Hand-Painted Kitchen Transformation – Portstewart


Project Overview: A Fresh Coastal Transformation in coleraine
Our Portrush client loved their kitchen layout but felt the dark, tired cupboards no longer matched the fresh, coastal look they wanted for their home. Rather than replacing the units, they chose our professional hand-painting service to give the kitchen a new lease of life. By revitalizing the existing cabinetry, we were able to deliver a stunning and cost-effective transformation that perfectly captured their vision of a bright and inviting coastal-style kitchen.

Hand-Painted Kitchen Transformation in Coleraine
Our Coleraine client loved their kitchen layout but noticed that the plastic covering on the cupboard doors was peeling and the overall finish looked tired and outdated. Rather than replacing the units, they chose our professional hand-painting service to refresh the cabinetry. By carefully removing the damaged surfaces, preparing each door, and applying durable, high-quality paint, we delivered a stunning, cost-effective transformation that perfectly captured their vision of a bright, modern, and inviting kitchen.


Hand-Painted Kitchen Transformation – Portstewart
The Challenge
This Portstewart kitchen had solid cupboards but an outdated finish that made the space feel dark and tired. The homeowners wanted a modern, lighter kitchen without replacing their existing cabinets.
Our Process
To achieve a durable professional finish we followed our preparation-first process:
- Careful removal of handles and hardware
- Deep cleaning and degreasing of all cupboard surfaces
- Sanding to ensure paint adhesion
- Specialist cabinet primer application
- Multiple coats of durable furniture-grade paint
- Reassembly and finishing details
The Result
The kitchen was transformed into a fresh, modern space with a smooth hand-painted finish. The new colour brightened the entire room while retaining the quality of the original cabinetry.


Interior Painting Project – Coleraine
The Brief
A homeowner in Coleraine wanted to refresh their living room, hallway and staircase with a clean, modern look.
What We Did
- Full surface preparation
- Crack filling and sanding
- Walls and ceilings painted in neutral tones
- Woodwork refinished for crisp contrast
The Outcome
The finished space now feels brighter, cleaner and more welcoming, with sharp lines and a smooth professional finish throughout.


Kitchen Cupboard Painting – Portrush
The Starting Point
This Portrush kitchen had strong solid cupboards but a dated colour that didn’t suit the rest of the home.
Our Work
- Thorough cleaning and preparation
- Professional cabinet primer
- Hand-applied furniture-quality paint
- Hardware refitted after curing
The Result
The transformation gave the kitchen a bespoke hand-painted look at a fraction of the cost of replacing the units.
Bedroom Transformation in Portrush


A Bright, Modern Bedroom with a Clean Contemporary Finish
Why Homeowners Choose Hand-Painted Kitchens
This bedroom transformation in Portrush was all about creating a brighter, fresher space while maintaining a warm and relaxing feel. The homeowners wanted to modernise the room with crisp, neutral colours and a flawless finish that would make the most of the natural light.
After carefully preparing every surface, we transformed the bedroom into a clean, contemporary space that perfectly complements the rest of the home.
The Brief
The existing bedroom had begun to show signs of everyday wear, with minor surface imperfections and paintwork that no longer reflected the bright, modern style the homeowners wanted.
Our aim was to create a smooth, fresh finish using premium quality paints while ensuring every detail was completed to the highest standard.
Our Preparation
As with every decorating project, preparation was the key to achieving a professional finish.
Before any painting began we:
- Protected all flooring and furniture.
- Filled minor cracks and surface imperfections.
- Sanded walls and woodwork where required.
- Caulked gaps for crisp, clean lines.
- Primed repaired areas before applying the finish coats.
Taking the time to prepare properly ensures the finished paintwork not only looks better but also lasts for years to come.
The Decorating Process
Once preparation was complete, we applied premium quality interior paint to the walls and ceiling, creating a smooth, even finish throughout the room.
The woodwork was carefully painted to complement the new colour scheme, helping to create a bright, modern appearance while retaining the character of the space.
Attention to detail throughout the project ensured sharp cutting-in, uniform coverage and a flawless finish from every angle.
The Finished Result
The completed bedroom now feels lighter, more spacious and far more contemporary.
The soft neutral colour palette reflects the natural daylight beautifully, creating a calm and relaxing environment that’s perfect for everyday living.
Combined with the freshly finished woodwork and immaculate preparation, the room now has a clean, elegant appearance that the homeowners were delighted with.

Hall, Stairs & Landing Transformation in Portstewart


Brightening a Traditional Hallway While Showcasing Beautiful Original Features
This hall, stairs and landing project in Portstewart completely transformed the entrance to the property while preserving one of its most striking features – the original stained glass window.
The homeowners wanted to replace tired, dated décor with a bright, modern finish that would allow more natural light to flow through the space and create a welcoming first impression.
With careful preparation and attention to detail, we delivered a fresh, contemporary finish that complements both the character of the home and its traditional architectural features.
The Brief
The existing hallway had become tired over the years, with aged paintwork and worn surfaces making the space feel darker than it needed to be.
The client’s priority was to brighten the entrance hall while keeping the original stained glass window as the focal point of the room.
Preparation
As with every decorating project, thorough preparation was essential to achieve a long-lasting finish.
Before painting we:
- Protected flooring, stairs and surrounding areas.
- Filled cracks, dents and minor imperfections.
- Sanded surfaces to create a smooth finish.
- Caulked gaps around woodwork for crisp, clean lines.
- Primed repaired areas before applying the final coats.
Taking the time to prepare properly ensures the finished result looks better and remains durable for years to come.
The Decorating Process
Premium quality interior paints were carefully applied to the walls, ceilings and woodwork using traditional brush and roller techniques.
Soft neutral tones were chosen to maximise the natural light entering through the beautiful stained glass window, creating a brighter and more spacious feel throughout the staircase and landing.
Every edge was carefully cut in by hand to achieve the sharp, clean finish that G&E Interior Painting is known for.
The Finished Result
The completed transformation has completely refreshed this hall, stairs and landing.
The lighter colour scheme makes the entrance feel brighter, cleaner and far more welcoming, while allowing the original stained glass window to become the centrepiece of the space.
The homeowners were delighted with the finished result, which combines modern decorating with the character and charm of this traditional Portstewart home.
