Living Space Refresh

Project Overview

This residential project involved a complete interior repaint of a spacious open-plan living area in a modern Auckland home. The homeowners wanted to move away from the dated beige tones and embrace a fresh, contemporary palette that would complement their existing furniture and natural light.

The Challenge

The original walls had multiple layers of old paint with visible brush marks and patching. Several areas showed minor water damage near the ceiling line. Our team needed to address these surface imperfections before applying the new finish to ensure a flawless result.

Our Approach

• Full surface preparation — sanding, filling, and priming all walls and trim
• Water damage remediation and sealer application on affected ceiling areas
• Two coats of premium low-VOC paint in Resene Half Sea Fog for the main walls
• Feature wall in Resene Smoky Green to add depth and character
• All skirting boards and architraves refinished in semi-gloss white

The Result

The transformation was dramatic. The light, neutral tones instantly made the space feel larger and more inviting, while the feature wall added a sophisticated focal point. The homeowners were thrilled with how the new colours brought the room to life — especially in the late afternoon light.

"We couldn't believe it was the same room. The team was professional, tidy, and the finish is absolutely perfect. It feels like a brand new home."

This project was completed over 4 days with minimal disruption to the family's daily routine. All furniture was carefully protected and the space was left spotless at the end of each working day.
