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

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

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

Giving your home a fresh coat of paint is one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to revamp your space and get a whole new look. That is unless you're doing it all wrong. But, a quality paint job is easy to achieve -- when you prepare the surface correctly and use the right tools and products. We've rounded up the most common painting mistakes that you may be making as well as simple fixes to get your projects done right. 1. Pulling painter's tape up after the paint dries. It's best to rip it off right after you apply, otherwise the dried latex may come up with the adhesive. 2. You scrub your bushes at the end of each day. If you haven't completed your project, you can wrap them in plastic wrap and secure them with a rubber band. The bristles will stay moist and ready to go. 3. You

Painting is a home improvement project that seems made for Autumn. A fresh coat of paint or a new colour scheme around the house can give a home an entirely new look and feel. But paint can be pungent and the aromas may last if it’s applied at a time of year when it can’t dry while the windows are wide open. Paint fumes inside a home can make the home uninhabitable, but painting at a time of year like the Autumn, when you can keep the windows open during and after the project, can help air the home out. But interior painting isn't the only painting project homeowners can tackle in the fall. Many exterior paints are temperature-sensitive and need the temperature outside to be above 5C. Paint that freezes won't dry properly, and homeowners might be left with a costly and unsightly mistake on their

There are many factors that go into making your home more appealing, which is especially important if you’re trying to sell it. Most people selling a home need to make some changes to the interior in order to increase the value of the property. That usually involves fixing up the kitchen and bathrooms with fixtures and fittings, important rooms buyers always look at, as well as adding a fresh coat of paint here or there to spruce up the room. What many sellers don't realize is that buyers will often make a decision on a property before even setting foot inside a house, which is why curb appeal is so important.   Fresh coat of paint One way to increase the appeal of your home, and add value in the process, is to use exterior paint in a way that makes your house look a few years younger.

A fresh paint a coat can brighten up any home, making it look new. With summer in reach, there’s no reason why we can’t get the ball rolling and get to work. Here are some ideas to spruce up your home! Adding paint is a great way to freshen up an ordinary-looking fireplace and make it the focal point of the room. You can even paint the existing tile around the fireplace if you'd like. To do so, make sure it is sanded, clean and dry. Then, apply a coat of blocking primer, let it sit overnight and then apply two coats of semigloss latex paint. A quick colour change can give an entryway a whole new look, but painting a door isn't exactly the most fun job on your to-do list. If your knobs are a little on the boring side, consider replacing them with these vibrant

Whether you're prepping your home for market or improving your new purchase, nothing brightens a home like a fresh coat of paint. These signs mean it's time for a paint job: Chalking: A formation of fine powder on paint surfaces that can cause color fading if left unchecked. Scaling or cracking: Often caused by multiple layers of old paint, the only remedy is complete removal. Flaking: loosened peeling paint chips. Alligatoring: Deep fissures caused by long-term cracking. Complete removal is the only treatment. Lead threats: A health hazard, immediately remove lead paint. Discoloration Loose caulking: Avoid rotting and disrepair by checking window panes and doorframes.   For advice from the local Enfield guys who know what they are talking about, give Absolute Decorating a call on 0797 6404742 or visit our website: http://www.absolutedecorating.com Painters and decorators in Enfield!
