Interior Painting
Warm Neutral Main Floor
Private residence · Russell, Ontario · Completed June 2026
Project overview
The living, dining and kitchen areas were carrying heavy red accent walls that darkened the whole floorplan and fought with the dark hardwood and cabinetry. The owners were preparing for resale and wanted a calm, modern envelope that would photograph well and appeal broadly. We blocked the red completely, carried one warm neutral across every wall, and brought the ceilings and trim back to a crisp white.

“The red is completely gone — no shadow, no bleed-through. The main floor feels bigger and brighter and it showed beautifully.”
