Our interior painters in Hawthorn transformed this unfinished room into a warm, modern, and professionally finished space. Before the renovation, the interior featured exposed brickwork, uneven wall surfaces, an unpainted ceiling, and dark structural framing.
We carefully prepared and repainted the ceiling and surrounding trims, creating a crisp white finish balanced by bold black accents. Natural timber wall battens were then incorporated to add warmth, texture and contemporary character. This before-and-after transformation demonstrates how detailed surface preparation, precise interior painting and a considered colour scheme can completely refresh a room while highlighting its architectural features and improving its overall atmosphere.

This interior painting project in Hawthorn, VIC 3122, was all about making a narrow stairwell feel brighter, cleaner and more spacious. We carefully prepared and painted the tall walls, stairway surrounds, balustrade and trims in a fresh white finish.
The lighter colour helps reflect natural light through the multi-level space while complementing the timber flooring and black handrail. Sharp edges and consistent coverage were especially important around the stairs and high sections. We’re proud of the smooth, tidy result, which gives this Hawthorn home a welcoming flow between levels and a crisp, contemporary interior that feels open and beautifully maintained.
Hawthorn is one of Melbourne’s established inner-eastern suburbs, located around 6km east of the CBD within the City of Boroondara. Known for its leafy streets, historic architecture and established residential neighbourhoods, Hawthorn features a diverse mix of Victorian and Edwardian homes, Federation properties, classic weatherboards and beautifully renovated contemporary residences.
Painting a Hawthorn home requires an understanding of the different materials, architectural styles and condition of each property. Older homes may require detailed preparation around weatherboards, timber windows, verandahs, trims and decorative features, while heritage properties need careful consideration of their existing character and finishes. Exterior surfaces also need to be properly prepared and coated to handle Melbourne’s changing weather conditions, helping create a clean, durable and well-maintained result.
We also service surrounding areas including Hawthorn East, Kew, Camberwell, Canterbury and Richmond.

Most internal repainting doesn’t need approval. However, if your property is under a Boroondara heritage overlay, you may need to follow certain guidelines for exterior changes. We can guide you through the process before work begins.
