Exterior paint typically lasts 5 to 10 years, depending on factors like climate, the type of surface, and the quality of paint used. Homes exposed to harsh sun, coastal weather, or heavy rain may need repainting more often—every 4 to 7 years. Timber surfaces tend to need more frequent maintenance, while brick or rendered exteriors may last longer. Regular inspections and touch-ups can help extend the life of your paint job.

The finish you choose affects both the look and durability of your paint.

• Matte (Flat): Has no shine, ideal for ceilings and low-traffic areas. Hides imperfections well but can be hard to clean.
• Satin (Low-Sheen): Offers a soft, velvety finish with mild reflectivity. Great for walls, especially in living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms. Easier to wipe clean than matte.
• Gloss (and Semi-Gloss): Shiny and highly durable, perfect for doors, trims, and kitchens. It’s easy to clean but highlights wall imperfections.

Most interior paint jobs last 7 to 10 years under normal conditions. However, high-traffic areas like hallways, kitchens, and kids’ rooms may show wear sooner—sometimes after 3 to 5 years. Using high-quality paint and proper prep work can extend the life of your interior walls. Touch-ups and regular cleaning can also keep your paint looking fresh for longer.

If you’re after a flawless, long-lasting result, hiring a professional painter is usually worth the investment. Pros bring years of experience, the right tools, and can finish the job faster—often with better surface preparation and attention to detail.

DIY painting can be rewarding and more budget-friendly, but it takes time, skill, and effort to achieve professional-level results, especially on exteriors or tricky surfaces.

The cost to paint a 3-bedroom house in Australia varies based on factors like size, surface condition, and whether it’s interior or exterior work.

• Interior painting generally typiclally costs less than exteriors.
• Exterior painting are dependant on access, surface materials, and prep needed.
• Getting multiple quotes from local painters is the best way to find an accurate price for your specific home.

Lighter colours are your best friend when it comes to making small spaces feel more open. Soft whites, off-whites, light greys, pale blues, and warm neutrals can reflect natural light and give the illusion of more space. Using the same colour on walls and ceilings, or opting for a low-contrast palette, can also visually expand the room. Avoid dark shades and heavy feature walls, which can make a space feel closed in.

In Australia, the best time to paint your home’s exterior is during the milder months—typically spring and autumn. These seasons offer more stable weather, avoiding the extremes of summer heat or winter moisture. Painting in cooler temperatures helps paint dry evenly and reduces the risk of blistering or cracking. Aim for days between 15°C and 30°C, with low humidity and no rain in the forecast.

Peeling or flaking paint is often caused by poor surface preparation, moisture issues, or using the wrong type of paint. To avoid it:

• Always clean and dry surfaces before painting.
• Use primer on bare or patched areas.
• Choose high-quality paint suited to the surface and conditions (e.g., exterior-rated paints for outdoor use).
• Fix any moisture leaks or dampness before painting.
• Proper prep and using the right products are key to long-lasting results.

For most jobs, two coats of paint is standard and recommended for full coverage and durability. The first coat provides the base colour, while the second ensures evenness and hides any streaks or imperfections.

In some cases—like painting over a similar colour or using paint-and-primer-in-one—you might get away with one coat.

However, dark colours, drastic colour changes, or porous surfaces may require a third coat or a dedicated primer.

Weatherboard homes need flexible, weather-resistant paint that can withstand Australia’s harsh climate. A high-quality acrylic exterior paint is usually the best option, as it expands and contracts with the timber, preventing cracking and peeling. Look for paints rated for UV resistance and durability, and consider a satin or low-sheen finish to mask imperfections while offering easy maintenance. Proper prep and regular upkeep will keep your weatherboards looking sharp for years.
