Benefits of

Professional Wall Painting

Interior House Painting

Interior painting is one of the most popular home improvement services across Cardiff.


At Primrose Decor, we’ve been helping local homeowners bring new life to their interiors for years.

Living Room and Hallway Painting


The living room is the heart of any Cardiff home. These rooms often have higher ceilings, especially in period properties common in Pontcanna and Cathays. Our painters carefully prepare these larger walls. We fix any existing flaws before applying premium paint that stands up to daily family life.


Hallways are high-traffic areas that make crucial first impressions. We use durable, washable finishes for these spaces. These paints resist scuffing  while staying fresh through wet Welsh winters and beyond.


Bedroom and Nursery Painting


For bedrooms across Cardiff homes, we balance beauty with practicality. We offer special advice on colour choices. This helps you pick shades that promote relaxation in master bedrooms or children’s spaces.


For nurseries, we only use low-VOC and non-toxic paints. This ensures your little ones aren’t exposed to harmful chemicals. This is a growing concern among Cardiff’s young families in areas like Llandaff  and Whitchurch.


Kitchen and Bathroom Painting


Cardiff’s changing climate creates unique challenges for kitchen and bathroom painting. These damp environments need specialised paints that resist water damage, mould, and mildew.


Our team applies kitchen-specific paints that withstand cooking splashes. These paints are easily wipeable—essential for busy households.


For bathrooms, we use premium moisture-resistant  formulations. These are designed to prevent peeling and bubbling even in the steamiest conditions. This is a common issue in older properties with limited ventilation.


Woodwork and Trim Painting & Staining


The detailed woodwork in many traditional Cardiff homes deserves special attention. Our skilled painters carefully prepare, prime, and finish skirting boards, door frames, window sills, and architraves. We use techniques that highlight these architectural features.


We’re experienced with both the ornate Victorian details found in Pontprennau homes and the simpler modern trim styles. These are common in newer developments in Cardiff Bay and Lisvane.


Our Interior Painting Process


Every Cardiff painting project begins with thorough preparation:

1. Comprehensive assessment of your Cardiff property’s interior surfaces

2. Careful protection of furniture and flooring with professional-grade coverings

3. Surface preparation including filling, sanding, and priming as needed

4. Expert application using techniques right for each specific surface

5. Meticulous cleanup leaving your Cardiff home spotless after completion


We bring the same attention to detail to every project across Cardiff. This is true whether you’re in a cozy Rhiwbina semi-detached or a spacious Cyncoed detached home.


Our local painters understand the unique features of homes throughout the Welsh capital. We deliver beautiful, lasting results  that enhance your living space and increase your property’s value.

Exterior House Painting

At Primrose Decor, we know your home’s exterior is its first defence  against Cardiff’s changing Welsh weather.


Our exterior painting services  enhance your property’s curb appeal. They also provide lasting protection against moisture, UV damage, and temperature changes common in South Wales.

Our skilled Cardiff house painters can treat all exterior surfaces of your home:


Exterior Wall Painting


Your Cardiff home might have rendered surfaces, pebbledash, brick, cladding, or traditional Welsh stone. Our team uses the right preparation methods and paints for each surface type.


We use breathable masonry paints for older properties. For modern homes, we apply high-performance exterior coatings. This ensures proper moisture control  while giving bright, long-lasting colour.


Window and Frame Painting


We carefully prepare and paint wooden sash windows, casement frames, and modern uPVC surrounds. We use special exterior wood paints that resist UV damage.


For period properties in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan, we use traditional linseed oil paints. These paints move with the wood as seasons change. This stops cracking and peeling that’s common in Welsh coastal areas.


Door and Entranceway Painting


Your front door creates an important first impression. Our team preps, primes, and finishes wooden doors with tough exterior paint in gloss, satin, or eggshell.


For composite doors, we use special metal paints that won’t fade in exposed Cardiff locations. We offer optional marine-grade coatings for homes near Cardiff Bay or coastal areas.


Fascia, Soffit and Guttering Painting


These roof-edge parts need proper preparation and special coatings. We clean wooden fascias before applying the right paint systems. This protects them from water damage.


For uPVC parts, we use special plastic-sticking paints that resist chalking and sun damage.


Railing, Gate and Metalwork Painting


Many Cardiff homes have decorative ironwork, railings, and metal gates. Our team removes rust and applies zinc-rich primers.


We finish with top-quality metal paints made for Welsh weather. This stops rust and keeps everything looking great.


Shed and Deck Painting


We also paint sheds, garden rooms, fences, and decking. We apply proper wood stains, preservatives, and exterior paints. These are chosen for flat surfaces that face extra weather challenges.

We Paint All Cardiff Homes

At Primrose Decor, we’ve transformed thousands of homes across Cardiff with our professional painting services.


We work on all types of homes, from Victorian terraces in Roath to modern apartments in Cardiff Bay.


Our team knows the unique features of every property type in our Welsh capital.

Cardiff’s Victorian and Edwardian Terraces


These charming old homes in
Cathays, Roath, and Pontcanna need special care. We carefully prepare original plasterwork and repair any cracks. We use traditional painting techniques that respect the heritage while giving modern durability. Our breathable paint options help prevent moisture problems common in these older Cardiff homes.


Semi-Detached Bay-Fronted Houses


These 1930s homes are common in
Llandaff, Heath, and Whitchurch. They have distinctive bay windows and character features. We make sure to cut-in precisely around period details. We also use the right primers for the mix of wood, render, and brick surfaces these Cardiff homes typically have.


Modern Cardiff Apartments and Townhouses


For
newer builds  in Cardiff Bay, Atlantic Wharf, and Pontprennau, we choose contemporary finishes. These work well with modern interiors. We use low-VOC paints that are perfect for well-insulated spaces. These paints dry quickly with little smell – great for busy Cardiff households.


Post-War Cardiff Council Houses


These solid homes are found in
Ely, Fairwater, and Llanrumney. They have their own painting needs. We know how to handle the typical Artex ceilings and mixed wall finishes. We use the right preparation techniques and tough paints that can stand up to family life.


Cardiff’s Distinctive Architecture


We adapt our approach to suit all types of homes. This includes
stone cottages in St Fagans, converted chapels in Llandaff, or luxury waterfront apartments at Penarth Marina. Our Cardiff painting team considers local weather, which direction your home faces, and building materials. This helps us recommend the perfect paint system.


Our
Cardiff-based house painters bring local knowledge to every project. We understand how the damp Welsh climate affects different exteriors. We also know how homes closer to Cardiff Bay and the Bristol Channel face varying levels of salt exposure.
