Yes, we use proper primers when needed. New plaster, walls with big color changes, or surfaces with stains or repairs need primer for a professional finish. Our team will check your walls during our first visit to see if primer is needed for your walls. 

We only use high-quality primers. These ensure better sticking, improved coverage, and results that last longer.

For Newcastle living rooms, we often suggest matte or satin finish for walls. 

Matte finishes hide small flaws and give a modern, stylish look. 

Satin finishes have a slight shine that's more durable and easier to clean. This makes them great for busy homes with kids or pets.

For woodwork like skirting boards and door frames, semi-gloss or gloss finish offers durability. It also creates a nice contrast with wall finishes. 

During our visit, we'll talk about your needs and style preferences to suggest the perfect finish.

Absolutely! As local Newcastle painting experts, we offer free color advice. We look at your current furniture, flooring, lighting, and personal taste to suggest colours that will enhance your space. We know which colors work well in different Newcastle homes. This includes period homes in Jesmond and modern flats along the Quayside.

We can provide sample colours and even test patches. This ensures you're fully confident in your colour choice before we start the whole project.

DIY painting might seem cheaper at first. However, hiring a professional painter like Tulip Decor often gives better value in the long run. Professional painters bring knowledge in surface prep, product selection, and painting methods. This ensures a perfect, lasting finish.

We have the right tools to work efficiently and safely. This is especially important in homes with high ceilings or period features common in Newcastle. Plus, we handle all the time-consuming prep and clean-up. This lets you enjoy your newly transformed living room without the stress and time of doing it yourself.

Our quotes are clear and complete. We clearly state whether ceiling and woodwork painting are included based on what you want. Many Newcastle clients choose complete room makeovers. This includes ceilings, skirting boards, door frames, and doors for a matching look.

However, we're flexible and can focus just on walls if that's what you prefer. During our first visit, we'll discuss all areas you want painted. Then we'll provide a detailed breakdown in our quote.

Most living room walls need two coats of paint for the best coverage and a professional finish. This can change based on several things. These include the current wall color, the new color, the paint quality, and the wall condition.

Big color changes or covering dark shades may need extra coats. We use top-quality paints that give excellent coverage. We'll always apply as many coats as needed to achieve a perfect, even finish throughout your living room.

When choosing a Newcastle painter, look for established local businesses with proven experience. Check for good reviews from other Newcastle residents. Make sure they have proper insurance, clear written quotes, and honest pricing.

Good painters should offer references and show examples of past work in similar Newcastle homes. Communication is vital—they should listen to your needs, offer expert advice, and explain their process clearly. 

At Tulip Decor, we meet all these standards. We pay special attention to being on time, working professionally, and leaving your home spotless after finishing our work.

Absolutely! We understand that the local climate can contribute to moisture issues. We use high-quality mold-resistant paints in high-humidity areas.

These specialized paints contain antimicrobial additives that prevent mould and mildew growth. 

This is particularly important in older properties that might be more prone to dampness.

For most water-based paints, rooms can be gently used after 4-6 hours when the paint feels dry to touch. However, we recommend waiting 24 hours before returning furniture and resuming normal use.

Full curing takes approximately 7-14 days depending on seasonal humidity levels. 

We'll provide specific guidance for your property based on the paints used and current weather conditions.

Yes, proper preparation is essential for a quality finish. Our standard process includes filling dents, cracks, and scuffs, followed by sanding to create a smooth surface before applying any paint.

This careful preparation is particularly important in older properties that may have settlement cracks or wear from years of use. We ensure your walls look flawless once painted.

Absolutely. For all woodwork including skirting boards, door frames, and architraves, we follow a comprehensive preparation process. This includes thorough cleaning, sanding to create a smooth surface, and applying a high-quality primer.

This is especially important in period properties with original woodwork that may need special attention. Our meticulous preparation ensures a flawless, long-lasting finish.

Our experienced painters are skilled at working around architectural features. For built-in shelves, we use precision techniques and specialty brushes to ensure clean lines.

With radiators, we either work carefully around them or can arrange for temporary removal. For ornate fireplaces, we use meticulous masking and detail work to protect and highlight these features.

We can work with either approach based on your preference and your home's style. Matching trim to walls creates a contemporary look, while contrasting tones highlight architectural details.

Our colour consultants can help you decide which approach would best suit your property's character. We'll provide samples to help you visualise the finished look before making your final decision.

Yes, we regularly work with families who need to stay in their homes during painting projects. We can develop a room-by-room schedule that minimises disruption to your daily routine.

This phased approach is particularly helpful for larger homes or for families with young children or people working from home. We'll create a custom painting plan that keeps your household functioning while ensuring efficient completion of your project.
