The Carina Compromise: Painting for Convenience & Comfort

Carina homes often represent the "great Australian compromise": fantastic location near major roads and amenities, with solid, sometimes dated, architecture. The painting goal is to modernise the look, maximise natural light, and choose solutions that are practical for the suburban environment.


Updating the Classic Brick Home:
The red or brown brick veneer home is an icon here. Painting the brick is a transformative but permanent decision. It's crucial to use a breathable masonry paint that won't trap moisture inside the brick cavity. A white, off-white, or light greige can completely change the home's personality, making it feel larger and more contemporary.


Alternatively, a "render and paint" approach on just the front façade can give a high-impact update. For a less drastic change, focus on updating the trim, gutters, fascia, and front door with a modern colour (charcoal, navy) to frame and enhance the existing brick.


Creating Light-Filled Interiors:
Homes on standard blocks can feel dark internally. Paint is the most effective tool to change this. Use light, reflective colours. Avoid dark feature walls in small rooms. Opt for whites with warm undertones (Dulux Vivid White is too stark; try Dulux Natural White or Lexicon Quarter). Use satin or low-sheen finishes to bounce light around.


If your home is near Old Cleveland Road, consider that interior dust may be more prevalent; a paint finish that is easy to dust or wipe down is beneficial.
