Feng Shui is basically an environmental science and its origins are simple. It is based on an interpretation of the natural world which enabled the Chinese to create efficient agricultural systems, and also the study of the movement of heavenly bodies in order to determine the passage of time. Over the centuries, the interpretation grew more complex and became removed from its original purpose. Present day North London and Enfield residence fail to even mention Feng Shui to us Painters and Decorators. Has it been lost? As its exponents spread out from China across the world, their beliefs altered to fit into local beliefs and customs and, inevitably, folklore and superstition grew up around them. Fortunately, the ancient Chinese preserved the information in written form. In essence, all societies retain the knowledge contained in Feng Shui, but it has become absorbed into different disciplines. In China

Summer is coming and for a lot of people, that means holidays are, too. If you’ve decided to use your Summer holiday to get things in order in your home, you might be contemplating painting. Exterior painting can be tricky but not impossible during the summer. Since you can’t control the weather, here are some tips for planning your summer paint job: 1. Paint in the early mornings or late evenings when the temperatures are cooler. 2.Don’t paint when it’s windy because dust and debris can stick to wet paint. 3. Don’t paint in direct sunlight. The quality of the paint job depends on surface temperature, not just the air. 4. Surface preparation is the most important in summer months. Somers painters recommend that surface prep should take as long as the paint job. 5. Avoid the hottest days. The heat can cause the paint to dry too quickly, ruining the

Tiny spaces aren't bad things - in fact, we love them here at Absolute Decorating Enfield! Finding room to function in such a small spot is not always so easy. The decorating rules that apply to other rooms go out the window when space is tight, and it takes major creativity to fit everything in. Here are some Painting and Decorating Tips to make the most of your Small Space. Steer clear of these common mistakes; Think horizontally, not vertically. Choose a vertical wardrobe instead of the typical horizontal dresser for your clothes, and take advantage of wall space with floating shelves. Since when are side tables just side tables?

Light hues create the illusion of more space, as do mirrors. If you need

A bright throw or a patterned pillow will do the trick Brightly coloured elements can also last into the spring and summer.

Primer comes before paint. Primer brings out the paint’s true colour. DON’T SKIP THIS PART! Paint like a pro. Use an edge pad for clean lines around doorframes, ceiling edges and corners so your walls look professional. Create a sticky situation.

A freshly painted wall may often look blotchy. The colour is the same all over, but the sheen isn't consistent. This usually occurs over cracks and holes you had patched with a filler. The fillers absorb the paint, making the surface look dull. When light hits these dull spots, they stick out like a sore thumb. A coat of primer is all it takes to eliminate the texture differences. Primer seals the patch so paint won't sink in and look dull. To match texture, prime with a roller, feathering out the edges. Choose a nap thickness to match the surrounding wall texture. If you’ve filled your wall previously and do not want to go through all the trouble of primer and the dull spot at the end, call in the professionals! We are a trusted Enfield based painting and decorating company with over 30 years experience. If you

The colour of your door can affect the feeling a visitor towards entering your house. This could be calmness, excitement, or possibly even fear (with a bad paint job!)

You can be the first on the cul-de-sac to do something bold, but ask for input from your association if you have one.   If you would like a trusted professional to help you get the job done, call
