Instructions
- Handy hints: When using a combination of light and dark colours on walls always paint the lightest colour first as it’s easier to cut in with a dark colour over a lighter.
- When painting it’s usually best to start from the top and work your way down – paint the ceiling first then the walls. If any drips from your ceiling painting end up on your walls they won’t ruin your new paintwork.
- Top tip: Use an angled brush for cutting in – this will save time and create a neater edge.
- To get the look: Mark previously varnished the floor with Resene Polythane clear polyurethane.
- Other ideas: For a more sumptuous look consider using a bolder colour as a feature wall.
