How to Decorate a Room

The question of how to decorate a room is a straightforward one. Generally, the process follows similar steps but care and consideration into each of these steps will make a difference. It is vitally important that one the decorating work is complete that the paintwork is seamlessly smooth.

We recently completed this redecoration project in Somerford, Cheshire. Our clients wanted an injection of colour into their little girl’s bedroom. To start with we boarded one wall. The original skirting was removed prior to work commencing. Decorating preparation is key!

Once the wall was fully boarded it was then meticulously skimmed in order to achieve a beautifully smooth finish. The wall was then left to fully dry with the aid of our driers. This speeds up the process and minimises disruption for our clients.

Once the wall was fully dried the skirting boards were replaced, the walls fully caulked and everywhere sanded in preparation for the new paint. A modern pink shade was chosen and this was complimented with a light grey ceiling and grey woodwork. The combination made an incredible statement once completed with all soft furnishings matching these colour choices.

Decorating girl’s bedrooms can sometimes be a challenge due to the fact that tastes change and fashions quickly come in and out of favour. Our advice would be to keep the walls and wood work relatively neutral and go use furnishings and framed prints to add character. These are much easier to change than a total room redecoration.

Have you got younger children? It may also be worth considering, as these clients did, to invest in a wipeable paint. We are able to offer a colour-match service with the option of this paint alternative.

Our aim is to make sure that you get the most out of your redecoration project and to achieve your vision with ease and simplicity. We will always do all we can to support the process; please call today on 01477 535862 to discuss your project.
