Interior and Exterior Trims

It's the little things that often count the most. As Gold Coast Painters we know when it comes to painting it's the trims that bring the whole job together and create the finished look that our clients are after.

Imagine the exterior of a house with all the trims painted in the same colour as the house, how boring!!
The trims make the house so choosing the right accent colours for fascias, gutters, soffits etc is important. Don't forget that exterior paint has to be good quality to withstand the elements and that darker colours tend to fade quicker than lighter colours. Lighter colours don't absorb as much heat and light therefore last longer and need less maintenance.

Interior trims are just as important to the finished look. Interior trims are always painted in enamel as it's much more hard wearing and looks better with its shiny gloss finish.

Beautiful, glossy skirting boards, door frames, windows, cupboards or doors are the icing on the cake to transform a good paint job into something spectacular. I've seen it before, cutting corners by slapping on a bit of wall paint instead of enamel. For one it looks tacky and for two it scratches off.

It's official, for looks and durability you can't beat a beautifully enameled trim. For all your Gold Coast Painting needs contact us at Wow Painting and Decorating.

Gold Coast Painters - Wow Painting and Decorating really create the "Wow Factor" with colour.

We have found that most people like to follow the decorating trend that's in right now. Fortunately using paint and colour can create the up to the minute look in no time and it's more cost efficient compared to other forms of decorating.

As Gold Coast painters and decorators we take our job seriously and love it when we come up with a great idea or colour scheme that the client might not have considered. At the moment the colour scheme most popular is neutrals. Neutrals look fresh and open up a space. What's best about this colour scheme is the wonderful effect accent colours can have on a neutral background.

While neutral colours are big so are natural textures and fibers. These can be incorporated into the decorating in the form of cushions, rugs, pictures, curtains etc. It's great to then pull a colour out of this and add just a small amount of colour as a feature wall. It doesn't have to be a huge expanse of wall, sometimes just a small alcove or space will do the trick.

Wallpaper is so stunning at the moment with the latest colours and designs from Europe popping up in Australian homes. These designs can instantly change the whole feel of a room. Nothing adds luxury like wallpaper. Again just a feature wall is all that is needed while still keeping quite a neutral colour scheme. This look is very modern and contemporary.
