Painting / Decorating in Milton Keynes

Interior painting can be a really low-cost method to brighten up the interior of your home. Painting is often undertaken as a DIY project, but qualified painters and decorators can make sure of an immaculate finish and make sure that your decoration is going to look its best for as long as possible.

 

The primary element to effective painting is planning. Carefully choose a paint colour or consider utilising multiple shades to produce an accent wall. Additionally consider the sheen, as paints can come in a wide range of finishes like gloss, satin, egg shell or matte. Gloss and satin will perform better in high traffic areas. There is a vast selection of manufacturers and paints available so be sure to look around to find the paint that's ideal for your area.

 

Interior painters and decorators can supply you with plenty of suggestions about paint and help you choose the best colour scheme for your interior rooms.

FAQs

can you paint over wallpaper?

Can You Paint Over A Wallpaper?

According to some painting and decoration experts, painting over a wallpaper can never produce a result that’ll be as good as painting on a blank or naked wall. However in the event whereby there’s a pressing need to quickly beautify a room, it’ll be totally understandable if you don’t want to go through the hassle of the time consuming old wallpaper removal process.

Therefore, the short and simple answer to this question is yes, it’s absolutely possible to paint over a wallpaper and get a good outcome so far you don’t rush the process. To ensure your success if you want to paint over a wallpaper, there’s also the need to use the right tools and techniques. And just like any other DIY project, proper preparation before commencement is key.

If you’re going to paint over a wallpaper, many of the tools you’ll need to acquire are the standard painting and decorating products. This means that they can be easily procured at many DIY stores. To paint over a wallpaper, you’ll need a paint roller, top quality paint brushes, joint compound ( you’ll only need this in situations whereby your wallpaper is damaged or peeling), oil based primer, tape, sandpaper, paint ( can be water, solvent or oil based paints) as well as drop clothes ( for the protection of your furnitures).

As a rule of thumb, if you can easily remove the existing wallpaper, then you probably should before you start to paint the walls. However, if removing the wallpaper seems to be a pain or can significantly damage your wall, then it’ll be smart to simply paint over it. But before you proceed, you must also note that painting over the wallpaper will make it even harder to remove later in the future.
