Painting Ornaments

Ornaments bring character to a space, but they can fade, chip, or lose their original charm over time. Our ornament painting service restores and upgrades decorative elements with clean lines, consistent colour, and a durable finish that suits your style and the surrounding surfaces.

We paint a wide range of details, from interior mouldings and ceiling roses to cornices, trims, carved panels, decorative frames, and other architectural features. Whether you want a subtle refresh or a bold highlight, we approach each piece with careful preparation and precise brushwork so the final result looks intentional and refined.

What We Paint and Where It Works Best

Ornament painting is ideal for properties where details matter, including period homes, apartments with classic trim, modern interiors with feature elements, and commercial spaces that rely on strong presentation. We can match existing tones for seamless repairs or create contrast to make details stand out.

  • Interior ornaments such as skirting boards, architraves, door frames, dado rails, ceiling roses, coving, columns, and decorative wall panels.
  • Exterior ornaments including trims, cornices, fascia details, decorative mouldings, and accent elements around windows and doors.
  • Furniture and decor accents like picture frames, carved pieces, and decorative items that benefit from a renewed finish.

If you are coordinating multiple areas at once, we can align ornament painting with broader interior painting services so walls, ceilings, and details look cohesive from every angle.

Our Process, Preparation, and Finish Quality

Great ornament painting depends on preparation. Decorative elements often have sharp profiles and small recesses that show imperfections immediately, so we take the time to set a solid base before any colour goes on.

Assessment and protection

We start by inspecting the surface, identifying flaking paint, hairline cracks, stains, or previous coating build up. Floors, furniture, and adjacent surfaces are protected with clean coverings and careful masking to keep edges crisp.

Cleaning, repairs, and smoothing

Ornaments collect dust and oils that can prevent proper adhesion. We clean thoroughly, then address damage with suitable fillers and repair compounds. For deeper issues, we can include crack repair and skim coating and detailed sanding to keep profiles sharp while achieving a smooth feel to the touch.

Priming and painting

We use appropriate primers to lock down porous areas and improve durability. After that, we apply even coats with controlled brush and roller techniques, paying attention to corners and relief patterns to avoid runs and pooled paint. When needed, we can use specialist products such as mould resistant paint for humid areas, or harder wearing finishes for high contact trim.

Final detailing and cleanup

Once the paint has cured, we remove masking carefully, check edges under proper lighting, and touch up where needed. The goal is a clean, uniform finish that enhances the ornament without looking heavy or overpainted.

Colour, Sheen, and Style Options

Choosing the right colour and sheen can completely change how an ornament reads in the room. Matte finishes hide minor texture, satin adds subtle reflectance, and higher sheen levels highlight crisp profiles. We help you select options that work with your walls, flooring, and lighting, whether you prefer traditional whites and neutrals or a bolder accent for contrast.

Clients often pair ornament painting with decorative surfaces for a premium look. If you are considering statement walls or tactile finishes, explore our decorative plaster services to complement mouldings and trims with refined surface textures.

Residential and Commercial Ornament Painting

We provide ornament painting for homes, offices, shops, hospitality spaces, and public facing interiors where presentation matters. In residential settings we work room by room with minimal disruption, and in commercial environments we can schedule around opening hours to keep your business running.

  • Residential projects including living rooms, hallways, staircases, bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms.
  • Commercial projects such as reception areas, meeting rooms, boutiques, cafes, and short term rental properties.
  • Repainting and refresh for worn edges, scuffed trims, and outdated colours that need a modern update.

When ornament work is part of a larger renovation, we can coordinate with broader property painting services to ensure consistent colour matching and uniform finish standards throughout the space.

FAQ

Do you need to strip old paint from ornaments before repainting?

Not always. If the existing paint is stable, we clean, sand, and prime before applying new coats. If it is peeling, cracked, or too thick and obscuring detail, we remove loose layers and repair the surface first.

What paint finish is best for skirting boards, cornices, and mouldings?

Satin is a popular choice because it is durable and easy to wipe while still looking refined. Matte can suit low traffic areas for a softer look, while higher sheen can emphasize sharp profiles but may highlight surface flaws.

Can you paint ornaments in occupied homes or open businesses?

Yes. We protect floors and furniture, work in planned sections, and keep the area tidy throughout. For commercial sites we can schedule early mornings, evenings, or phased work to reduce disruption.
