Painting And Wallpapering: Tips And Techniques

Hello. I am an accidental renovator. Initially, I inherited a rundown worker’s cottage and undertook the task of preparing it for sale myself. After some trial and error, I managed to make it look presentable and was impressed by the sale price. I caught the bug and have since bought and renovated a number of properties. The main way to give a property a facelift is to use the right paint or wallpaper. With ideal colours, textures and contrasts, a room or building can be completely transformed. Using proper techniques and durable products are also important to maintain the value of a property. I see many poorly executed paint and wallpaper jobs when visiting open houses to glean ideas, so I started this blog. Hopefully, you’ll gain tips about painting and wallpapering and pitfalls you should avoid. I hope you find it useful and that your property shines!
