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!

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

Kitchen and bathroom renovations often offer the highest rate of return in the home, but you don’t need a total overhaul to make these rooms look more attractive. Old plumbing fixtures can make a room feel dated. By merely replacing faucets and knobs you can make the kitchen feel more modern for the cost of a few hundred dollars. Of course, you can replace more than just the plumbing fixtures. Door knobs, light switch plates, wall outlet covers and light fixtures can also be updated to give your home a fresh look. If your home is on the smaller side, you’ll want to improve your storage options to make the place feel more spacious. To start with, if you haven’t moved out yet, don’t let your own clutter make the place feel cramped. House hunters will want to see what their storage options are before they

When it comes to home improvement, painting is one of easiest and inexpensive ways to dramatically change the look of a room. Yet, there are many factors that can influence how your project will turn out. When reviewing a contract for painting, it should include the following things; - How much the job is going to be - How many coats of paint it will include - What type of prep work will be done - What type of products will be used The reason why you may have someone that's great at painting and they can make a wall look great, but if the under laying surface hasn't been prepped you may see imperfections, there may be problems with the adhesion's.

To get the job done right, you need good quality tools. It doesn't make sense that people are willing to spend £50 on 5L of premium paint but decide to go cheap on the applicators. Later, when they see a hair on the wall or lumps of roller lint under the paint, they'll realize the mistake. Investing in good brushes or rollers up front is worth the extra pennies. It may seem obvious, but you always want to do repair work first so that your walls are smooth, clean, dry and free of loose debris before you begin painting. DIYers often continue applying a dip of paint until the brush or roller becomes dry. When you overextend each dip, the paint can dry in the brush bristles, and the fabric on rollers can mat down. Be sure to always maintain a smooth line of paint. Once the

DIY tips to paint like a pro!

To keep your home’s exterior looking its best—and prolong its life—experts recommend painting every five years or so. Preparing the Exterior Surface for Painting Here’s the step-by-step process for proper surface preparation which gives you the best results and a longer lasting paint job. 1. Power Wash The Surface A power washer is the best way to eliminate dirt and peeling/flaking paint from most types of siding. (Do not power wash stucco since it can destroy the surface in seconds.) Keep the spray wand at least 12 in. from the siding to prevent surface gouging. Don’t spray up under the siding flaps. Don’t use it to clean windows: it will break the glass. Always wear eye protection; never spray on a windy day. For the cleanest surface, use a good cleaning agent with the power washer, such as TSP or an all-purpose cleaner. Once the cleaning agent has been
