☕️ The Great British Cuppa Debate! 🇬🇧

Here’s one for you all — when you’ve got a tradesperson working in your home, do you offer them a tea or coffee?

I’ve worked with people who won’t lift a brush until there’s a brew in their hand… and others (like me!) who are just happy if one’s offered but never expect it. I always bring a flask anyway — it’s lovely when someone offers, but it’s not a right!

So I’m curious…
👉 Do you always offer a cuppa?
👉 Or do you think trades should bring their own?
👉 And tradespeople — what’s your take on it?

Pop your thoughts below — I reckon this one’s going to divide the room more than milk first or tea first! 😅👇

🎥 It’s all in the prep! 👷‍♂️

Before any paint hits the wall, there’s a whole lot that goes on behind the scenes.
In this clip I’m showing how I set up my sander, smooth out those surfaces, and tackle the tricky bits by hand. Then it’s onto mixing filler, repairing walls, and prepping everything for that perfect finish.

The sander’s every bit as important as a brush — trust me 😉
Keep your eyes peeled for part two where I’ll show what comes next!

✨ A few recent wallpaper feature walls, each with their own personality and style ✨

From bold geometrics to soft textures, these spaces show just how much difference a single wall can make. Whether you want to add warmth, pattern, or just a bit of wow-factor — wallpaper is back in a big way!

Each one offers its own feel — from traditional luxury to modern minimalism — and it’s always rewarding seeing how the right wallpaper can completely transform a room.

If you’ve been thinking about adding a feature wall before Christmas, now’s the perfect time to get it booked in. Sometimes a single statement wall is all it takes to refresh a whole space. I can usually price with just a photo of the wall and a link to the desired wallpaper.

Which of these styles is your favourite? 👇

🚐 When your van decides it’s still in Halloween mode… 👻

Unfortunately, my van’s gone into the workshop today — fingers crossed it’s not a continuation of the Halloween horrors! 🎃
On the bright side, it’s given me a rare chance to sit down and catch up on my books and admin (less paint, more paperwork today 😅).

While I’m grounded, I’d massively appreciate a little help from my followers…
If you could share Interiors by John Anthony with your friends, it honestly makes a world of difference.

Last week, a client gave my page a share and wrote a genuine post — that single post brought in 25 new followers. It might not sound like much, but just one person can open doors to incredible opportunities.

A few years ago, I was recommended for a simple bedroom redecoration. That job led to me becoming the family decorator… and from there, I found myself quoting for BMW, MINI, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Land Rover, and eventually Wingrove Motors. All from one person taking the time to share my name.

So if you’ve ever liked, shared, or recommended my work — thank you. 🙏 Every click and comment really does help small businesses like mine grow.

✨ Another happy customer! ✨

Nothing beats seeing feedback like this pop up in my feed — especially when it’s from someone who found me through a local recommendation! 👏

This kitchen was a short notice job that turned into one of my favourites — clean, bright, and simple with a perfect colour match. I always say: good prep, tidy work, and attention to detail make all the difference.

I’m chuffed they’ve already booked me again for their hallway and landing next — repeat customers are the best sign you’re doing something right.

Thanks again for trusting Interiors by John Anthony to get the job done 🙌

🎨 Gloss? Satinwood? Eggshell? Here’s what really causes that yellowing… 👇

Something I get asked a lot when I go to look at jobs is —
💬 “Can I have satinwood instead of gloss? I’ve heard it stays white.”

Here’s the truth — it’s not about the finish, it’s about the type of paint!
Whether it’s gloss, satinwood or eggshell — if it’s solvent-based, it will yellow over time without enough UV light ☀️

Ever moved an ornament on a sunny windowsill and found a yellow mark left behind? That’s exactly why! The UV light couldn’t reach that spot.

✅ The solution?
Use a fully water-based system.
They’re:

Quick-drying ⏱️

Low odour 👃

Long-lasting 🤍

And they stay white!

I switched to water-based systems a while ago, and honestly, the technology has come so far that the finish and adhesion now rival solvent-based paints — without the downsides.

So next time you’re planning a decorating job, remember: it’s not about satin vs gloss — it’s about solvent vs water-based. 💡

Do you prefer a glossy or satin finish in your home? Let me know below 👇

🏡 Working locally today on Marden Estate!

This morning I’ve been working just around the corner from where I went to high school — back on Marden Estate. Always nice being back in familiar territory!

As I was driving in, I passed Drew from Drew’s Car Care, who went to the very same high school. Drew has built a quality business, specialising in vehicle valets, machine polishing and even driveway cleaning 🚗✨ His business is well known across North Tyneside and I don't doubt many of you will already know the name.

I’ve used Drew myself and can honestly say his work is top-quality — he’s professional, friendly, and takes real pride in what he does. Loads of my own clients have used him too and always speak really highly of his work.

So if you’re local and looking to get your car or drive looking like new again, give Drew’s Car Care a shout — top bloke, great service, and another brilliant example of local business done right

❄️ Remember folks… it’s never too early to snow! 😅☃️

I was reminded of this photo taken 7 years ago in Consett at this exact time — proper winter weather that was! 🌨️

It’s hard to believe how quickly the years (and the seasons) come around, but this is your friendly reminder that we’re well on our way to that time of year again…

Whether it’s snow, rain, or shine, I’m still out there keeping homes looking their best all year round 🏠🎨

🎨 New Week, New Project — Backworth Park Estate 🍽️✨

Back on Backworth Park Estate again this week — one of my favourite places to work — and this time it’s a kitchen repaint that’s getting the full Interiors by John Anthony treatment.

Here’s a little look at the before photos 👀 — a blank canvas that’s about to be completely refreshed and brought back to life with a cleaner, crisper, brighter finish.

Kitchens really are the heart of the home, and a new coat of paint can make all the difference — whether you’re freshening things up, modernising the space, or just giving it that “new home” feeling again.

I’ll share the after shots very soon once everything’s complete — keep an eye out, because this one’s going to look fantastic.

If you’re in Backworth Park Estate (or nearby!) and fancy giving your kitchen or any other room a facelift before Christmas 🎄, drop me a message. I’m always happy to help bring your ideas to life.
