Painting your bookcases allows you to align them with wall colors, trim, or other cabinetry — creating a cohesive, intentional design that elevates the entire space.
We typically spray the flat surfaces for a flawless finish and use fine brushes or mohair rollers on trim and edges as needed. This combination ensures complete coverage and clean results.
The timeline depends on the size and number of shelves or surfaces involved, but we’ll provide a clear estimate before the project begins — so you’ll know exactly what to expect and when.
We typically use high-quality waterborne enamel with a satin or semi-gloss finish. This type of paint provides durability, easy cleaning, and a smooth look that works beautifully on bookcases.
Yes, we highly recommend removing all books and décor items from the shelves before painting. Books can block paint or stick to shelves if returned too early. We’ll guide you on when it’s safe to place everything back after the project.
Once the paint is fully cured, the surface becomes stable and safe for all types of books, including leather-bound volumes. We also allow proper dry time before reloading shelves to avoid transfer or damage.
