Your Old Skool House Painter

Make An Entrance – Kensington House Painters
Kensington House Painters – Hallway To Heaven.

A beautifully painted hallway makes the wonderful design pieces stand out. Because we’re interior house painters Kensington, we’re hallway painters by default. Your hallway is the first thing people see coming into your house. So it’s a great way to make a first impression on your guests. Or maybe just the postman.

With so many of these Victoria House hallways, there are fancy arches, cornices, ceiling roses and picture rails, so it’s easy to make a grand entrance. Whether you want to pick out the details with different paint colours. Or rely upon the shadows and the paint sheen levels. Options are a given with these hallways.

Using ‘Natural White’, which is a great, walm, classic and yet contemporary colour, was a great choice. Whites paints can be very hard to choose, and ‘Vivid White’ is a definetly a no no!

Here’s some help choosing whites from Dulux. We know as Kensington house painters, it can be the make or break in the painting project.

Paints Used:
- Ceilings: Haymes Ceiling Flat ‘natural white’
- Walls: Dulux Wash & Wear low sheen ‘natural white’
- Trim: Dulux Super Enamel semi gloss ‘natural white’
- Door:Dulux Super Enamel high gloss ‘red box’

Fantastic Painted Front Doors

Painted Front Doors. Melbourne

What’s in a painted front door? What does you front door say about you? Say goodbye to the Black front door, now that was over so long ago, but some people forgot to mention that to some other people and it lasted too darn long. Sterling Painters Melbourne know this.

Colour is so much more of a statement than black. Black says Number 10 Downing Street. Full stop. Colour says who you are, what you are, where you’re going, when you’re at and how you’ve made a statement. Unless you’re the Prime Minister of England then black is good!

Remember – Reason, Season, Lifetime. And go for it.

Oh just in case you don’t know, with painted front doors, Lilac, No!

Season, Reason, Lifetime – New Paint Colour

If, or when, you get bored, painting over a front door is easy. It’s not like painting your entire house. You can do it on a whim, as fashion dictates, seasonally. Life sometimes moves on, and so should your front door. What fulfilled your needs last year, may not do this year. Move on. Don’t look back. Get a colour chart, be brave, put a pin in it. Call us, Sterling Painters, and we’ll paint over that ghastly colour from last year.

Stylish Victorian Weatherboard Exterior. Seddon
Painting Weatherboard Exterior

As weatherboard exterior painters, we never tire of painting weatherboards. Whilst they all look similar, no two are the same, they all have their own personalities, does this have something to do with the owner?

This weatherboard house was no exception to the rule. The rule being preparation and yet more preparation. Sanding, more sanding. Filling and gapping, sometimes we even get to paint!! Usually, with painting a weatherboard house, the preparation takes longer than the painting. Why? Because this is the ‘rule’!

How your home looks is a reflection of you. A well painted house, and well kept house, tells the world what you think of yourself. We paint many sorts and styles of weatherboard houses. From the classic and grown up weatherboard, with black painted front doors, to the cheerful cottage, with bright friendly colours. How do you see your weatherboard house painted? What will the paint colour scheme say about you? Are you as stylish as this weatheboard house owner?

Dulux Popular Exterior Paint Colour Schemes Here to give you a few ideas, but if you have a strong idea already, go with it.

Paint Used:
- Dulux Weathershield Low Sheen – Gaiety Tan.
- Dulux Weathershield Gloss – Clotted Cream.
- Weathershield Dulux Low Sheen – Monument.

Painting a Modern Weatherboard – Flemington
Painting a Modern Weatherboard in Flemington

Painting a Modern Weatherboard? Giving a new take on an old theme, these weatherboards are a painters dream. Big and bulky weatherboards, along with difficult angles and hard to reach places, what more could a painter want? Simple satin varnished windows and doors add elegance. As Exterior House Painters, we make it look so easy.

You’re Painting a Weatherboard House!

It’s a lot of hard work. Why? Because preparation is the key, and that takes a lot of time. Most DIYers will think that the painting preparation just takes place before the painting. Wrong, the painting prepartion takes place, before and during the painting. The painting preparation will take longer than the painting. The weatherboard painting is the easy part. So sandpaper, gap filler, polyfilla and most importantly a good primer/sealer.undercoat, is what you’ll start your exterior painting project with. A few days later you’ll finally pick up a brush to start painting your weatherboard house.

Remember the whole point of painting your weatherboard house is to protect it from the elements. Making it look good and choosing the paint scheme is secondary.

Paint Used:
- Dulux Weathershield Low Sheen – Army Issue.
- Dulux Weathershield Gloss – Ecru.
- Intergrain – Ultraclear Satin.
