A successful interior makeover is about more than just choosing the right colours. It starts with proper preparation, quality products, and a paint system designed to deliver long-lasting performance. This stunning home transformation, completed by AGK Trading using products from Universal Paints Roodepoort, showcases how the right coating system can create a modern, personalised living space while providing durability for everyday life.
Building the Perfect Foundation
As with any quality paint project, preparation played a crucial role in achieving a flawless final result.
Doors, skirting boards and trim were first prepared using Universal Undercoat. Designed to promote excellent adhesion between the surface and topcoat, Universal Undercoat creates a smooth, uniform base that helps improve the overall finish and longevity of the paint system. Its superior sealing properties ensure a more consistent appearance while enhancing the performance of the final coat.
For the interior walls and ceilings, Pigmented Plaster Primer was selected as the foundation coat. This high-quality primer helps seal porous surfaces, equalises absorption, and improves the adhesion of subsequent paint layers. By creating a stable base, the primer ensures better coverage, colour consistency, and a longer-lasting finish.
Special attention was given to the bathrooms, where moisture protection is essential. Flexi Rubber Waterproof Coating in White was applied to vulnerable areas to provide effective waterproofing protection. Its flexible, durable membrane helps prevent water ingress, protecting surfaces from moisture-related damage and contributing to the long-term integrity of the home.
A Durable and Elegant Finish
With the preparation complete, the focus shifted to creating a beautiful and practical living environment.
Velvet Sheen in the shade Canvas was chosen for the interior walls. Known for its smooth low-sheen finish, Velvet Sheen offers excellent durability and washability, making it ideal for busy family homes. The elegant neutral tone created a warm, contemporary backdrop while providing a surface that can withstand everyday wear and cleaning. With a life expectancy of up to 10 years, it delivers both style and lasting performance.
To complement the walls, Classic Acrylic White was applied to the ceilings, doors, skirting boards and trim. This versatile coating provides a durable, washable finish that maintains its fresh appearance over time. Its crisp white colour enhances natural light and creates clean lines throughout the home, helping to unify the overall design. Like Velvet Sheen, it offers a life expectancy of up to 10 years, making it a reliable choice for high-traffic interior spaces.
A Beautifully Coordinated Interior Makeover
The completed interior makeover demonstrates the value of using a complete paint system designed to work together. From thorough surface preparation and waterproofing to durable decorative finishes, every product was selected to contribute to the final result.
The outcome is a stylish, modern home filled with personalised touches and coordinated finishes that reflect the homeowner’s vision. This interior makeover not only enhances the appearance of the property but also provides long-lasting protection and performance.
