The colours and finishes you choose for your walls do more than decorate, they shape how you feel and perform in the spaces you inhabit. From the focus needed in a home office to the creativity sparked in a playroom, paint plays an often-underestimated role in creating purposeful environments. Yet, many people overlook its transformative potential. 

Haymes Paint have spent decades perfecting paint solutions tailored to enhance not only the look of your space but also its functionality. As Australia’s largest family-owned paint brand, our expertise and commitment to quality empower you to design spaces that motivate, energise, and inspire. Whether you’re crafting a vibrant playroom or a calming office, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Choosing Colours That Motivate and Inspire

The psychology of colour is a powerful tool in interior design. Certain hues naturally evoke emotions and behaviours, making them perfect for spaces with specific purposes.

• Home Gyms: Energise your workouts with vibrant reds and oranges that stimulate activity and drive. Pair these shades with neutral accents to maintain balance.
• Try Embrace, Riley's Run or Electric Orange
• Offices and Studios: Greens and blues promote focus and creativity. Soft greens are ideal for a calming workspace, while deep blues lend authority to studios and creative hubs.
• Try Swedish Ivy, Leek Leaf, or Sailors Dream
• Playrooms: Bright yellows encourage imagination and joy, creating an inspiring environment for children to explore and play.
• Try Free Range, Sundawn, or Tulip Yellow

Our extensive colour palette makes it easy to find the perfect shades for every space. From bold tones to soothing neutrals, our range ensures your vision is brought to life with precision and style. 

Durable Finishes for Every Activity Level

While colour sets the mood, durability ensures the space stays looking fresh for years to come. High-use areas demand paints that can withstand wear and tear while remaining easy to maintain.

• For High-Activity Areas: Expressions® Interior is a standout choice. Its exceptional washability and 7-year mould protection make it ideal for spaces like playrooms or home gyms where spills and smudges are part of everyday life​.
• For Moderate-Activity Areas: The velvety finish of Ultra Premium Eggshell resists stains and scuffs while hiding surface imperfections. This makes it perfect for stylish home offices and high-traffic corridors​​.

These paints don’t just enhance the appearance of your space; they simplify maintenance, giving you more time to focus on what matters most.

Solutions for Special Spaces

Some areas present unique challenges, and choosing the right paint is essential to address them effectively.

• Moisture-Prone Rooms: Kitchens and bathrooms require paints that can handle humidity. Our Kitchen & Bathroom paint offers anti-bacterial protection and a 10-year mould and mildew guarantee, keeping these areas fresh and hygienic​.
• Durable Flooring: For gym floors or studios, our QuickPave Paving Paint provides a robust finish that stands up to heavy use​.
• Trims and Accents: Details matter. Ultratrim offers a non-yellowing, chip-resistant finish that’s ideal for trims, skirting boards, and windows​.

With these targeted solutions, every corner of your home can be both functional and beautiful. 

Setting the Stage for Long-Lasting Results

Even the best paints need proper preparation to achieve their full potential. By taking a few key steps before you start painting, you can ensure a smooth and professional-looking finish.

• Clean all surfaces thoroughly to remove grease, dust, or mould.
• Sand uneven areas and repair imperfections for a flawless base.
• Use high-quality primers like Ultraseal® or Ultralock® to promote adhesion and enhance durability​​.
• Pay attention to environmental factors: ensure the area is well-ventilated, and avoid painting in extreme temperatures (below 10°C or above 35°C).

Preparation is the foundation of any great painting project. With these steps, your space will look stunning and last for years to come.
