Our Interior House Painting Projects

St Albans - Interior Bedroom Painting

St Albans, Christchurch - Interior bedroom painting

This project involved repainting four bedrooms in a home that remained occupied throughout the work. Careful planning, good ventilation, and the use of low-VOC products helped to minimise paint odours during application and drying. Additionally, we supplied an air purifier for the duration of the job at no additional cost to help with air purity. Our team kept the site well organised, ensuring we tidied up each day, while taking extra care with wardrobe areas, belongings, and furniture to ensure everything was properly protected from dust, fumes, and contaminants. The bedrooms were transformed from a darker, dated colour scheme into fresh, modern spaces with a lighter and more welcoming feel. The new finishes created a clean, contemporary look that completely revitalised the look of the home. The transformation left the owners feeling as though they were sleeping in brand-new bedrooms!

Ohoka - Feature Wall

Ohoka, Canterbury - Interior feature wall painting.

This striking feature wall in our client’s bedroom in Ohoka was completing whilst the family was still living in the house, so we took extra care to clean up each day and ventilate the space, using low-odor acrylic paints to minimise disruption. The project required precise attention to detail, especially to the joins and cut-ins, ensuring sharp, clean lines that perfectly complemented the modern design. To achieve a flawless, blemish-free finish, we used professional-grade additives, creating a seamless effect that made the feature wall feel like a natural part of the home’s architecture. The result was a beautiful focal point that truly elevated the space.

CBD - Office Revamp

Prep work underway on a heritage hallway with panelled walls in Christchurch, showing protective masking before interior painting.

This project involved transforming a Christchurch office space just before our client’s scheduled move-in. With tight deadlines to meet, we focused on brightening the interior while still maintaining its original character. The existing dark, dated colors created a low-energy, gothic atmosphere, so we carefully prepared the surfaces and introduced lighter, more vibrant tones that complemented the stunning feature wood paneling. The result was a modern, sophisticated space that felt fresh and energetic, yet still honored the building’s heritage and timeless charm.

CBD - Office Tidy & Freshen

Christchurch City - Interior Office Painting

When completing this project for a shared office building that required fast turnarounds between tenants. With just a day or two between moves, we worked discreetly after hours to refresh the space. Our Christchurch interior painting team carefully moved and protected the office furniture, fixed any damage, and applied a fresh coat of paint to brighten the space. We ensured the office was spotless before leaving, returning everything to its original layout. This allowed the space to be ready and welcoming for the new tenant, all without disrupting the daily work environment.

Redwood - Kitchen Revitalisation

Our client came to us with an old, dated kitchen that was in desperate need of professional revitalisation. Our client wanted a modern update without the cost of a full renovation. To achieve this, we used Dulux Tile & Benchtop Renovation Range—a two-part primer and topcoat designed specifically for high-use surfaces. The process started with meticulous cleaning to remove years of built-up chemicals and contaminants, followed by careful surface preparation. We ensured the surface was keyed properly, avoiding damage to the substrate, and creating the perfect foundation for the paint. The result was a sleek, modern finish that completely transformed the space, giving it a fresh, contemporary look while keeping the project cost-effective.
