Decorating your woodwork by adding colour to your skirting, doors, bannisters and furniture is a great way to enjoy the best of both worlds: a neutral scheme with your favourite accent colours.

If you’re planning a refresh, we’d recommend Lick Supreme - our highest-performing paint that is uniquely made for multiple rooms and surfaces, making it the best choice for woodwork.

Note: don’t forget to prep your woodwork for the best long-lasting results. Lightly sand (180-grit sandpaper) and add a coat of water-based primer if your woodwork has been previously painted or varnished.

Frame it differently...

When it comes to painting doors, doorframes (or both), create a seamless look using one colour to blur the lines between elements of the room. Or, let the woodwork do the talking with neutral walls and bold doorframes or architraves.

Bannisters

Wardrobes

After a more creative way to add colour to your home? Try colour drenching your walls, ceiling, woodwork and wardrobes in a single colour for maximum effect, or, to make them a focal feature, paint them in a bolder or darker accent colour.
