Well-prepared surfaces

Every painting project starts with a well-prepared surface. If you are decorating a newly renovated room, make sure the drywall joints are properly finished. Inspect the walls to see if any holes or cracks need to be repaired or filled in. A bit of plaster, some sanding and you are ready to apply a good coat of primer. Everything is paintable: metal fixtures, melamine cabinets, ceramics... It’s just a question of knowing what to do. So follow our advice! Remember that the time you spend on careful surface preparation will make the painting part of the process easier and give you the results you are aiming for.

In addition to paint, a variety of other wall coverings can add original style to your walls. Back in a big way, wallpaper is a perfect complement to paint. To hang wallpaper, read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully; it may be pre-pasted or unpasted. The versatility of tiles means they are particularly suitable for rooms like the kitchen and bathroom, where colours and patterns can be mixed and matched creatively in endless ways. Install tiles on shower walls or around kitchen cabinets to completely transform the look of these rooms.

Decorate with mouldings

Nothing beats mouldings to add style and distinction to your decor. To dress up your walls with rich texture, consider all the wide variety of mouldings available: cornices, chair rails, and baseboards are just a few. Use them in conjunction with wainscot panels, ceiling coffers or wall paper to give your room a warm, regal look that is unique. With different designs, from the most restrained to the most sophisticated, you can create myriad decors for all your rooms. Sketch, measure, cut… As always, careful planning will make your life easier and guarantee the success of your project. The trend today is for mouldings that are massive, striking and very noticeable. Paint them in contrasting colours, with a glossy finish, for a stunning effect.
