Interior Painters in Auckland

We care about your whole painting process

Our interior painting process ensures you get exactly the look and feel you are after while ensuring we work within your budget. Your home interior is our number one priority.

We talk through design options, various interior and house painting colour combinations, and the different quality and types of paints that are available for the surfaces you want transformed.

We all want to make our homes something to be proud of and an investment that will hold its value well into the future. When it comes time to interior house painting and revitalising your home, there are many different things you can do, from basic renovations to adding a whole new room. However, such changes do not always need to be so extensive and costly. Sometimes, the best way you can breathe new life into a home is with the refreshing magic provided by a professional paint job.

Here are some interior painting tips to consider:

  • Before any interior painting begins, it’s important to consider different types of paint finishes. High-gloss paint, for example, is extremely durable and easy to clean. If your wall contains imperfections, however, this type of paint is known to enhance the imperfection, so a flat paint may be a better option.
  • Light colours work anywhere, but dark colours require rooms with lots of windows and natural light.
  • Auckland is a city where “green” isn’t just a colour. Choosing environmental and eco-friendly paints is now and easy option – ask us how.
  • If you’ve got patterned upholstery, a colourful rug or large piece of artwork, pluck colours you like from the pattern. For a neutral wall paint colour, look to the pattern’s whites and beiges.
  • Neutral colours match any decoration or furniture.
  • A real “cookbook” way to make any space look good without much risk, says designer Mark McCauley, is to use darker colour values for the floor, medium colour values for the walls and light values for the ceiling.
  • Start with the Formal Areas of the House, specifically the living room, dining room and entry way. Choose a colour scheme for those areas first, then pull one colour from the scheme. For example, take a red sofa and tone it down (say, to burgundy) for an accent in more private spaces such as the den, office or bedroom.
  • Colour Harmony: Divide your palette into three parts – 60% dominant colour (walls), 30% secondary colour (upholstery), and 10% accent colour (accessories). Achieve balance and visual interest effortlessly.
  • Make Small Spaces Pop. Skip the white paint trick for tiny rooms. Opt for vibrant colours to make a statement. Let big rooms breathe with light while small spaces offer cozy comfort.
  • Embrace Your Style. Decorate authentically and let others appreciate your unique taste. Use colours that resonate with you, like red, white, and blue throughout your home. Your personal style is what truly matters.

The house exterior weatherboard and window paint condition was in a very poor state and needed a total overhaul including timber repairs, cracked/flaking lead paint strip, metal flashing replacement, gutter replacement and window re-putty. We pretty much selected Davis House Painters, exterior painters in Auckland, based on a positive initial on-site meeting with Paul (owner) who took the time to explain the benefits and process of doing the job right for a long-lasting quality finish that followed the Resene Certified environmentally safe processes for lead paint stripping, containment, handling and disposal. Paul's was not the cheapest quote but was the best value considering safe process, thoroughness and quality. The main works took four weeks (3 for prep, 1 for painting) despite frequent wet weather, and started on the day agreed 6 months prior. The crew was professional, friendly and helpful in coordinating their work with the builder (wood repairs, flashing install), gutter installer and us living amongst it all. At the end of each shift the site was made safe, secure, clean and tidy. During the works, roof cleaning and repaint was added to the scope based on inspection and advice from Paul. Resene's undertook a quality audit during the works and had no issues. The end result is fantastic, and we wouldn't hesitate to use Davis House Painters again and would definitely recommend them to others.

I was fortunate to have Davis house painters recommended to me by a masterbuilder in Auckland, who only uses top quality reliable professionals. Paul Davis runs a tight well-supervised crew, who always perform to schedule. They have completed interior and exterior painting throughout my residence. I have appreciated Paul's advice on colour and product choices, as he has extensive knowledge and experience, and an eye for results. Really felt confident when they were on the job, and a pleasure to have in the home.

Paul and his team painted the entire exterior of our two storey house as well as completing some indoor painting for us. From our very first meeting with Paul we were impressed with his knowledge and his professionalism. We took his advice on colours and this has proved to be a very wise choice as our now fully painted house is looking fantastic. Paul's team when on site were all very respectful and friendly and in particular Ash who painted a great deal of the house on his own throughout some dreadful weather and whose attention to detail was noted not only by us but by our neighbours as well. We have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who is looking for a professional and friendly team. Mike and Rose

Paul is the absolute professional. I had my house interior painted throughout, including living, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and the garage. Paul consulted on the colours to use with a keen eye for the finished look. The quality of the job was outstanding and I am extremely happy with it. It was on time, on budget and the result far exceeded my expectations. Paul also colour matched the exterior of the house for some touch ups and one would never know the difference. I have no hesitation in recommending Davis Painters to anyone who wants a quality job at an affordable price. Thanks Paul.

Paul and his team completed a significant sized exterior task to change large stained cedar panels on our home to a regular high quality paint finish in a different color. This involved removing much of the stain and subsequent preparation of the surfaces before applying four coats of paint to make the change. The job has been completed to an exceptional standard. It has also been a pleasure to have Paul and his team on site at our home. Top quality work, great customer service and a pleasure to have them working on this job for us. Gray Paterson

I am really impressed with the way a difficult job was handled. Davis painters turned two walls in my office into whiteboards and the end result is excellent but what really impressed me was the way Paul conducted himself. Due to poor wall perpetration from another painter Paul had to come back a couple times to get the right result, which he did without question. I highly recommend Paul as someone you can trust to do what he says he will and to go the extra mile.

Paul & his team are absolute professionals. Our older cottage was in dire need of interior painting & from the initial consultation through to the finished result, we could not be happier. Paul worked within our needs, which is a rarity these days, & we had no issues trusting him with accessing our place whilst we were away. If you are looking for a reliable, high quality painter & a very good price, then you will find it with Paul & Davis Painters. Thanks Paul!

Paul has done both interior and exterior paint jobs for me over the past 12 years. These have been on old wooden villas. His work has always been of the highest quality, including preparation work. He is always professional, honest and a good communicator. I have no hesitation in recommending him as a painter.

Paul and his team did a great job of giving my house a high quality, attention to detail repaint. From careful and thorough preparation to precise colour selection set the job up to perfection. Besides, Paul's good sense of taste help me make the right choices of colour theme and wallpaper. We love the outcome and expecting long lasting effect. Will definitely have Paul to repaint the exterior of our house in due course.
