BK Decor Painting and Decorating - Monthly Blog Post

I’ll be honest, I never imagined I’d be writing a blog for my painting business. But as BK Decor has grown and I’ve had more conversations with clients, I’ve realised just how many people share the same questions, concerns, and curiosities about painting, colour, and home projects. This blog is my way of answering those questions, sharing what I’ve learned on the tools, and giving you a behind‑the‑scenes look at the work we do.

Each month, I’ll dive into topics that genuinely help homeowners make confident decisions, which could include;

  • Painters’ rates and what actually goes into a professional quote

  • Trending colours and how to use them well

  • How to choose the right white for your space

  • My favourite painting products and why I trust them

  • The secret to achieving a flawless finish

  • Meet‑the‑team features

  • Specialty finishes and feature wall ideas

From practical advice, colour insights and the occasional cheeky discount for those following along, you’ll get a mix of education, inspiration, and updates from our current projects.

If there’s a topic you’d love to see covered, feel free to reach out. The goal of this blog is simple - to share helpful, honest information about painting, colour, and the work we do every day.

COLOUR SCHEDULE

Download your free colour schedule template here!

Have you ever gone to repaint a room only to realise you’ve kept four different paint tins just to remember which colour went where? A simple colour schedule solves that problem instantly.

Download the template, record your paint colours, finishes, and brands, and you’ll always have the information you need without the clutter or guesswork. It’s an easy way to stay organised and make future touchups stress free.

COLOUR CONSULTATIONS

There’s another side of BK Decor that often flies under the radar, our in‑house colour consulting service. My wife, Sarah, works behind the scenes in our admin team, but she also brings over a decade of colour expertise to our clients. With more than 10 years’ experience in colour, she has an incredible ability to see potential in spaces that many people overlook. Her passion lies in helping homeowners create environments that feel cohesive, intentional, and genuinely loved.

If you’re feeling unsure about colour choices or struggling to pull a scheme together, Sarah is available for personalised colour consultations and interior design guidance. She’d be delighted to help you create a palette that feels right for your home.

Onsite 90min consultations - $195 plus GST

You will also receive a colour schedule and paint swatches sent to your home.

As we wrap up this month’s blog, we’re excited for the projects ahead and grateful for the homes we’ve been trusted to transform. Our calendar always fills quickly as we move further into the year, so if you’re considering painting your home, now is the perfect time to reach out and discuss availability. Securing your quote early means you can lock in a tentative date even if your project is still a few months away.

Every job begins with an onsite visit so we can understand the full scope of work and provide an accurate, obligation free quote. If you’d like to book a time for us to come out and assess your project, you can get in touch with us here.

I look forward to seeing you here next month.

Good luck,

Baz.
