By Glenn Broadbent • August 13, 2023
In the world of interior design, colour is a potent tool that can be wielded to bring about transformation and enrichment.

Through a deep understanding of colour psychology, personalisation, visual dynamics, and expert application, homeowners can create environments that inspire, comfort, and invigorate.

WHY HIRE AN INTERIOR DESIGNER

By Glenn Broadbent • May 9, 2023
Interior design is the art and science of enhancing the interior of a building or space to achieve a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing environment for the people using the space. It involves creating a functional and attractive arrangement of furniture, lighting, colour schemes, textures, and other decorative elements to create a harmonious and comfortable space.

What is the correct order to paint a room?


OK, you're ready to do the job yourself. But where do you start?

If you're painting an entire room, first paint the ceiling, then the walls.

It's also usually better to paint large areas like walls before repainting the trim.

Why? Because you'll work more quickly when covering open areas, this can result in roller spatters, overspray and occasional errant brushstrokes.


Do you cut in first when painting?


Painting professionals usually follow a certain order when painting a room.

We paint the trim first, then the ceiling, then the walls.

That's because it's easier (and faster) to tape off the trim than to tape off the walls.


Is it OK to cut in one day and paint the next?


It really shouldn't matter.

In the end, it's the exact same paint so it should match.

In my experience, it's easier to lay down a thicker coat of paint with a roller than brush, so after doing one coat of cutting in, and then one coat of rolling, you may notice the edges look lighter because there is less paint there.


What is the process of Plastering?


Plastering is the process of covering uneven surfaces or rough walls in the construction of houses and other structures with a plastic material, called plaster, which is a mixture of lime or cement concrete and sand along with the required quantity of water.


Is it easy to plaster a wall yourself?


Yes, you can tackle a plastering job yourself. You will need some learning, careful work and some time to learn the process.

It's like anything, you just need to put the effort in to learn how.


What is the difference between skimming and plastering?


Skimming is the term given to a plastering technique where a wall is plastered with a layer of thin coat. ... They are both used to decorate buildings and increase the durability of a wall, but skimming is generally used to upgrade an old building whereas plastering is done to a new one.


Is Gyprock the same as plasterboard?


Gyprock is also known as gypsum board, drywall, or plasterboard. Plaster made from lime, sand, animal hair and other ingredients has been used to create a smooth interior finishes on building walls and ceilings for thousands of years.

Gyprock, made by CSR, is the leading brand of plasterboard in Australia. It is used for sheeting walls, ceilings and cornices.

MORE ABOUT US

Frequently Asked Questions.

  • Exactly how much paint should I buy?

    We suggest around 3.5 litres for every 32 square metres (slightly smaller than the size of the average family room), but you’ll need almost double that if you’re applying two coats  ––  for example, if you’re painting over a dark colour and don’t use primer. You’ll also likely need an extra coat of paint for textured surfaces, such as brick. Another reason to get more than you think you’ll need: The exact colour of paint can vary if it’s mixed at different times, so the shade you buy this weekend might be slightly different from the same shade you buy next week when you realize you’re short.

  • Do I really need primer?

    Not if you’re using a paint-and-primer in one. But if you’re buying regular paint, you’ll get better results if you apply a coat of primer before adding colour. Primer, a light-colour base coat, smooths and seals walls, blocking future stains and laying the foundation for a streak-free paint job, especially on raw wood, drywall, metal, and masonry. In fact, for these surfaces, many pros prefer primer over paint-and-primer in one because combo formulas can cost more and often require two coats anyway. Have primer tinted gray or the colour of your topcoat if you’re making drastic colour changes—like going from red walls to light blue   ones—to better hide the old hue.

  • Should I throw out a paint roller or try to clean it?

    Most roller covers are cheap enough that you can treat them as disposables. But if you’d like to limit waste, you can clean them with a hand-powered brush-and-roller spinner.(about $15 hardware stores or paint supply shops). Slide the paint-soaked cover onto the spinner’s rotating head, and pump the handle; centrifugal force whirls off clingy paint. Rinse the roller in soapy water, then repeat a few times. To avoid splatters, do the spinning in a 15 litre bucket. Stand the roller up vertically to dry.

  • What are the different kinds of paint finishes and how do I select them for each room?

    Paint finish comes in three general categories:


    Flat Finish– also known as matte finish


    Satin Finish – also known as eggshell finish or low-luster finish


    Gloss Finish – also known as semi-gloss finish .



    The best places to use flat paint are ceilings, low traffic areas, and rooms that don’t require extensive cleaning.

    If it's a well-saturated look you are after that has rich results, you’ll want to go with a flat finish. Flat paint is the most forgiving finish with the best colour payout. 


    If you need to cover imperfections, patching or joints, flat paint can absorb light, making your dings and flaws less noticeable. The draw back to a flat finish is the lack of durability. Flat paint needs to be cleaned carefully as scrubbing may remove some of the paint. This can cause an uneven or patchy look on the wall.



    Satin finish is one of the best finishes to use that allow you to compromise between durability and colour esthetics. Satin has a subtle sheen that gives your room a great colouring while faint enough still to hide imperfections. Satin has one other feature that makes it a favorite for homeowners. Its strength allows it to dry just a bit harder than other paints, which helps the paint protect itself from environments that have more moisture in the air. Satin finish is also resistant to mildew, stains and dirt, and can be cleaned quickly.


    Satin paint is best for living areas, kitchen, entryway, bathrooms and high traffic areas.


    Semi-Gloss is best for kitchens and bathrooms. It has a higher sheen, typically 40-70% more than other paint finishes. Semi-gloss finish is known to reflect light and have a beautiful glow, without being too shiny. The most durable of the finishes, semi-gloss holds up well in humid environments and is extremely easy to clean. 


    There’s a basic rule when it comes to paint finishes; the greater the shine, the more durable the paint will be. 

    However, the higher the gloss, the more imperfections will show on your walls.

  • I want to have a professional paint my house. How do I find a good house painter and what information should I require in the quote?

    They are both excellent questions and more people should ask them.

    To find a good painting contractor, start by asking friends and neighbours for recommendations. Word of mouth is a very powerful tool. You could see if your local paint shop has a list. You could search the internet (that's how you found us). 

    Once you’re ready to talk to them, ask for and check references or other jobs they have done. When they give you a quote, get a firm price. Ask for both a start and finish date. Ask who will actually do the work and check to see if the contractor has public liability insurance.


    And never pay in advance. 


    A contract also should include a list of the work that is to be done, how many coats for each surface, the type of paint to be used for each part of the job, the preparation work that will be done, and who supplies the paint and other materials.

  • Can I paint straight onto plasterboard?

    Painting or wallpapering over a plasterboard wall is pretty straightforward. Ensure all the joints and nail holes are filled correctly so they don't show through the paintwork or wall covering. It's important also to seal the surface correctly to ensure a good bond.

  • Do you need to tape plasterboard joints?

    Whenever two pieces of plasterboard have been joined you should use Scrim tape  along the joint. After he scrim tape is applied the area should be plastered over using skimming plaster. To prevent cracking, Internal corners also require taping and ensure the scrim covers both sides of the joint equally.

Why should you Hire a Professional Painter?

Are you planning to change the look of your living or working space?

Then nothing gives you an instant transformation more than painting it.

There are numerous factors which influence the look and feel of your space and painting is the most important of all. Have you noticed that when someone, a guest or a visitor, walks into space, the first thing they notice is the walls. If the space is  nicely painted it gives a captivating look and if it isn’t then very little you do to your interior will make it appealing. So, when you decide to paint your house or office, you have the choice:

  • Do it yourself
  • Get a mate to do it
  • Find a painter on Gumtree (oh no!)
  • Hire a professional


Let's forget the first two!

Hiring a painter from a handyman website who quotes a very low price, can be very tempting. Giving the painting project to a low cost painter can save you a bit of money but there is no guarantee that you’ll be satisfied with the result. There's a good chance that you will end up with a sloppy paint job and you'll need to spend more to fix their mistakes.


Painting is much more than holding a paintbrush and roller.


Benefits of Professional Painters

Let’s look at the option of hiring professional painters to paint your home or office.

Anyone can paint but, not everyone is a professional painter.

A professional painter will give your home or office that look you were expecting, and beyond. Sure, hiring professional painters can cost you a bit extra than  'your mate' but is definitely worth it.


Here are some reasons, why you should hire professional painters

  • No Worries: You won’t have to worry or take responsibility for the result if you hire professional painters. Professional painters know how to paint and prepare a space. Instead of stressing about the painting job, you can spend your time doing something that you actually want to do.
  • Detailed Information: Professional painters will discuss with you all the necessary details of the painting process. They will help you to pick the right colours, whether for your interior and exterior. They will also keep you updated on the progress throughout the complete painting process.
  • Product Knowledge: This is the big one! Professional painters know a lot more about the right painting products to use. They always use genuine, branded products. They know which product should be used in a specific area; like the kitchen, bathroom, living area, etc. If there is any problem on the surface of the wall, they know what product to use.
  • Quality Finish Every Time: Quality finish, this is a big difference and what professional painters are known for. They know how to get that top quality finish. They guarantee a smooth and shining finish to all surfaces, and that's what sets them apart from amateurs. Professional painters will take care of your painting project and will give you a quality finish which will last for years.
  • On-Time Job: Professional Painters will efficiently handle the paint job. They manage their time effectively and will complete the job on time and to a finish you will be happy with.
  • Worth of money: When you look to invest in anything, you always seek a Return On Investment. Same thing when you spend money on hiring professional painters, it is an investment you make on your home or office. But with a professional you increase the chance of a  result that you will be happy with.
  • Experience: Being professional in any field is not the result of a few weeks or months. Professional painters have years of experience and when they work on any project, they apply that experience to the job at hand. They know how to prepare the surface, how many coats of paint will be required, and what action needs to be taken to deliver your quality finish.
  • Well Equipped: These days professional painting services require many modern tools and equipment. Some jobs might require a vacuum sanding machine, spray machine, or some other costly machine. Professional painters will have all the required tools or equipment for all types of projects.
  • Clean-Up: Painting projects can go for a few days or sometimes for weeks. They start the job by covering up all the unmovable objects. Professional painters know their job and at the end of every day will ensure they clean up after themselves.


There are many reasons and benefits to hiring a professional in any field, particularly painting. We hope helps you to understand why you should hire a professional painter for your next project. If you don’t want to compromise quality look no further than Painters Lake Macquarie, your local painter and decorator in Lake Macquarie.
