Painting Laundry Rooms and Utility Areas
Imagine walking into a laundry room that feels more like a thoughtfully designed extension of your home rather than an afterthought. A space that combines practicality with aesthetics, protected against wear and moisture, and easy to keep clean. With Haymes Paint, transforming your laundry or utility space into such a haven is simpler than you think.Â
Transforming the Most Overlooked Spaces in Your HomeÂ
Laundry rooms and utility areas work hard every day. They face constant exposure to humidity, heavy foot traffic, and everyday grime. Yet, these spaces often get overlooked in favour of kitchens or living areas when it comes to home improvement.
Without the right paint, the walls and surfaces in these areas are vulnerable to mould, mildew, peeling, and staining. High humidity creates the perfect conditions for problems that are as unsightly as they are unhygienic. But with durable, specialised paints, you can protect and enhance these hard-working spaces, making them easier to maintain and more enjoyable to use.
Paints That Work as Hard as Your Laundry Room
Choosing the right paint is key to ensuring your laundry or utility area stands the test of time. Haymes Paint offers a range of premium products tailored to the unique demands of these spaces.
- Kitchen & Bathroom: Designed for areas exposed to humidity, this ultra-premium paint offers anti-bacterial protection and a 10-year mould and mildew guarantee. Its durable, washable finish ensures your walls stay looking fresh even after frequent cleaning​​.
- Ultra Premium Eggshell: Perfect for high-traffic areas, this paint combines exceptional stain and scuff resistance with a velvety, low-lustre finish. It’s ideal for laundry rooms where detergent spills and splashes are common​​.
- Trimplus: For trims, windows, and doors, this paint provides a durable, non-yellowing finish that withstands moisture and wear. Its quick-drying formula ensures a flawless finish on often-neglected details​​.
With these paints, you’re not just covering walls, you’re investing in protection, style, and longevity.Â
Laying the Groundwork for a Perfect Finish
Preparation is everything when it comes to achieving a professional result. Before opening that paint tin, follow these essential steps:
- Clean Thoroughly: Use soapy water to remove grease, grime, and mould. Thoroughly clean all surfaces to help paint adhere better​​.
- Fill and Sand: Repair any cracks or imperfections with filler, then sand the surface smooth. This creates a flawless base for your paint.
- Prime for Success: Apply Haymes Ultraseal® to any patched or new areas. This step enhances paint adhesion and ensures even coverage​​.
By investing time in preparation, you’ll ensure your paint job not only looks beautiful, but also lasts for years.Â
Finishing Touches to Elevate Your Laundry Room
With your surfaces prepped and your paint chosen, it’s time to apply your finish like a pro:
- Application Tips: Use a high-quality paint roller for walls and a high-quality paint brush for trims to ensure even coverage. Work in smooth, overlapping strokes and avoid overloading your tools.
- Design Ideas: Consider light, airy colours to make smaller spaces feel larger, or add a pop of personality with a feature wall. For cabinetry, matching colours with trims creates a cohesive look.
- Maintenance Made Simple: Our durable, washable paint finishes mean cleaning is a breeze. A damp cloth is all you’ll need to keep your laundry looking pristine.
With the right approach, your laundry room can go from a forgotten corner to a functional and stylish part of your home.Â
