Why choose Fresh Space
The difference
Three things you get from every Fresh Space job.
40+ Years and a Designer's Eye
Kimon Kalligas has a 40+ year career painting homes across Bayside and south-east Melbourne, and he came to the trade from a graphic design and property background. That mix is rare. You get the steady hands and honest advice of a veteran tradesperson, plus a genuine eye for colour and composition. It is why so much of his work is about getting the look right, not just getting paint on the wall.
One Call, the Whole Property
Fresh Space has always been a one-stop-shop. Alongside the painting, Kimon runs a trusted network of trades and handles a long list of repairs himself, so a whole property can be made sale-ready without you ringing around for a plumber, a gardener and a handyman. One call, one point of contact, and a job that actually gets finished. That is the headache he set the business up to take off your hands.
The Pre-Sale Specialist
Most painters can roll a wall. Very few have spent close to two decades preparing homes for sale across the Bayside and watching what actually moves a price. Kimon has. He knows which rooms buyers judge first, where a small repair pays for itself, and how to make a home photograph well for the listing. Agents refer him for exactly this reason. When you are selling, that experience is the difference between a fresh coat and a result.

About us
About Fresh Space
Fresh Space is Kimon Kalligas, a painter with a 40+ year career and a designer's eye for colour. He has painted homes right across Bayside and south-east Melbourne, from full interior and exterior repaints to feature walls, murals and colour work. Colour and presentation sit at the heart of everything he does, which is why the finish looks considered, not just coated.
Because he works with a small circle of trusted trades and handles many repairs himself, a whole property can be sorted in one go, not just the walls. Pre-sale property prep is one of the things he is known for, and local agents send him their listings for it, but the day-to-day is the full range of house painting done cleanly, reliably and at a fair price.

What our clients say
Trusted by local clients
Real feedback from real customers.
βMy Fresh Space exceeded my expectations through the quality of their workmanship. I required various handyman and painting solutions in a short timeframe on my home to get it ready for sale. My Fresh Space had a reputation to working to tight deadlines on many painting and home maintenance issues. Kimon helped identify work to be undertaken and discussed creative and affordable solutions. The result was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. I recommend My Fresh Space for any painting or property maintenance completed to brighten the appearance of your home.β
Kane Coleman
βMy Fresh Space is professional, efficient and competitively priced. We live in a small flat in need of a face lift. Nothing had been done to the flat since purchase so it was time. Asking my family My Fresh Space was recommended. It would have taken us weeks to complete where My Fresh Space had the job done in a matter of days. They were very thorough and accommodated our requests. The high level of professionalism is a huge credit to Kimon. I would recommend My Fresh Space to anyone looking for a painter.β

βKimon has been the only painter we have used over the years both for our homes and our businesses. I have known Kimon for many years. When we were first looking for a painter we found it really difficult to find someone who was reliable and honest. He does an outstanding job and is well priced, reliable and a pleasure to work with. I can highly recommend him.β
