Interior Painting and Finishing in Lagos, Nigeria
We deliver Interior Painting and Finishing in Lagos for homes, offices and shops, preparing every wall and ceiling properly before applying primers, emulsions and protective coats that last.
Interior Painting and Finishing by My Space Design
Paint is the finish people see first and touch most often, so our Interior Painting and Finishing in Lagos starts with the surface underneath. We scrape loose paint, fill cracks and holes with filler, sand plastered walls smooth and seal powdery or patched areas with a primer. On new buildings we allow fresh plaster and skim coats to dry and cure before any paint goes on. This preparation decides how long the colour stays clean and even.
Lagos weather is hard on interior walls. High humidity, rain driven through window frames and condensation in kitchens and bathrooms lead to mould, peeling and staining. We choose paint systems for each room: washable emulsion for living areas and hallways, moisture resistant and anti mould paint for wet rooms, and satin or gloss enamel for doors, skirting and frames. Ceilings receive a flat finish that hides small surface marks.
Our finishing work also includes textured coatings, Venetian plaster effects, smooth skim finishes and varnish or lacquer on timber surfaces. We agree colour schemes with you using sample patches on site, and where you want to see the result first, our 3D Interior Design Visualization shows each room in its chosen palette. Clients from Ipaja, Alimosho and across Lagos receive a written cost estimate covering preparation, materials and every coat before painting starts.
Scope of work
What our interior painting and finishing work covers
Surface preparation
We wash walls, scrape flaking paint, rake out and fill cracks, sand filler flush and spot prime bare plaster. Damp patches are traced to their source and treated before decoration, so the new paint bonds firmly to a sound surface.
Wall and ceiling emulsion
We apply a mist coat on new plaster followed by two full coats of matt, silk or washable emulsion. Ceilings are cut in cleanly at cornices and light fittings, with rollers and brushes chosen for each surface texture.
Woodwork and metal finishes
Doors, frames, skirting boards, handrails and burglary proof bars receive degreasing, sanding, undercoat and a gloss or satin topcoat. Metal surfaces get a rust inhibiting primer first to stop corrosion spreading under the paint film.
Textured and decorative effects
For feature walls and reception areas we apply textured paint, sand finish coatings, Venetian plaster and metallic glazes. Each effect is tested on a sample board so you approve the pattern, sheen and colour depth before application.
Moisture and mould treatment
Kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms receive fungicidal wash, moisture resistant primer and anti mould paint. We also seal around window frames and check for leaking pipes, since water ingress is the main cause of blistering in Lagos interiors.
Timber varnishing and lacquering
Hardwood doors, staircases, panelling and built in units are sanded, stained to your chosen tone and sealed with polyurethane varnish or lacquer. Multiple thin coats with light sanding between them give a hard, even and wipeable surface.
Our process
How we paint and finish an interior in Lagos
- Step 1
Site survey and colour samples
We inspect every wall, ceiling and timber surface, note cracks and damp, measure areas and paint sample patches so you can judge each colour in daylight and under your own lighting.
- Step 2
Cost estimate and room order
You receive a cost estimate listing preparation work, paint brands and grades, number of coats and rooms covered. Once approved, we agree the room order so you can keep using parts of the property.
- Step 3
Protection and preparation
Floors, furniture, sockets and fittings are covered and masked. Our painters then fill, sand, prime and treat surfaces, and our supervisor checks the prepared walls before the first finishing coat is applied.
- Step 4
Final coats and handover
We apply the finishing coats, cut in edges, remove masking, touch up any marks and clean the rooms. You walk through each space with us and sign off once every surface meets the agreed finish.

Questions
Interior Painting and Finishing FAQs
How much does interior painting cost in Lagos?
The cost of Interior Painting and Finishing in Lagos depends on the wall and ceiling area, the condition of the surfaces, the number of coats and the paint grade you choose. We inspect the property and prepare a cost estimate before any work starts.
Which paint is best for bathrooms and kitchens?
For wet and steamy rooms we use a fungicidal wash, a moisture resistant primer and an anti mould emulsion or satin finish. These products resist condensation, wipe clean easily and help prevent the black spotting common in humid Lagos homes.
Can you paint while we still live in the house?
Yes. We work room by room, cover furniture and floors, and use low odour water based paints where possible. Our team clears and cleans each room at the end of the working day so the household can continue using it.
Do you fix cracks and damp before painting?
Yes. Surface repair is part of our Interior Painting and Finishing in Lagos. We fill and bridge cracks, cut out blown plaster, treat damp patches and trace leaks to their source, so the finished paint sits on a sound and dry wall.
