The project in detail
This one really was a full overhaul from top to bottom, and the before photos tell the story better than words ever could. The room had been through what felt like every decorating trend going: one section of wall had been tiled and needed removing and levelling from scratch; other walls were covered in wallpaper and gold leaf that had to be properly sealed before anything could go over them. The ceiling was in a state, with years of blu-tac and stickers leaving it pitted and marked, requiring careful filling and preparation before it would accept a decent finish. Every surface in the room needed serious attention before any paint went on. The ceiling was finished in Dulux Trade White Emulsion, giving a clean, bright backdrop. The walls were decorated throughout in Johnstones Trade Cleanable Matt Emulsion, practical as well as beautiful, with a finish that will hold up to everyday family life. The woodwork was also finished in Johnstones Trade Aquaguard Satin, pulling the room together with a crisp, consistent result. The customer's brief was clear: pink, done properly, and make it feel like a completely new room. The before and after photos are genuinely jaw-dropping.
