Painting & Decorating
At Laheen Painters, we can paint on almost any surface. We use only the highest quality paints, mainly Dulux and Colour Trend. We paint both interiors and exteriors. All walls are treated before painting and any rough edges, bumps or cracks are filled and sanded before we start. We believe this is essential and do not cut corners. We want the job to be finished to perfection; our customers are our best form of advertising, if you’re not happy, we’re not happy.

Domestic Painting
Our domestic painting has seen us paint hundreds of houses down through the years. We offer a no fuss, clean and fast service.
One of our reasons for success is our attention to detail. We never leave a mess behind. We take care of everything, from masking off edges, smoothing walls, painting and cleaning up.
Attention to detail. All surfaces are prepared before painting. We believe that the walls should be perfect before we start to ensure the best possible finish.
Furniture Painting
At Laheen Painting, we paint furniture, including kitchen units. Most surfaces can be painted on, however with some laminates; paint will simply not adhere correctly. We will know by looking what can and cannot be painted on. We use the newest paints and technology to freshen up or completely change the look of your furniture.
Deciding on a colour for your room;
- Do look at magazines, brochures. Watch home renovation shows. Sometimes we like things we never thought we would.
- Consider the lighting in your room. A bedroom painted the exact same colour as a hallway can look completely different. This can be down to the amount of light in room, if light is hitting it directly etc.
- If you are unsure about a colour, buy a sample pot of paint. Most DIY shops will have these very cheap. Paint in a few different spots if you can. This will allow you to see how the paint looks in different lights, and with different surroundings. Have a look at the sample in daylight and artificial. You may be surprised at the difference.
- Consider your choice of paint. Some paints come with different effects, e.g. texture paint, fabric, like suede effect etc. These can add a really interesting look to your room.
- Think about the colour you choose for your room. There is a whole science behind colours and the effect they have on your mood. See our guide below for more information on this.
Deciding what colour to paint your room
Blue
Blue has the opposite effect to red; it lowers heart rate and blood pressure. Blue calms the mind and restores peace. There are many different shades of blue; some can be quiet warm, while others are cold.
For example a pastel blue can be cold, where as a deep turquoise can be very warm and inviting. Dark blue can sometimes make people feel unhappy, so never go too dark.
Yellow
Yellow reminds people of the sun, warmth, and healing. It can make people feel happy and uplifted. We would not suggest painting an entire room yellow however, as it can be overwhelming.
Yellow has shown to make babies more prone to crying and adults more likely to lose their temper. It can be frustrating when used in a large room.
