We’re The Richmond House Painters, having painted so many houses there we may as well move in!

Richmond is a great blend of brick cottages, Victorian weatherboards and warehouse conversions. It’s a painter’s dream, the best of all worlds, and we have no chance of getting bored! We love the Traditional, Urban, Classic and Modern elements that you guys get us to paint, why? Because it keeps us painters on our toes and we get to improve our skills!

    Painting a Blank Canvas in Richmond?

    Painting a Blank Canvas. Richmond House Painters

    There are two good reasons for painting  blank canvas for us at Sterling Painters, the Richmond House Painters.

    Number one, to allow something else to shine. You have great undiscovered/famous art pieces, fantastic must have furniture, or the most wonderful parquet floor interlaid with the finest Moroccan handmade tiles.

    Number two, to expand the illusion of space. To make small spaces look bigger, boring but functionally very important. Yawn!

    The Colour of Paint

    Blank Canvas Number One. Display.

    Now you’re thinking that you have to paint the blank canvas number one white, or some variant of white, right?

    Clean, unspoilt, blank walls of any colour will do. We are not talking feature wall here. Infact the importance is the lack of feature. Be brave and go for it.

    Blank Canvas Number Two. Space.

    Again this doesn’t mean it has to be painted white. Sometimes it actually helps if it isn’t white. Take the smallest room in the house. Yours is white, right? It looks small, right? Painting these small rooms dark colours gives the illusion that the walls are further away, it helps if the ceiling is painted the same colour too.

    Technical Conclusion to Painting Blank Canvas

    Both blank canvases have to be featureless. Resulting in even more preperation. We actually think about the use of the room. It’s no good having the most amazing Jackson Pollock if all you’re looking at is the crack in the wall! Again if you’re only six inches away, it should be perfect in everyway. Absolutely faultless.

    Interior House Painting

    Having worked with this customer and the Architech before, we know the high standards expected of the painting. The basic standard is the Australian Standard AS/NZS 2311, is where we start. We finish at a much higher level, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to achieve faultless, flawless painted ceilings and walls.
