Imagine stepping into your own private cinema. The lights dim, the screen glows, and the walls vanish into the perfect backdrop, immersing you in your favourite films. Achieving this dream isn’t just about technology or furnishings, it starts with the right paint. 

Haymes Paint are a trusted Australian brand since 1935, combining decades of expertise with innovative solutions to transform ordinary spaces into extraordinary ones. Whether it’s moisture management, light reflection, or durability, the right paint can elevate your media room into the ultimate home theatre experience.

Challenges of Painting a Home Theatre

Media rooms, often tucked away in basements or enclosed spaces, present unique challenges for homeowners:

• Moisture Issues in Basements: High humidity can lead to mould, mildew, and eventual damage to walls and ceilings.
• Light Reflection: Glossy finishes and reflective surfaces disrupt the immersive theatre experience, causing glare and distractions.
• Wear and Tear: Home theatres are high-traffic spaces, with walls often exposed to scuffs, stains, and frequent use.

These challenges require solutions that are both functional and aesthetic, qualities that Haymes Paint products are designed to deliver.

Choosing Paints That Work as Hard as You Do

Not all paints are created equal when it comes to home theatres. That’s why we offer premium solutions tailored to meet the unique challenges of these spaces.

Haymes Ultra Premium Eggshell

Perfect for reducing glare, this velvety, low-sheen paint hides imperfections and creates an elegant, professional-looking backdrop for your screen. Its superior durability and stain resistance make it ideal for high-traffic media rooms.

Haymes Expressions® Interior

For basements or spaces prone to humidity, this mould- and mildew-resistant paint ensures walls stay fresh for years. Its washable surface combines practicality with long-lasting beauty.

Both of these paints are 99% free-VOC, ensuring safer air quality in enclosed spaces.

Techniques for a Professional Finish

Achieving a professional-quality home theatre finish isn’t just about the paint, it’s about how you apply it. Follow these steps for a flawless transformation:

1. Preparation is Key:

• Start with clean, dry surfaces free from grease or dust.
• Sand walls for a smooth base and apply a primer like Ultraseal® for optimal adhesion.

1. Perfect Application:

• Use a roller for even coverage on large walls and a brush for edges and corners.
• Apply two coats of your chosen Haymes Paint, allowing sufficient drying time between layers for a flawless finish.

1. Finishing Touches:

• Highlight architectural details with Trimplus for a sleek, durable finish.

With proper preparation and application, your home theatre will not only look stunning, but also stand the test of time.
