House painting
Feature walls with texture: ideas for living rooms and bedrooms
Picking the wall
- The wall behind the sofa or TV in the living room
- The wall behind the bed headboard
- An entrance or staircase wall that greets visitors
- Avoid walls broken up by many doors and windows
Matching the look to the room
Metallic finishes add shine and suit evening lighting. Vintage and stone-like effects suit traditional interiors and look good under warm lights. Concrete effects suit modern, minimal rooms. Ask the applicator for a sample board in your lighting before committing.
Practical points
- Feature finishes need skilled applicators; check their past work
- The base wall must be smooth and sound
- Keep the rest of the room simple so the wall stands out
- Plan lighting: a wall light or spot can make texture come alive
Before the painter starts: a short checklist
- Fix leaks and damp first; paint will not stop water coming through a wall
- Scrape loose and flaking paint; sand glossy patches so the new coat grips
- Fill cracks, then prime repaired spots and any bare plaster
- Use putty only where the wall is uneven, and sand it smooth
- Cover floors and furniture; remove switch plates and fittings
- Note the shade code of every tin, so a later top-up matches
Questions to ask your painter before work starts
- Which walls need scraping, primer or putty, and which do not?
- How many coats of each product are included in the price?
- Who supplies material, and will you show me the sealed tins and shade codes?
- How will furniture, floors and fittings be protected?
- How many days will the job take, and how long between coats?
