Painting / Decorating in Kirkcudbright

Interior painting can be an extremely cheap method to rejuvenate the interior of your home. Painting is often done as a DIY project, but professional painters and decorators can ensure the best finish and make sure that your decoration is going to look its best for as long as possible.

 

 

You will typically spend longer getting ready to paint than actually painting. It's crucial to wash and prepare all walls and ceilings prior to painting, as well as to mask off any areas which shouldn't be painted such as skirting, architrave, plug sockets and light switches. Wrap furniture and any carpets or flooring in the room with dust sheets to protect from any splashes. When painting internally, make use of a primer coat as a base then multiple layers of paint, leaving each coat time to dry in between.

 

Interior painters and decorators can provide you with plenty of advice about paint and help you pick the perfect colour scheme for your internal rooms.
