wheel. The first colour wheel was produced by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666. Since then, the basic colour wheel, which presents a sequence of pure hues arranged logically, has always been helpful.   Primary Colours A three-part colour wheel depicting the three primary colours is a good place to start. In traditional colour theory the primary colours of red, yellow, and blue can’t be formed by any combination of other colours. All other colours are derived from these three.   Secondary Colours By adding the secondary colours of green, orange and purple, we now have a six-part wheel. The three additional colours are produced by

"How Should I paint my ceiling? What colour should I use? What paint should I use?" Confused? Here are some tips from the painters and decorators in North London! Ceilings get stained by things like leaks, light bulbs, and smoke from real wood fires and cigarettes. Scrubbing and repainting doesn’t always work. Using an oil-based stain-block or damp-seal paint first can prevent the stain coming through. Decorating ceilings should be done first! When using oil-based paint on a ceiling, be sure to wear safety goggles in case the paint gets in your eyes. Your painters and decorators in North London prefer to use a roller with an extension pole rather than a ladder to paint the bulk of the ceiling as it is safer, but we do getup there for the finishing touches! The easiest paints to use on ceilings are semi-solid paints. These splatter and drip

There comes a certain point where your home starts to feel bland, and a change is needed. You might think that a complete renovation is needed, but all you need is to repaint! Here's a guide from your favourite Painters and Decorators in North London for interior painting.   It may be tempting to buy cheaper brands of paint, but it can work out being more expensive in time, money and effort than buying a quality brand, and making sure the surfaces are sealed. Poor quality paints won't  cover as well so you'll need more - that's why they are often in such large cans - and you may have to paint an extra coat or two to get a sufficient finish. Make sure you're stocked up on paint in the same colour and finish to complete the job. Paints are made in batches and there may be  slight

Feng Shui is basically an environmental science and its origins are simple. It is based on an interpretation of the natural world which enabled the Chinese to create efficient agricultural systems, and also the study of the movement of heavenly bodies in order to determine the passage of time. Over the centuries, the interpretation grew more complex and became removed from its original purpose. Present day North London and Enfield residence fail to even mention Feng Shui to us Painters and Decorators. Has it been lost? As its exponents spread out from China across the world, their beliefs altered to fit into local beliefs and customs and, inevitably, folklore and superstition grew up around them. Fortunately, the ancient Chinese preserved the information in written form. In essence, all societies retain the knowledge contained in Feng Shui, but it has become absorbed into different disciplines. In China

Summer is coming and for a lot of people, that means holidays are, too. If you’ve decided to use your Summer holiday to get things in order in your home, you might be contemplating painting. Exterior painting can be tricky but not impossible during the summer. Since you can’t control the weather, here are some tips for planning your summer paint job: 1. Paint in the early mornings or late evenings when the temperatures are cooler. 2.Don’t paint when it’s windy because dust and debris can stick to wet paint. 3. Don’t paint in direct sunlight. The quality of the paint job depends on surface temperature, not just the air. 4. Surface preparation is the most important in summer months. Somers painters recommend that surface prep should take as long as the paint job. 5. Avoid the hottest days. The heat can cause the paint to dry too quickly, ruining the

Tiny spaces aren't bad things - in fact, we love them here at Absolute Decorating Enfield! Finding room to function in such a small spot is not always so easy. The decorating rules that apply to other rooms go out the window when space is tight, and it takes major creativity to fit everything in. Here are some Painting and Decorating Tips to make the most of your Small Space. Steer clear of these common mistakes; Think horizontally, not vertically. Choose a vertical wardrobe instead of the typical horizontal dresser for your clothes, and take advantage of wall space with floating shelves. Since when are side tables just side tables? Invest in double-duty furniture and your small space will thank you. Propping your bed on risers is the easiest, cheapest way to free up storage space on the floor. Light hues create the illusion of more space, as do mirrors. If you need

Themes for painting and decorating in Enfield is changing - again! Dark, moody colours. Think navy, charcoal, hunter green, even aubergine. Big and bright is so last year. Colourful tiles.

This is especially true when it comes to remodeling. Leather. Beautifully textured and effortlessly cool, leather is big for 2015, especially when paired with modern shapes.

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.
