Why choose Avenir Renovations?
Why undertake interior painting work in Switzerland
Repainting your interior walls is much more than just a decorative intervention. It is an opportunity to protect your surfaces, enhance your property, and create an environment suited to your lifestyle. In Switzerland, this work must also take into account local climatic and architectural specifics.
Protection and durability
Interior paint protects your walls from wear, stains, and moisture. A choice of quality products and professional application ensure optimal longevity, reducing the frequency of maintenance or future renovations.
Aesthetic improvement
By playing with colors, textures, and finishes, it is possible to profoundly change the atmosphere of a room. Light shades visually enlarge the space, while darker tones bring warmth and elegance to the interior.
Property enhancement
A freshly painted interior gives a neat and modern impression, increasing the perceived value of a property. This is a major asset to attract potential buyers or tenants when putting it on the market.
Steps of an interior painting project in Switzerland
The success of a painting project relies on meticulous preparation and a sequence of precise steps. At Avenir Renovations, each phase is carried out in accordance with Swiss standards and client expectations.
The different types of interior paints
The choice of paint is a crucial step to ensure a durable result that meets your expectations. Avenir Renovations guides you towards the best solutions based on the use of the room, the desired finish, and the budget.
This water-based paint has low odor and dries quickly while providing excellent stain resistance. It is ideal for living spaces and bedrooms, combining ease of maintenance with environmental respect.
More resistant to moisture and impacts, glycero paint is particularly suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, or high-traffic areas. It offers a taut and smooth finish but requires good ventilation during and after application.
It effectively hides wall imperfections and provides an elegant and understated finish. This type of paint is perfect for ceilings and spaces where light reflections are to be avoided.
Offering a good compromise between aesthetics and maintenance, satin paint slightly reflects light and is easy to clean. It is ideal for frequently used rooms such as living rooms, hallways, or children's bedrooms.
With its mirror effect, it brings brightness and depth to rooms but highlights surface defects. It should be preferred on perfectly prepared walls and in decorative spaces.

Professional painting techniques
An impeccable result depends not only on the quality of the paint but also on the techniques used. Avenir Renovations artisans apply precise methods to ensure a uniform and durable finish.
Roller application
A quick and effective technique, the roller allows for covering large surfaces with a uniform finish. It is particularly recommended for walls and ceilings, complementing brush work on delicate areas.
Brush application
The brush is used for finishes, corners, moldings, or small surfaces. This method requires precision and consistency to avoid visible marks after drying.
Spraying
Spray painting offers a perfectly smooth finish, without roller or brush marks. This technique is ideal for large surfaces and high-end finishes but requires a protected environment.
Options and finishes for interior painting
To personalize your walls and create unique effects, several finishing options can be integrated into your project. Avenir Renovations offers a wide range of textures, patterns, and specific treatments.
Decorative effect paint
It allows you to mimic materials such as polished concrete, marble, or brushed metal. This choice gives character to your rooms while remaining easy to maintain.
Eco-friendly paint
Formulated with natural components, it limits VOC emissions and preserves indoor air quality. It is the ideal solution for households concerned about the environment and health.
Washable paint
Resistant to repeated washing, it is perfect for rooms exposed to dirt such as kitchens or children's bedrooms. Its composition allows for quick cleaning without altering the color or finish.
Regulations for Interior Painting Work in Switzerland
In Switzerland, interior painting is generally considered light renovation work, but certain rules must be followed depending on the nature of the building and the type of intervention. Avenir Renovations also assists you with administrative procedures if necessary.
Permissions and Co-ownership
In a co-owned property, certain interventions may require the agreement of the property manager, especially if they impact common areas or modify the internal structure. This includes, for example, treatment of party walls or changing colors visible from the outside.
Work in Listed Buildings
If the property is listed as heritage or located in a protected area, the use of certain paints, colors, or techniques may be mandated. Avenir Renovations craftsmen adhere to these requirements to preserve the historical character while ensuring the quality of the work.
Compliance with Environmental Standards
In Switzerland, the use of low VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints is strongly encouraged, and even required in some municipalities. These products help maintain indoor air quality and protect the environment.
FAQ on Interior Painting Work in Switzerland
Do I need a permit to repaint the interior of my house?
In most cases, no permit is required to repaint the interior of a dwelling. However, in co-owned buildings or listed buildings, authorization may be necessary.

It is possible to paint year-round, but an ambient temperature between 10 and 25°C and good ventilation ensure optimal drying and better results.
