IKEA North Lakes – 200 Colours and Counting

8 April 2025
IKEA North Lakes has had its entire interior painting undertaken by no other than the professional team at Wilko Painters.

The IKEA North Lakes, Brisbane, Queensland project had an array of crucial factors to consider for it to become the painting success it is today. Thankfully, the local and trustworthy team at Wilko Painters were on-the-job, with broad technical knowledge and expertise of these types of commercial/warehouse projects.

Project management and timing was key in the delivery of this mammoth project, and Wilko Painters’ project manager handled staff and deadlines expertly – of course! With huge anticipation nationally regarding IKEA North Lakes grand opening, delivering was huge. Commanding the space with equipped staff and fluent team cooperation saw this interior commercial colouring project through to perfect execution.

Paint product used had to be durable and able to handle the activities of shifting showrooms and area re-designing. With multiple different sections within IKEA, each with their own colour palette and tones, paint requirements were given detailed thought so to produce the outstanding and colourful work which is currently spread over the interior walls of IKEA North Lakes.

Considering the enormity of the project, efficiency and execution were of great importance; with 12 accomplished painters putting in excess of 3000 man hours saw IKEA North Lakes interior completely painted in 10 weeks – on time, on budget! But of course, as Wilko Painters are the experts for commercial warehouse painting jobs such as this one.

Sustainability – with one eye on the future and mindful of its Duty of Care, Wilko Painters thoughtfully washed and reused 51 brushes and 30 roller sleeves – without hindering efficiency! Bearing in mind paint drying times and the number of colours used for IKEA, including sustainability and environment in their work is a true trait of dedicated professionals.

Wilko Painters used an assortment of over 200 different Dulux paint colours at IKEA North lakes. Work intensive designs, including triangle patterns and more, required the capable and masterful staff of Wilko. Wilko Painters is an accredited Dulux partner – and for good reason!

IKEA now stands with fresh walls of interior paint, delivered on budget, on time with sustainability and complexity considered for the most effective approach. Wilko Painters are the obvious choice, with an accountable and broad record of residential and commercial projects – is yours next?
