Why does paint peel? 🎨

Paint peeling is usually a sign that the surface underneath was not properly prepared, or that moisture is affecting the wall. 💦

Before painting, the surface should be clean, dry and sound. Any loose or flaking paint needs to be removed, cracks should be repaired, and damp or moisture issues should be addressed before a new coat is applied.

If paint is applied over dust, grease, damp, or an unstable surface, it may not bond properly, which can lead to peeling, bubbling or flaking over time.

A lasting paint finish starts with the wall beneath it. ✅

Do darker colours make a room feel smaller? 💙🌑

Not necessarily.

While lighter colours are often associated with making a space feel larger, darker shades can add depth, character and a sense of sophistication when used thoughtfully.

The way a colour feels in a room depends on several factors, including natural light, room proportions, ceiling height and the overall design of the space. In well-lit rooms, deeper tones can create a warm and inviting atmosphere without making the space feel confined.

The key is choosing the right colour for your specific room and understanding how it will interact with the lighting throughout the day.

Can you paint over old paint? 🎨

In most cases - absolutely! But the secret to a smooth, long-lasting finish is all in the preparation 👌

Before applying your new colour, make sure the surface is:

✨ Clean and dry
✨ Free from peeling or flaking paint
✨ Lightly sanded if the existing finish is glossy
✨ Repaired where there are cracks or uneven areas

Painting straight over damaged or unstable paint can affect both the appearance and durability of your final finish.

A little extra preparation now can make a huge difference later, helping your new paint apply more evenly, adhere properly, and look its best for longer ✨
