A durable and unique interior design style: The right structure, the right material

When the goal is to create impressive, long-lasting and easy-to-maintain surfaces for interiors, beautiful color alone is not enough. The right material layering, careful preparation and high-quality products are needed, which together guarantee an aesthetic result and durability for years to come.
A high-quality wall surface is more than just a visual delight, it also protects structures, makes cleaning easier and withstands everyday wear and tear. A well-chosen and executed paint surface improves the comfort of the space and can even increase the value of the property.
Oikos' innovative interior design solutions, such as Ultrasatenin highly durable and washable wall paint, breathable and high-quality Supercolor and stunning, individual effect decorative paints, offer a perfect ensemble for homes, offices or public spaces.
When all layers – primer, topcoat and possible effects – are chosen carefully and without compromising on quality, the end result is a surface that retains its beauty and functionality for a long time.

The right primer is the foundation of everything

Every successful painting project starts with a primer. Oikos recommends Crilux primer to ensure that the surface is even, breathable and ready to receive layers of paint. Crilux closes pores, stabilizes the substrate and prevents moisture from absorbing into the structure, resulting in a more beautiful and long-lasting finish.
Crilux is applied in one coat, diluted 500% with potable water, achieving a coverage of 45–60 m²/l.
After the primer has dried for at least six hours, the actual color coat can be applied.

Primers: Ultrasaten and Supercolor

Once the surface has been carefully prepared, it is time to move on to priming. Oikos' Ultrasaten and Supercolor paints are ideal for finishing interior walls, providing both protection and aesthetics.

• Ultrasaten is semi-gloss and brings a luxurious, silky glow to the wall. It reflects light softly and creates an elegant atmosphere.
• Supercolor again offers a deep matte, velvety finish, the perfect choice when you want a calm softness in the space.

Both paints are applied in two layers, and the shade can be chosen to either complement the future decorative coating or create a harmonious tone-on-tone ensemble.

Supercolor primer is diluted 50% with water and has a coverage of 14–30 m²/l.
Ultrasate primer is diluted 25% with water and covers 18–22 m²/l.

The layered structure built in this way guarantees the best possible base for stunning decorative coatings and a long-lasting interior look.

Decorative effect paints – a celebration of creativity and individuality on the walls

Once the groundwork has been carefully done and the wall surfaces have been prepared, a real world of possibilities opens up – now it’s time for creativity to shine! Oikos offers a wide and inspiring selection of decorative paints and coatings, with which you can create something unique in every space.

Products like Ottocento, Encanto, Multidecor Skin, Pallas, Imperium and many others open the door to silky, metallic, sandy or vividly structured wall surfaces. Each surface can tell its own story, reflect light in its own way and bring a completely new depth and atmosphere to the room.

Decorative paints are often semi-transparent, which makes choosing the right base color particularly important, it acts as a background and emphasizes the desired effect. The final look is created by the interaction of several factors: the technique used, the application method, the number of layers and the fine-tuning of the finish.

Oikos' technical instructions, which can be conveniently found in the "Downloads and video instructions" section of each product, comprehensively introduce different working methods and style options. However, the greatest magic is found in your own creativity. Decorative paints allow you to play with light, structures and colors, which is why they are the perfect choice when you want to create a space with liveliness and individuality that you can really feel and see.

When high-quality products and careful groundwork are combined with a bold vision, the result is a surface that will impress even years later.

Technical perfection is achieved with the right schedule and drying times

When striving for wall surface perfection, it is important to remember that nothing happens in an instant. Each stage of the work has its own role and time, and taking your time is the key to a flawless result.

Once the Crilux primer has been applied, it is recommended to let it dry overnight. This ensures that the surface is stable and ready to receive the following layers. When moving on to the priming phase with Ultrasaten or Supercolor, you should wait at least four hours between each layer. This allows the color and structure to even out and prevents cracking or unevenness.

When moving on to the actual decorative finish, whether it is the silky Ottocento or the sophisticated Multidecor Skin, it is particularly important to let the paint dry properly. After the decorative layer, it is a good idea to allow at least six hours of drying time before applying any protective finishes, such as Igrolux Satinato varnish.

Why is it worth sticking to the schedule?

Because careful work and the right drying time guarantee the durability, washability and beauty of the wall surface for years to come. When each layer is given the necessary time to settle and strengthen, the end result is a surface that can withstand both everyday stresses and admiring glances.
