The project in detail
A complete redecoration of a guest bedroom and its ensuite bathroom, two rooms with different requirements that were specified accordingly. The bedroom walls were finished in Johnstones Trade Covaplus Matt Emulsion, with Dulux Trade White Emulsion on the ceiling. All woodwork throughout both rooms was done in Benjamin Moore Scruff-x Satin tinted to Chantilly Lace, which gives a clean, durable finish on doors, architraves, and skirting. The ensuite ceiling was treated with Zinsser Permawhite, the right choice for a bathroom environment where moisture resistance matters. A standard emulsion on a bathroom ceiling will show its limitations within a year or two, whereas a proper moisture-resistant product holds up correctly. The walls in the ensuite were finished in an appropriate matt bathroom paint to complete the specification. Every surface was prepared properly before work began, and the paint systems were chosen to perform in their respective environments rather than simply look good on the day.
