In the world of Hamptons interior design, bright white has long been the gold standard. However, trends are shifting toward sophisticated, moody palettes that bring a sense of grounding and modern luxury to coastal homes. This week, the Carlson Paint and Paper team was onsite in the Hamptons performing a dramatic transformation. We took a traditional, bright white kitchen and utilized our professional cabinet spraying techniques to deliver a stunning, modern dark finish. Why

The professional painting community is about to hit the Big Apple, and you won’t want to miss this. This Friday evening at 5:00 PM, we are hosting a massive "Paint Fam" Meetup at the iconic W Hotel in New York City.

The Paint Fam is getting together again, and this is one event you don’t want to miss. The Pretty Boy Paint Fest has quickly become one of the most exciting gatherings in the painting industry. What started as a simple way for painters to connect has grown into a full-blown festival where contractors from all over the United States come together to learn, test products, and have a great time.

At Carlson Paint and Paper, we often tell our clients that a high-end finish is only as good as the preparation underneath it. While the paint gets all the glory, the tools used to prep the surface are the real heroes. That is why our trailers are stocked with Festool products. When we are on-site—whether it’s a detailed cabinet refinishing job or a full interior transformation—Festool allows us to achieve a level of precision that standard power tools simply can't match. 1.

Upgrading your kitchen doesn't always require a sledgehammer and a massive renovation budget. Refinishing your cabinets is one of the most impactful ways to transform your home’s aesthetic. At Carlson Paint and Paper, we specialize in professional finishes that look like they came straight from the factory.

Wallpaper is more than just decoration - it’s a design tool that can completely change the mood of a room. Here are some reasons why I believe residential wallpaper solutions are worth considering!

At Carlson Paint and Paper , we believe that your kitchen cabinets are more than just storage—they are the centerpiece of your home’s aesthetic. We recently wrapped up a refinishing project that perfectly illustrates our commitment to "doing it right." While many might view cabinet painting as a quick DIY weekend project, achieving a factory-smooth, durable finish requires a blend of artisan patience and professional-grade technology. Here is a look behind the scenes at how w

At Carlson Paint and Paper, we believe that a flawless finish is 10% paint and 90% preparation. That is why we are constantly on the lookout for the best tools in the industry to bring to our clients across Long Island. Today, we took our commitment to quality on-site to Massapequa for a special collaboration. Dane Carlson was in the field with the team from Blue Dolphin Tape, filming some incredible behind-the-scenes content and putting their professional-grade products t

Before your wallpaper installation even begins, proper preparation is what ensures a flawless final result. At Carlson Paint & Paper, we take the time to get every surface ready the right way. This includes full site protection to keep your home clean and protected throughout the process. Floors, furniture, and surrounding areas are carefully covered so you can feel confident that your space is being respected from start to finish.

When homeowners think about hiring a painter, they usually focus on the finished products, such as beautiful walls, crisp trim lines, and fresh color. But one of the most important parts of any professional painting project happens before the first drop of paint is applied.

At Carlson Paint & Paper, we’re always looking for ways to make the job a little more efficient. Anyone who has spent time painting windows and doors knows that masking glass can take a lot of time, especially when you’re dealing with multiple panes. Recently, I started experimenting with Masking Liquid H2O from Associated Paint to see if it can help simplify some of that process. What the Product Does Masking Liquid H2O is a water-based masking coating designed to peel easil

What an incredible week in Orlando for the PCA Event! We had an absolutely amazing time connecting with so many members of the Paint Fam and representing some outstanding brands at the Titan and Arroworthy booths.

If you’ve been paying attention to interior design trends, you already know: wallpaper is officially back, and in 2026, it’s leading the way. What was once considered old-fashioned is now the most talked-about design choice in homes across Suffolk County and beyond. From bold statement walls to subtle textured neutrals, wallpaper has become the go-to solution for homeowners who want something more than just paint.

We’re excited to share that Carlson Paint & Paper will be attending the PCA Event at the Disney Swan Convention Center, and we can’t wait to connect with the paint community in one of the most iconic locations in Orlando.

If you’re expecting a little one, everything suddenly feels more meaningful. Colors matter more. Details matter more. The space you’re creating isn’t just a room—it’s a place filled with comfort, love, and memories waiting to be made.

Your dedication to the Paint Fam does not go unnoticed. It was truly awesome connecting with painters from near and far, sharing stories, laughs, and plenty of paint talk throughout the night.

Welcome back to Wallpaper Wednesday, where we celebrate the projects that let us do what we love most which is bringing walls to life. Wallpaper has a way of completely transforming a space, and we’ve had the opportunity to work on some truly incredible installs across Long Island and beyond.

Wallpaper installation in Suffolk County isn’t just about lining up patterns and smoothing seams—it’s about bringing walls to life.
