Painters and other professionals...
After spending time and effort to get the perfect colours for your home, we understand how disappointing it can be to find your painter has used another brand of paint, and the beautiful result you imagined just doesn’t look right!
Having been in business for so long, we’ve met and worked with a lot of painters. To make sure you get the result you want, we can hook you up with 2 or 3 painters who we trust to do the right thing with your selections.
We do recommend getting at least a couple of quotes before commencing work. There is a lot of preparation that goes into painting before the first brushfull is applied, that will make or break the end result, so you should check that your quotes cover everything that is required.
And because painting might be just the first step for you, we can also refer you to an Interior Designer to help you bring all the elements of your room together.
