Interior walls
Consider room use, existing coatings, daylight and the level of washable finish needed.
Painting guide
A clear starting point for interior walls, ceilings and trim.
Understand the sequence, vocabulary and practical checks behind a well-planned room refresh.
Ceilings
Overhead light exposes marks and uneven sheen, making preparation and a consistent wet edge important.
Trim and moulding
Doors, skirting and frames need careful cleaning, keying and a coating compatible with the existing finish.
Colour refresh
Test colour at scale beside flooring, curtains and fixed surfaces before making a decision.
Wallpaper removal
Identify the wall covering, work in manageable areas and avoid saturating vulnerable plasterboard.
Basic preparation
Clean, fill, sand and prime as the substrate requires; significant defects need suitable assessment.
Safety first
Ventilate the room, follow coating and equipment instructions, and take particular care with older coatings and uncertain substrates. This guide is general information, not a diagnosis of a particular wall.
