If you want to transform your interior walls but don’t particularly like any paint colour options and want something a bit more unique, rendering might be the best option for you. Although rendering exterior surfaces is the more common choice, there is nothing wrong with applying render to indoor walls as well. You may be surprised by how much you love it.

Although painting interior walls has become the most common way to decorate the surfaces inside your home, more people are beginning to choose render as an affordable and effective design option.

What is the Difference Between Paint and Render?

Paint is popular for a reason – it’s easy to apply, and there are many different shades and colours to choose from. It can instantly transform a space and has become more durable over the years

Render can be applied over many different surfaces and, like paint, can also come in various finishes. As well as being aesthetically pleasing, rendering also has functional purposes: it can protect from the elements and add insulation to your home.

Why Should You Render Your Interior Walls?

  • Affordable and effective: Rendering your interior walls adds interest and texture to your walls without having to resort to the more expensive options of textured finishes like stone or brick.
  • Modernise: If you have old-fashioned brick walls in your home, applying render over them will breathe new life into it and make it more modern.
  • Contrast: Rendering can work especially well for feature walls. It results in a nice contrast to other materials that can be found in your home, like linen, stone and stainless steel.
  • Cover up damp spots: For practical uses, rendering has often been used to cover up damp spots. The original plaster may rot and crumble if the moisture in the walls continues to spread. This is especially relevant in kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms, which can benefit from the water-resistant properties that concrete rendering has.
  • Versatile: Rendering can work well in any room. You can choose to render just one feature wall or multiple walls.
  • Cover up imperfections: If you have an older home, the brickwork and masonry may not be in good condition. Rendering over a wall that is showing its age can cover up any imperfections and give the wall a much-needed facelift.
  • Add texture: Using a render that has a textured finish adds interest and warmth to a room. Hamish Guthrie, the Co-Founding Director of Melbourne design firm Hecker Guthrie, states that “Texture offers a natural, organic quality and connects us to a more innate design.”
