Ventilation during painting — strong paint fumes near food preparation areas
Natural light varies significantly in Georgian townhouses kitchens — we recommend testing paint samples at different times of day before committing to a colour.
The Somerset climate means kitchens in Bath may be prone to condensation — choosing the right anti-mould paint is important for lasting results.
