Paint Effects & Mural Artists

Paint can be used not only to decorate surfaces, but also to help protect them. Today, there is a wide range of interior and exterior paints and finishes available, giving you plenty of choice when creating different looks. As a general rule, light colours can make a room feel larger, while darker colours can make a space feel more enclosed. Common colour schemes include monochromatic designs using different shades of the same colour, contrasting schemes using two or more different colours, and harmonious schemes that combine similar and contrasting shades.

There are many different types of paint available to suit the area being painted and the conditions it will be exposed to. Outdoor surfaces should be painted using products designed to withstand exterior weather conditions. Interior paints should also be suitable for their intended use, such as moisture-resistant paint in bathrooms and other damp areas. In rooms with pets or children, washable paint may also be worth considering.

Common decorative paint effects include metallic finishes, ragging, sponging, pastel effects, suede finishes, marbling, rag rolling, dragging, crackling, stencilling, lime washes, pearl effects, colour washing and rusted iron finishes. If you are unsure which finish would suit your home, you may want to ask a decorator or interior designer for advice.

Murals are another option for creating a distinctive feature indoors or outdoors. Depending on the design and level of detail required, you may prefer to hire a mural artist rather than attempt the work yourself.

Choosing a Painter and Decorator

When choosing a painter and decorator for the first time, it is worth comparing several options before deciding who to hire. Ask friends, family or neighbours if they have used someone before, and look at examples of previous work or customer feedback where available.

Painters and decorators often focus on different types of work, so check that the person you are considering regularly carries out the type of project you need. For example, if you want decorative paint effects or a mural, look for someone who has completed similar work before.

Although it is worth getting several quotes, price should not be the only factor you consider. Compare the preparation work included, the products being used, the number of coats, estimated timescale and examples of previous projects. Thorough preparation can take time, so make sure each quote clearly explains what is included before you decide who to hire.
