Interior painting in Wormerveer

Small rooms, light colours

The old workers' cottages in Wormerveer are compactly built: narrow hallways, small rooms and ceilings lower than in a town house. Colour does a lot in a space like that. A light, warm shade on the walls and a ceiling just a touch lighter make a room feel bigger, while a dark colour on a small wall can add depth if that is what you are after. How to choose is covered under choosing colours for your interior.

Low ceilings also have a practical side: they are easy to reach, but you see every imperfection up close. Careful filling and sanding pay off extra here, as does a ceiling paint that dries matt and reflects little light.

Old woodwork indoors

Older Zaan houses often still have original doors, frames and boarding inside, with decades of layers of paint. Those layers need assessing properly first. If they are sound, they are sanded and touched up. If they are coming loose, they have to come off. Very old layers of paint can contain lead, and then there is no dry sanding. After that comes a primer that makes sure the new lacquer bonds well. You can find more under primer and preparation.
