Painting the inside of a house is not one job, it is six or seven different jobs in the same building. A hallway needs a washable finish. A ceiling needs a product that covers evenly without flashing. A bedroom needs a flat finish that hides imperfect plaster. Doing the whole house in one product is how rooms end up wrong.
Room by room
- Living areas — matt finish for a flat, calm wall, or satin where the room is used hard
- Kitchens and bathrooms — washable satin, with a ceiling product above
- Bedrooms — matt, in lighter tones if the room has little natural light
- Hallways and stairwells — satin, because these walls are brushed against
- Ceilings and POP — Prestige Best for POP for plaster of Paris detail
- Doors, frames and skirting — Premium Plus Gloss
Making the colours flow
The common mistake is treating each room separately and ending up with a house that feels disjointed. Pick one neutral for the walls and vary its depth room by room: lightest in the darkest room, a shade deeper in the living area. Keep the ceilings and trim consistent throughout and the whole house reads as one design.
Preparation is most of the job
Filling, sanding, washing down and priming take longer than the painting itself, and they are what decides whether the finish lasts. It is also the part most cheap quotes leave out.
