One of the most frequent calls we receive in autumn-winter is from homeowners who haven't painted the house they live in for eight or ten years. They’ve realised that the walls are no longer white; they're an indefinable greyish-yellow. Mediterranean light is very unforgiving on walls. Cheap white paints yellow due to slow oxidation, especially in rooms with direct sun or near the kitchen where steam and airborne oil are present. Furniture marks, splashes from the passage of time, and small knocks on corners are cumulative. Matte plastic paint is the standard option for ceilings and walls in rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. It provides a uniform finish without reflections, hides surface imperfections, and is easy to apply. For high-traffic areas (corridors, stairs, hallways) and children's rooms where walls get dirtier, we recommend washable satin plastic paint, which has a very slight sheen but allows stains to be cleaned with a damp cloth without damaging the paint.

Solid wood is the traditional, robust, restorable, and durable option. Its downside is seasonal movement with humidity: in humid summers, it absorbs water and swells; in dry winters, it contracts. This can cause some doors to rub against the frame in July-August and show noticeable gaps in January-February. For homes inhabited all year in areas with stable humidity, this isn't a problem. For holiday homes with long closed periods or intermittent heating, the movement is more noticeable. A highly requested improvement today is combining a motorised blind with a roller mosquito net integrated into the same box. This allows both the blind and the mosquito net to operate independently, both hidden when not in use. It is the standard solution in modern new construction. For renovations of existing homes, it requires replacing the entire box with a new, deeper one that accommodates both systems. Yes, when they are large, on high floors, or if there is difficulty in mobility. The investment pays for itself in comfort within one season.

Changing door handles is the most aesthetically cost-effective improvement. A new handle of medium quality (chrome-plated or lacquered steel) changes the perception of the door and lasts 20-30 years without issues. For bathrooms and bedrooms, handles with a simple internal lock. For exterior doors leading to a patio or terrace, we recommend a quality cylinder lock if there is a risk of intrusion. A modern and well-installed interior door perceptibly changes the feel of a room. An old, painted solid wood door from the 80s, with worn hinges that rub the floor and a loose handle, immediately lowers the perceived quality of the space. Replacing it with a modern lacquered MDF or multi-layered door with concealed adjustable hinges and a quality handle costs a reasonable amount and will last another 30-40 years without seasonal movement or the need for periodic varnishing.

Solid parquet is the traditional option. Each plank is 100 per cent natural solid wood, typically oak, ash, or walnut. Much more expensive to purchase and install, but it gives a unique character to the room because each plank has a distinct natural grain. Its great advantage is indefinite durability. If it wears out or gets damaged, it can be sanded and re-varnished multiple times during its lifespan. This is what was used in old, high-end apartments and what we recommend for premium home renovations where the budget allows.
