Transform your home this bank holiday - inside and out!

Entrance and Front Door

The entrance and front door are the first things guests see when they arrive at your home (and yourself after a long day), making them the perfect starting point for your redecorating project.

Choose a colour that complements the overall aesthetic of your home while creating a welcoming atmosphere. A vibrant, eye-catching front door can make a memorable first impression and enhance kerb appeal.

We recommend:

Farrow and Ball Full Gloss in either: Tailor Tack, St Giles Blue or Charlotte’s Locks

Dulux Weathershield High Gloss in either: Cranberry Crunch or Oxford Blue

Sandtex 10 Year Gloss in a contemporary classic: Racing Green

Living Room

The living room is the heart of your home, where you spend down time, as well as quality time with family and friends. A fresh coat of paint in this space can instantly update the ambiance, making it more inviting and cozy.

Consider using warm neutrals or earthy tones to create a soothing environment. If you want to make a bold statement, opt for a feature wall in a contrasting color to add depth and visual interest.

We recommend:

For warm and neutral tones, we’d recommend Zoffany Elite Emulsion. They have a beautiful palette of warm tones to choose from.

Kitchen

They say the kitchen is the heart of your home - you don’t neglect the heart in your body, so why treat the heart of your home any differently?

Your kitchen is another important area that deserves a fresh look. A bright and airy kitchen can inspire culinary creativity and make everyday tasks more enjoyable. Consider painting the walls with light colors to create a sense of spaciousness. For a trendy touch, consider using chalkboard paint on a wall or cabinet to jot down shopping lists or leave messages for your family.

A great option at an affordable pricepoint is Crown Easyclean Kitchen.

Crown Easyclean Kitchen is Crown's newest formulation for a washable matt emulsion suitable for the kitchen.

Easyclean Kitchen is a low sheen paint that is washable and includes grease guard formulation making it perfect for your kitchen.

Bedroom

Your bedroom should be a serene retreat, and choosing the right paint color can significantly impact the ambiance of this personal space. Soft, muted tones like pastels or cool blues can create a calming atmosphere, perfect for relaxation.

Experiment with different shades to find the one that promotes restful sleep and reflects your personal style.

Our go-to for pastels has got to be Earthborn Claypaint.

Earthborn Clay Paint is eco friendly containing natural properties, advanced formulation combined with low odour giving high performance and easy application for a professional looking finish.

We recommend:

Colours of choice: Marbles, Donkey Ride and Paw Print.

Outdoors

Don't forget the exterior of your home! 

A well-maintained exterior not only enhances kerb appeal but also gives you a sense of pride in your home AND can even add an extra layer of protection.

Start by giving your façade a fresh coat of masonry paint, selecting a colour that works well with the surroundings and complements your home's architectural style. Consider painting the trims, doors, and window frames in a contrasting color to make them stand POP!

We recommend:

For masonry paint, we’d recommend: Sandtex Ultra Smooth Masonry Paint.

Sandtex Ultra Smooth Masonry Paint is a waterproof emulsion, great for decorating masonry, brick, render and concrete surfaces.

Sandtex Microseal Ultra Smooth Masonry Paint has reached it's 60 year anniversary for protecting buildings, using exclusive Microseal technology, making the paint breathable and resistant to peeling, flaking and dirt. Plus, there are 28 ready mixed colours to choose from.

Don't neglect to paint your outdoor furniture or sheds either; a fresh coat of paint can revitalise tired pieces and make your patio or garden area more inviting.

We recommend:

For this, we’d recommend Cuprinol Garden Shades - there’s SO much choice, with 92 mixed to order and 22 ready mixed colours to choose from, there truly is a garden shade for every garden.
