Hand-Painted Kitchen Transformation – Portrush
The Brief
The homeowners were happy with the existing kitchen layout, but the dark cupboard finish made the space feel tired and no longer suited the fresh, coastal look they wanted for their Portrush home.
Rather than replacing suitable cupboards, they chose to have the existing cabinetry professionally hand-painted, giving the kitchen a completely new appearance while retaining the original units.
Our Preparation & Painting Process
Careful preparation was carried out before painting to create a smooth, durable finish. The existing cupboards were thoroughly prepared before primer and furniture-quality paint were applied.
The new lighter finish was chosen to brighten the kitchen and complement the existing worktops, flooring and surrounding décor.
The Finished Result
The transformation gave the kitchen a much brighter, fresher appearance while making use of the existing cabinetry.
The finished hand-painted cupboards create a clean, modern look and show how an existing kitchen can be transformed without the expense and disruption of a full replacement.
Hand-Painted Kitchen Transformation – Coleraine
Our Coleraine client loved their kitchen layout but noticed that the plastic covering on the cupboard doors was peeling and the overall finish looked tired and outdated.
Rather than replacing the units, they chose our professional hand-painting service to refresh the existing cabinetry.
Our Work
The damaged surfaces were carefully removed before each door was prepared and finished with durable, high-quality paint.
The Finished Result
The completed kitchen has a brighter, more modern appearance while retaining the existing units, providing a cost-effective transformation without the disruption of replacing the kitchen.

Hand-Painted Kitchen Transformation – Portstewart
The Challenge
This Portstewart kitchen had solid cupboards, but the outdated finish made the space feel dark and tired. The homeowners wanted a brighter, more modern kitchen without replacing their existing cabinetry.
Our Preparation & Painting Process
To achieve a durable, professional finish, we followed our preparation-first process:
- Careful removal of handles and hardware
- Deep cleaning and degreasing of cupboard surfaces
- Sanding to ensure good paint adhesion
- Application of specialist cabinet primer
- Multiple coats of durable furniture-grade paint
- Reassembly and finishing details
The Finished Result
The kitchen was transformed into a fresh, modern space with a smooth hand-painted finish. The new colour brightened the room while retaining the quality of the original cabinetry.
Interior Painting Project – Coleraine
The Brief
A homeowner in Coleraine wanted to refresh their living room, hallway and staircase with a clean, modern look.
What We Did
- Full surface preparation
- Crack filling and sanding
- Walls and ceilings painted in neutral tones
- Woodwork refinished for crisp contrast
The Outcome
The finished space now feels brighter, cleaner and more welcoming, with sharp lines and a smooth professional finish throughout.
Kitchen Cupboard Painting – Portrush
The Starting Point
This Portrush kitchen had strong solid cupboards but a dated colour that didn’t suit the rest of the home.
Our Work
- Thorough cleaning and preparation
- Professional cabinet primer
- Hand-applied furniture-quality paint
- Hardware refitted after curing
The Result
The transformation gave the kitchen a bespoke hand-painted look at a fraction of the cost of replacing the units.
A Bright, Modern Bedroom with a Clean Contemporary Finish
This bedroom transformation in Portrush was all about creating a brighter, fresher space while maintaining a warm and relaxing feel. The homeowners wanted to modernise the room with crisp, neutral colours and a smooth professional finish that would make the most of the natural light.
The Brief
The existing bedroom had begun to show signs of everyday wear, with minor surface imperfections and paintwork that no longer reflected the bright, modern style the homeowners wanted.
Our Preparation
Before painting began we:
- Protected flooring and furniture
- Filled minor cracks and surface imperfections
- Sanded walls and woodwork where required
- Caulked gaps for crisp, clean lines
- Primed repaired areas before applying the finish coats
The Decorating Process
Once preparation was complete, we applied premium quality interior paint to the walls and ceiling, creating a smooth, even finish throughout the room.
The woodwork was carefully painted to complement the new colour scheme, helping to create a bright, modern appearance while retaining the character of the space.
The Finished Result
The completed bedroom now feels lighter, more spacious and more contemporary.
The soft neutral colour palette reflects the natural daylight beautifully, creating a calm and relaxing environment, complemented by freshly finished woodwork and careful attention to detail.
Hall, Stairs & Landing Transformation in Portstewart
Brightening a Traditional Hallway While Showcasing Beautiful Original Features
This hall, stairs and landing project in Portstewart completely transformed the entrance to the property while preserving one of its most striking features – the original stained glass window.
The homeowners wanted to replace tired, dated décor with a bright, modern finish that would allow more natural light to flow through the space and create a welcoming first impression.
With careful preparation and attention to detail, we delivered a fresh, contemporary finish that complements both the character of the home and its traditional architectural features.
The Brief
The existing hallway had become tired over the years, with aged paintwork and worn surfaces making the space feel darker than it needed to be.
The client’s priority was to brighten the entrance hall while keeping the original stained glass window as the focal point of the room.
Preparation
As with every decorating project, thorough preparation was essential to achieve a long-lasting finish.
Before painting we:
- Protected flooring, stairs and surrounding areas.
- Filled cracks, dents and minor imperfections.
- Sanded surfaces to create a smooth finish.
- Caulked gaps around woodwork for crisp, clean lines.
- Primed repaired areas before applying the final coats.
Taking the time to prepare properly ensures the finished result looks better and remains durable for years to come.
The Decorating Process
Premium quality interior paints were carefully applied to the walls, ceilings and woodwork using traditional brush and roller techniques.
Soft neutral tones were chosen to maximise the natural light entering through the beautiful stained glass window, creating a brighter and more spacious feel throughout the staircase and landing.
Every edge was carefully cut in by hand to achieve the sharp, clean finish that G&E Interior Painting is known for.
The Finished Result
The completed transformation has completely refreshed this hall, stairs and landing.
The lighter colour scheme makes the entrance feel brighter, cleaner and far more welcoming, while allowing the original stained glass window to become the centrepiece of the space.
The homeowners were delighted with the finished result, which combines modern decorating with the character and charm of this traditional Portstewart home.
Oak Kitchen Hand-Painted in Farrow & Ball Purbeck Stone – Portstewart
This solid oak kitchen in Portstewart was still in excellent condition, but the original timber finish had become dated and the homeowners wanted a lighter, more contemporary look without replacing the existing cabinetry.
The Brief
The aim was to retain the quality oak units while giving the kitchen a completely refreshed appearance that would work with the existing worktops, tiled splashback and surrounding décor.
Preparation & Hand-Painting
As with any oak kitchen, careful preparation was essential before painting. The cupboard doors, drawer fronts and fixed cabinetry were thoroughly cleaned and prepared before the appropriate primer and finishing coats were applied.
The kitchen was then hand-painted in Farrow & Ball Purbeck Stone, creating a soft grey finish that complements the existing darker worktops and splashback beautifully.
The Finished Result
The new Purbeck Stone finish has transformed the appearance of the kitchen while retaining the original oak cabinetry and layout.
The lighter colour gives the room a fresher, more contemporary feel, while the traditional hand-painted finish works particularly well with the style of the cupboard doors and glazed units.
This Portstewart project shows how a well-made oak kitchen can be given a completely new look through professional preparation and hand-painting, without the expense and disruption of replacing the kitchen.
