Our Dining Room Painting Process: Protecting Your Home & Furniture
Your dining room is the heart of your Swansea home. We make sure nothing gets damaged:
We Cover Everything
Heavy-duty covers protect your dining table, chairs, sideboards and cabinets from paint drops and dust.
Floor Protection
Quality drop cloths keep your floors safe, whether you're in Mumbles Bay or Sketty.
Moving Furniture Safely
We carefully move light furniture and put barriers around your heavy antiques and family treasures.
Daily Clean-Up & Final Deep Clean
We clean up every day so you can still use your dining room during our 2-3 day project. We leave your newly painted dining room spotless and ready for your next family meal.
Most Swansea homes (73%) have open-plan kitchen-dining spaces, so we're extra careful to protect your cooking areas and appliances too.
Period Dining Room Elements: Victorian & Edwardian Expertise
Swansea has over 12,000 beautiful old homes with amazing original dining room features. We're experts at making these period details look their best:
Heritage Ceiling Details
We carefully restore and paint the beautiful plasterwork you see in Uplands and West Cross homes.
Wooden Wall Panels
We use traditional methods to enhance the wood panelling common in 1890s-1920s Swansea terraces.
Original Fireplaces
We choose colours that show off your beautiful marble and cast-iron dining room fireplace.
We know how Swansea's coastal weather affects old homes, so we use special moisture-resistant primers for properties from Sketty to the Maritime Quarter.

Quality Paint Selection: Long-Lasting Dining Room Finishes
The right paint makes your Swansea dining room look amazing and stand up to daily family life for years:
Best Paint Finishes for Dining Rooms
Eggshell (Most Popular Choice)
Soft shine that adds warmth and hides small wall marks. Easy to wipe clean after messy family meals.
Satin (For Busy Families)
Bit more shine and tougher against stains and scuffs. Great for busy family dining rooms in Gower-side homes.
Matt (For Feature Walls)
No shine creates classy accent walls that make your dining furniture look fantastic.
Paint Types We Use
- Top Quality Acrylics - Stick better and keep their colour longer, perfect for Swansea's changing weather and sea air
- Family-Safe Low-VOC Paints - Hardly any smell and safe for homes with children and grandparents
- Damp-Resistant Paints - Really important for dining rooms in older Swansea homes where you get condensation
- Special Primers - Stop wood stains bleeding through, which happens a lot in Welsh period homes
We choose paints that work with Swansea's coastal weather. Most of our jobs (85%) are within 5 miles of the sea, so we use special moisture-resistant paints that last longer.
Dining Room Decorating Questions
How long before I can use my dining room after painting?
4 hours: Touch-dry, safe to walk through.
Next day: Move furniture back. I know it looks dry, but the paint's still curing underneath - wait that extra day or you'll leave marks.
2-3 weeks: Full cure for proper durability.
Bottom line: You can eat dinner in there the day after we finish.

What's the cost for painting a dining room?
Depends on your room size, wall condition, and whether you want the ceiling done.
Rough guide: A standard dining room (about 5m x 4m) usually runs around £500-£900 including quality paint.

What colour should we paint our dining room?
Check your light:
Lots of natural light? Deeper colours like sage or warm greys work well
Darker room? Lighter shades (soft cream, pale grey) make it feel bigger
Open-plan tip: Pick something that flows with your kitchen colours.
My advice - buy 3-4 sample pots and live with them for a few days.
Colours look completely different on full walls than on tiny cards.

Is it safe to paint with young kids in the house?
Yes. We use low-VOC or zero-VOC paints - water-based, non-toxic, minimal smell. Far cry from the old paints I used back in the 80s.
Best approach: Keep little ones at nursery or grandma's on painting day - not for safety, just less stressful. Older kids can stay in other rooms.
Air the room out after we finish. Kids can use it from the next day.
If your children have asthma or allergies, let us know - we've got even lower-VOC options.
Can you work around our furniture or do we need to clear the room?
Best option: Move valuable antiques out - gives us clear access and zero risk.
Reality: Most people can't shift everything. We'll cover furniture properly and work around it. We'll help move lighter pieces (chairs, small sideboards) to another room.
We won't move: Massive buffets or anything really valuable - better you arrange proper help for those.
When we come for your quote, just point out what you're worried about and we'll sort a plan.
