Coordinate the rooms before starting.

ILLUSTRATIVE CONCEPT · NOT A COMPLETED PROJECT
A practical renovation guide

Coordinate the rooms before starting.

Coordinate adjoining rooms, sight lines and trim colours. Plan a sequence that accounts for furniture, flooring and rooms that need to remain available. Create a room and surface schedule, record final colours and agree on access. Review how furniture, flooring and occupied areas will be protected throughout the sequence.

Plan the detail with confidence
01

Build a room-by-room schedule

Record walls, ceilings, trim and doors for each room. Note the final colours and finishes and identify any areas excluded. A clear schedule reduces assumptions when several rooms and different surfaces are part of one project.

02

Plan access and protection

Agree on furniture, fragile items, storage and the rooms that need to remain available. Discuss protection of new floors and other work, the sequence of rooms and the responsibilities for moving and returning belongings.

Understand the alternatives

Keep the right project context.

01

Flat or matte

A softer appearance with less reflected light. Compare the specific product’s cleanability and the demands of the room.

02

Eggshell or satin

Consider where walls need regular cleaning and how light may reveal surface texture. Product performance varies.

03

Trim finishes

Choose an appropriate coating for doors and trim, balancing appearance, wear and compatibility with the existing surface.

Avoid unnecessary rework

Common assumptions
to resolve early.

  • Assuming new paint resolves the cause of staining, cracking or peeling.
  • Comparing prices without the preparation, surfaces and coatings specified.
  • Leaving protection, furniture movement and final touch-ups undefined.

Choose a few colours, then test them on the actual walls. Observe the samples during the day and in evening lighting. Compare the finish as well as the shade, and keep a record of the final product and colour for future touch-ups.

Before you finalize selections

Details to compare for whole-home colour updates

Create a room schedule showing walls, ceilings, trim and doors, including the selected finish for each. View connecting rooms together so colours work across open doorways. Agree which rooms remain available while work proceeds and who moves and returns furniture. Plan protection around newly installed flooring and cabinetry. Keep leftover labelled paint and the final product schedule together, noting that stored paint condition and aged finishes can affect later touch-ups.

Turn your choices into a clear scope

Bring the actual product information, a few photographs of the existing area and your priorities to the project discussion. Identify what stays, what changes and which decisions depend on the site assessment. Ask for the preparation, installation, related repairs and final adjustments to be written down alongside the selected finish.

Useful answers

Questions about
whole-home colour updates.

Use these answers to prepare for the project discussion. Confirm selected products, availability and property-specific requirements before committing to work.

Coordinate the rooms before starting — what should I review?

Create a room and surface schedule, record final colours and agree on access. Review how furniture, flooring and occupied areas will be protected throughout the sequence.

What details belong in this part of the scope?

Room schedule, colours, trim, furniture, access and sequence. Confirm the proposed specification, preparation and responsibilities for these items before work begins.

Can new paint hide cracks or water marks?

Paint does not resolve the cause of a defect. Discuss staining, recurring cracks, peeling or moisture before applying a new finish.

Do darker colours need extra preparation?

Coverage depends on the existing colour, new colour, coating and surface. Confirm primer and coat expectations after reviewing the actual conditions.

What should I do before painting starts?

Agree on furniture movement, removal of wall decorations, fragile belongings, pets, room access and the spaces that need to remain usable.
