1. Why 80% of fine painting lies in the preparation
Even luxury paints will highlight microscopic flaws if applied over uneven walls. Our painters invest the majority of their time in stabilization, taping and fine compound skimming before opening paint tins.
2. Selecting finishes by room destination
Matte: ideal for ceilings and master bedrooms, absorbing light and concealing slight irregularities.
Velvet: the contemporary choice for living and dining spaces, combining powdered aesthetics with washability.
Satin: recommended for bathrooms, kitchens and high-touch timber woodwork.
