As summer fades and rainy days arrive, it’s the perfect time to refresh your home. From primer to gloss, Woodie’s at Carrickmines Park has everything you need for a successful paint project.

Whether you’re new to DIY or an experienced decorator, Woodie’s offers a wide range of trusted paints and finishes. You’ll find well-known brands like Dulux, Johnstone’s, Fleetwood, Moda, and Colourtrend, alongside Woodie’s own quality paints. Options include Vinyl Matt, Satinwood, and specialist bathroom and kitchen paints designed to resist moisture and wear.

It’s not just about paint – the right tools make all the difference. Stock up on rollers, brushes, trays, and masking tape to achieve smooth coverage and sharp edges. Preparation is key: protect floors and furniture with old sheets or tarps, wear old clothes, and keep a ladder handy. Stir your paint well, and if possible, open a window for ventilation. Apply masking tape along skirting boards, windows, and edges for clean, professional lines.

When painting, start at the top: ceiling, then walls, then skirting boards. Cut in carefully with a brush around edges, sockets, and vents, then switch to a roller for larger areas, working in smooth, overlapping strokes. Allow the first coat to dry fully before deciding on a second. For durability or shine, finish with gloss where needed.

Once complete, peel away the tape and admire your refreshed space. With the right prep and products, a coat of paint can transform any room – and the Woodie’s team is always on hand with expert advice.
