The paint you use in your home makes a big difference to your living environment. A good quality paint properly applied in the right color can work wonders, making your home a comfortable sanctuary for all the family. A good paint job makes your rooms welcoming, relaxing, warm and fun to be in, and is one of the best things you can do for your home.

When planning to paint any room in your house, it's important to pay attention to three things: color, quality, and preparation.

Color

Your choice of color is the first part of interior painting, and it doesn't get much more important. Your color choice will set the tone for the whole room – warm, fun, relaxing, elegant, old world or futuristic. To decide on your color, take a look at the mood of your room and furnishings. Your color should complement what is already there, and bring something all its own too. Warm creams with russet accents for warmth, soft mint or lilac for relaxation, a pale blue for elegance … the choice is endless. A professional painter can help you decide what works best for your home.

Quality

Always use the best quality paint you can afford. A good quality paint will go on easier, dry to a smoother and nice finish, and last longer. Not sure of the best quality paint you can afford on your budget? Ask a professional – they'll know how to get the most bang for your buck and give your room the professional treatment it deserves.

Preparation

When the time comes to paint your room, you'll need to prepare it! You'll want to move out what you can and cover the rest with dust sheets – be sure to protect your carpet too. Next, it's time to clean and prepare your walls. A good dust and clean is a must, along with scraping off any chipped paint. A quality primer will give you a smooth surface. For outstanding results a professional painter can prepare your walls to a high standard, covering any imperfections.
