Interior renovation in Hillcrest: a young family's 1960 home, painted inside
The House Painters, a Registered Master Painters business, painted the interior of a 180 m² home built in 1960 in Hillcrest, on Auckland's North Shore. The House Painters worked alongside the architect and builders and painted the kitchen, bathroom, laundry, lounge, dining area, hall and bedrooms with Dulux paints.
The homeowners had already used The House Painters on their previous property. When they started this interior renovation in Hillcrest, they asked The House Painters to paint the interior of their new home, a 180 m² house built in 1960 on Auckland’s North Shore.
Working with the Architect and Builders on the Interior Renovation
The House Painters worked with the architect and builders as the interior renovation moved from bare framing to finished rooms. The site photos show the kitchen and lounge stripped back to timber framing, with a panel lift and stacked boards on the floor, and the laundry framed up with insulation in the ceiling.
Planning the Painting for the Interior Renovation
On an interior renovation, The House Painters’ quotes list the areas to be painted and the product for each surface. The products for this interior renovation, from ceilings to skirtings, are listed under Products Used below.
The Kitchen: Curved Island, Green Tiles and White Ceiling Beams
The kitchen in this interior renovation has an island with a curved timber-look front, a green tiled splashback and arched doorways, with white ceiling beams above light timber-look floors. The House Painters painted the kitchen ceiling with Dulux Ceiling White +PLUS Kitchen&Bathroom and the walls with Dulux Wash&Wear® +PLUS Kitchen & Bathroom Low Sheen.
The Lounge: White Raked Ceiling and Glass Doors to the Outdoors
The lounge in this interior renovation sits beside the kitchen under a white raked ceiling with exposed beams, with black-framed glass doors along one side. The House Painters painted the lounge ceiling with Dulux Ceiling White and the walls with Dulux Wash&Wear® +PLUS Anti-Bac Low Sheen.
The Laundry: Patterned Floor Tiles and a Black-Framed Window
The laundry in this interior renovation went from timber framing and ceiling insulation to a finished room with patterned floor tiles, white cabinets, a timber shelf and a black-framed window. The House Painters painted it with the same Dulux kitchen and bathroom range as the kitchen.
A Young Family’s Interior Renovation, Painted
At the end of the interior renovation, The House Painters painted the home inside, from the kitchen, lounge and laundry to the bathroom, dining area, hall and bedrooms. See more interior work in Interior Villa Painting in Remuera, or read about the exterior painting of a different Hillcrest home.

Who Are The House Painters?
There are many house painting companies in Auckland, and choosing one is hard. The House Painters have been painting Auckland homes for over 25 years. Painting is a personal experience because you are inviting strangers into your home, so you want a painting company you can trust.
Many painting companies have moved away from a personal approach. A salesperson does your quote, often with no painting background. You build rapport with that person, then the project starts and they are nowhere to be seen. You are handed to project managers and painters who have no personal stake in the job. What the salesperson promised to win the work and what the painters can deliver end up far apart, and after a considerable investment you are left disappointed.
This is where The House Painters are different. You deal with Chris Miller, the owner of The House Painters. From the quote to the completed project, I am involved in every stage. I bring over 25 years of painting experience, and my first priority is a good experience for you.
