Why Choose Our Interior Painters
When our founder Khai Do started painting interiors as a 17-year-old apprentice, he learned something that still drives our work today: the inside of your home is where life happens, and it deserves to look its best. That attention to detail became the foundation of Wellington Decorators back in 2008, and it's the same care we bring to every interior project across the Wellington region.
Interior painting is more than just putting colour on walls. It's about understanding how light moves through your rooms, which finishes work best for your family's lifestyle, and getting the preparation right so the result lasts for years. Our team of skilled painters specialise in interior work throughout Wellington, using only premium Resene and Dulux products that we trust to perform.
Every project gets a dedicated project manager who oversees the job from start to finish. We set realistic timelines and stick to them, because we know having painters in your home is disruptive and you want it done well and on time. That's why we back our work with a Master Painters 5-Year Workmanship Guarantee and offer free consultations and quotes with no pressure.
Our Commitment to Quality
As Registered Master Painters and Resene Eco Decorators, we stand behind every interior painting job with our 5-Year Workmanship Guarantee. Our team uses only premium quality products from trusted brands like Resene and Dulux to ensure a durable, beautiful finish that lasts. We set realistic deadlines and always honour our commitments. If any issues arise after completion that are caused by our workmanship, we provide a free touch-up service at no extra cost.
Our Interior Painting Process
Every interior painting project follows our proven process to ensure outstanding results:
- Free Consultation & Quote: We visit your home to assess the scope of work, discuss your vision, and provide a detailed written quote at no cost.
- Colour Selection: Take advantage of our free colour consultation (valued at $250). Our team helps you choose the perfect palette using Resene and Dulux colour charts, considering natural light, room size, and your personal style.
- Surface Preparation: We thoroughly clean walls, fill cracks and holes, sand rough areas, and apply primer where needed. Proper preparation is the foundation of a lasting finish.
- Protection & Setup: Floors, furniture, and fixtures are carefully covered with drop sheets. We tape off edges and trim for clean, sharp lines.
- Painting: Using premium Resene or Dulux paints, we apply an undercoat followed by two topcoats for full, even coverage. Ceilings, walls, trim, and feature walls are all finished to our high standard.
- Final Inspection & Touch-up: We conduct a detailed walkthrough with you to ensure every surface meets your expectations. Any touch-ups are completed before we consider the job done.

Interior House Painting Considerations
Colour Selection
Test in different lighting
Test colours in different lighting as natural and artificial light can change how colours look throughout the day.
Surface Preparation
Repair before painting
Cracks, nail holes, stains, and damaged areas should be repaired before painting to achieve a smooth, long lasting finish.
Paint Finish
Choose the right sheen
Different areas require different finishes. Low sheen or matte for living areas, semi gloss for trims, and moisture resistant paint for kitchens and bathrooms.
Furniture and Protection
Prepare your space
Furniture should be moved away from walls, and floors, fittings, and fixtures need to be properly protected during painting.
Drying and Curing Time
Allow adequate time
Allow enough time between coats and before using the room to ensure the paint cures properly and avoids marks or damage.
Ventilation
Good airflow helps
Good airflow helps paint dry faster and reduces odour, especially in enclosed spaces.
Existing Damage or Stains
Special treatment needed
Water stains, smoke damage, or mould may require special primers or treatment before painting.
Professional Finish
Quality results matter
A professional painter ensures even coverage, clean edges, and attention to detail that makes a lasting difference to your home's appearance.
