Dublin Deco Painting brings a tidy, professional approach to interior painting for homes and businesses across Dublin. Whether you are refreshing a single room, redecorating a whole house, or preparing a property for sale or rent, our team handles the full job from preparation to the final coat.
We start by protecting your floors and furniture, then fill, sand and prime surfaces so the finish lasts. From walls and ceilings to skirting boards, doors and trim, we use quality paints suited to each room — including washable finishes for kitchens, hallways and high-traffic areas.
We work to a clear schedule, keep the workspace clean as we go, and tidy up properly when the job is done. Colour advice is available if you are unsure where to start.
What interior painting includes
As interior painters in Dublin, we cover the full inside of a property, not just the walls. A typical job includes:
- Walls — filled, sanded and finished in the colour and sheen you choose.
- Ceilings — ceiling painting in a clean matt white or a colour to suit the room.
- Woodwork — skirting boards, architraves, doors, window boards and stairs, finished in satin, eggshell or gloss.
- Feature work — a single feature wall, alcoves, panelling or a coloured ceiling where you want a bit of contrast.
We are a fully insured, family-run team that has been painting Dublin homes since 2017, working on both period and modern properties.
Our preparation process
Most of the work that makes a paint job last happens before the first coat. We protect floors, carpets and furniture with dust sheets, then fill cracks and holes, sand surfaces back, and prime any bare or patched areas. For sanding we use machines connected to specialised vacuums, which keeps dust to a minimum so you can keep living in the house while we work. Old flaking paint, damp patches and tired woodwork are dealt with at this stage, not painted over.
Paints and finishes we use
We use quality trade paints and match the finish to how the room is used. As a guide:
| Room / surface | Finish we usually recommend | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchens, bathrooms, hallways | Washable / wipeable matt or satin | Stands up to steam, splashes and scuffs |
| Living rooms and bedrooms | Standard or low-sheen matt emulsion | Hides minor wall imperfections, soft look |
| Skirting, doors and trim | Satin or eggshell (gloss on request) | Durable and easy to wipe clean |
| Ceilings | Matt emulsion | No glare, hides unevenness |
Before we start we agree a clear colour and finish schedule — which colours go where, and whether you want matt, satin or gloss — so there are no surprises on the day.
Rooms and projects we cover
Interior painting in Dublin covers a wide range of jobs, and we handle them all:
- Whole-house repaints — every room, including the hall, stairs and landing, done room by room to a set schedule.
- Single rooms — a bedroom, living room or kitchen refresh without disrupting the rest of the house.
- Rental refreshes — fast, tidy turnarounds for landlords and letting agents between tenancies.
- New builds and renovations — first decoration of a new home, or finishing after building work.
If the job runs outside the house too, we also offer exterior painting and kitchen cabinet painting, so one team can handle the whole property.
How much interior painting costs
Every house is different, so we quote per job rather than a fixed price list. The main things that affect the cost are the number of rooms, ceiling height, the condition of the walls and woodwork, and whether colours are changing dramatically (which can mean an extra coat). For a full breakdown of typical interior painting cost per room in Ireland and other jobs, see our Dublin painting and decorating price guide.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to paint a room?
A standard bedroom or living room is usually one to two days, including preparation and two coats. A full house repaint depends on size and condition — we give a realistic timeline with the quote.
Do I need to move out while you paint?
No. We work room by room, keep everything covered and tidy as we go, and our low-dust sanding setup means most people stay living in the house throughout.
Can you help me choose colours?
Yes. Colour advice is part of the service. We can talk through options and agree a colour and finish schedule before any painting starts.
Which areas of Dublin do you cover?
We are based in Lucan/Adamstown and cover Dublin city centre, north county Dublin and south county Dublin, plus the Kildare, Meath and Wicklow commuter belt.
