Decorating Tools for Decorating

Let’s face it, painting a room sounds simple—until you’re halfway through with a cheap roller, splashes on the floor, and brush hairs stuck to the wall. That’s where good tools come in.

We stock decorating tools we actually use ourselves. No gimmicks—just solid gear that helps you get better results with less hassle. Whether you're giving one wall a new look or redoing the whole house, the right kit can save you time, effort, and a lot of swearing.

Types of Decorating Tools

We’re not here to overload you with stuff. Here’s what most folks need for a typical paint job:

• Brushes – Different sizes for different jobs. A smaller angled one for edges, a wider flat one for bigger areas. Ours don’t shed all over your fresh paint.
• Rollers – These get walls done fast. Pick the right nap depending on whether you’ve got smooth or bumpy walls.
• Scrapers – Before painting, you’ll want a scraper to get rid of old flaking paint or leftover wallpaper.
• Filling Knives – Use these to patch up dents or nail holes so you’re not painting over a mess.
• Dust Sheets – Cover your sofa, your floor, your dog—anything you don’t want splattered.
• Masking Tape – Helps you get neat edges and avoid paint getting where it shouldn’t.
• Paint Trays – So you’re not dipping your roller straight into the tin (please don’t do that).

You don’t need every tool under the sun—but the right few will make the job a whole lot easier.

Tool Maintenance Tips

Quick tip: clean your brushes and rollers properly after each job. Water’s fine for emulsion, but if you're using oil-based paint, grab a proper cleaner. Dry them out before storing or they’ll go crusty and useless next time. We sell brush cleaners and tool organisers too, in case you want to do it properly.

Interior Decorating Tools

Painting indoors means working around corners, narrow spaces, awkward edges—you know the drill. That’s why we’ve got short-handled brushes, edging tools, and rollers small enough to squeeze behind radiators or inside built-in units.

If you’re sealing up cracks or smoothing out filler before painting, check out our putty knives and caulking guns—makes prep work way easier. And if you’re hanging wallpaper or lining up panels, grab a level and a tape measure—you don’t want it all going up at a wonky angle.

Decorative Painting Tools

Flat white walls are fine. But if you want to do something a bit different—add a bit of texture or detail—we’ve got tools for that too.

• Sponges – Dab on glaze or colour for a softer, layered look.
• Stencils – Add a repeating pattern or design without needing a steady hand.
• Texture Rollers – These leave patterns in the paint—great for a feature wall.
• Dragging Brushes – Pull through glaze to get subtle fabric or woodgrain effects.
• Palette Knives – Apply plaster or heavy paint in layers for a rustic, textured vibe.

Best to try the technique on a bit of card or a hidden patch before doing the whole wall. And remember—some of these finishes need layering and drying time. If you're doing an accent wall or a creative space, these tools help you get it right.
