Why the Right Finishing Touch Matters

Even the best-designed spaces can fall short without quality finishes. That’s why understanding paint systems and the craft of painting is so critical. Whether you’re a designer or contractor, getting the details right ensures a stunning, lasting finish.

The Keys to Perfect Finishes

To elevate your work and avoid pitfalls, follow these essential tips:

• Choose Washable Coatings: These make maintenance a breeze for your clients, keeping spaces looking fresh for longer.
• Insist on Mould-Resistant Paints: Areas like bathrooms, laundries, basements, and shaded external walls need extra protection to prevent issues down the line.
• Paint from the Primary Light Source: Always start painting from the natural light source—like a window—to ensure the best visual finish.

Stand Out with Professional Details

Want to leave a lasting impression? Always label paint cans or email colour details, complete with your logo. This ensures clients know where to turn for touch-ups or future projects.

Collaboration is Key

Designers, don’t hesitate to collaborate with colour consultants or interior designers—they bring expertise that can take your work to the next level.
