    Wild Thing in Kensington Hangs Wallpaper

    Kensington Wallpaper Hanging

    Our Colour Consultant and the customer finally came to a bold choice of wallpaper for a bathroom. It did take a little discussion here and there to agree! Nobody can say it’s an understated, or a vanilla choice.

    The Wallpaper Installation

    Whilst just a small room, it was full of difficult tasks. The bulkhead, power sockets, handrails, door furniture and even hanging wallpaper on a door.

    We had to undercoat everything with Taubmans 3 in 1. This produces a sealed, chemically even surface, so we can hang wallpaper on it.

    The wallpaper itself was over 1 metre in width and had to be pasted in a different room, so even walking through the doorway proved difficult.

    The first drop, behind the doorway, was easy, but the other six drops proved to be anything but easy.

    Wallpaper and Materials Used:

    • Romans Pro-880 Ultra Clear Strippable Wallcovering Adhesive

    Wallpaper Hanging Cheat Number One:

    Romans Adhesive, whilst expensive, is strippable. Why would this be so good, you ask? In a few years, chances are you want to remove the wallpaper. Strippable means: You gently peel the two bottom corners, and then gently peel the entire hang upwards. Simple as that. No mess, no fuss.

    Sometimes it’s great to paint new builds, and sometimes not. It really makes a difference when you’re working with a good builder, and that’s what we as, interior house painters Yarraville aim for. Planning is key to everything for a great paint job, especially when you are working around other trades. This job was well planned, so it went smoothly and on time.

    The customer had already decided the colour scheme. And with a clear remit our job was easy.

    With these important aspects taken care of, these are the painting  jobs interior painters dream of.

    Paints Used:

    • Haymes Expression Ceiling Flat – Casper White Quarter
    • Dulux Wash & Wear Low Sheen – Casper White  Quarter
    • Dulux Wash & Wear Flat – Grey Soot
    • Dulux Super Enamel Semi Gloss – Casper White  Quarter
    • Dulux Super Enamel Semi Gloss – Black
    • Dulux Super Enamel Semi Gloss – Carnelian

    Painted Black Doors

    We had quite a challenge with the black painted doors, they were originally painted Low Sheen. Which looks great, however it is very easy to mark and damage. Due to a few kids in the family we had to come up with another plan.

    So we suggested a semi gloss enamel, because gloss tends to look like a leather jacket from the 1970s. It worked a treat. And as so, it really complimented the black door furniture.
