Decorating rental property between tenancies
Rental decoration is an economics problem as much as a finish problem. The goal is a property that shows well, cleans easily and can be patched in a day rather than fully repainted every tenancy.
Standardise the palette across your portfolio
One neutral wall colour and one trim colour across every property means touch-ups match, leftover material gets used, and voids are shorter because nobody is waiting on a bespoke mix.
Specify for cleaning, not just for looks
A washable matt or a durable eggshell in hallways and kitchens survives cleaning between tenancies. Standard contract matt looks fine on day one and burnishes the first time someone wipes it.
Turnaround speed
Void periods cost more than paint. Water-based systems that recoat the same day let a full property be turned around quickly without odour lingering for the incoming tenant.
Condition records
Photographs and colour references at completion make deposit discussions straightforward, because you can show exactly what the tenant received.
Common questions

What colour should I use in rentals?
A neutral, washable scheme standardised across the portfolio so touch-ups always match.
