Paint or not to paint, that is the question?
Comments (15)Those gates really do look good. We advise our customers that if they want a painted finish NOT to go for hardwood. The cost can easily double (if not treble) in price and there is no real advantage if instead using a slow grown softwood! In fact, density level of iroko (hardwood) and slow grown redwood pine is extremely close. Yes hardwood is dense but so is some softwoods. Also, the natural beauty of hardwood with a quality oil finish is stunning and seems a crime to paint - in our opinion!...See MorePaint or not to paint, or HOW to paint?
Comments (2)Hi, It depends what you want to achieve. Do you want to make a feature of it.. Go Olive. Or do you want to blend it in and minimise its impact so as not draw attention to it? Regards, Gina...See MoreFitted wardrobes- to paint or not to paint?
Comments (0)I really don’t like these plastic fitted wardrobes in the bedroom. I’ve had a quote, sanding - which will leave a lot of mess, priming and painting. I’ve been told the room will be out of order a couple of weeks. Inconvenient. The plastic beading will not be able to be painted I’ve been told and they are cream and gold! I cannot remove the alcove as this is not a separate piece. I was thinking of changing the handles and adding long mirrors to the tall cupboards, or even a fitted mirror behind the headboard wall? Im afraid I won’t like them any more but having them gutted is a bigger job....See MoreTo paint or not to paint
Comments (20)You could always paint the wall behind in F & B Elephants Breath to compliment your carpet, sofa and curtains (like the picture) and paint the wood in a soft white like Pointing F &B. Have you considered painting the other furniture or having it sprayed professionally -it gives it a really hard wearing finish and it would completely update the room. You could then choose a white ornate mirror or maybe a gold as you have brass on your fire surround. The gold star burst mirrors look stunning if you like that sort of look....See MoreSam Potter
