Pick The Paint Colour Last

Yup, we’re a paint store and we’re telling you we don’t want to see you until you’ve started to sort out your decor finishes and furnishings first.

Living room update? Your sofa and flooring are a way bigger investment than the paint. And it’s easier to pick a paint colour to match these than the other way around.

Kitchen reno? Select that granite countertop you’ve been dreaming of first, and the colours in the graining will automatically provide a whole range of paint colour options.

With over 1,700 paint colours in the Dulux colour system plus the ability to match ANY of our competitor’s paint colours, along with custom colour matching to virtually anything and everything, so it’d be smarter to visit us last.

But have no fear if you’re feeling uninspired - come on in and our expert associates will help point you in the right colour direction.

Paint The Ceiling Before The Walls

Why is it that when painting a room, ceilings are often ignored or thought of last?

Ceilings should be more than an afterthought, and ideally tackled before painting the walls.

If you think your ceiling doesn’t need painting, just wait until that spiffy, fresh coat of paint is on the walls – you’ll dread the messy hassle of painting the ceiling after the room is done.

Painting the ceiling can cast a fine mist around the room or result in drips on the walls. Painting the walls after the ceiling will make that spatter disappear. For sure better.
