Room decorator walls ceiling skirting boards painted
Interior painting can be a really cost-effective way to refresh the inside of your property. Painting is sometimes completed as a DIY job, but qualified painters and decorators can make sure of an immaculate finish and ensure that your decoration will look its best for as long as possible.
You might devote more time to preparing to paint than actually painting. It's advisable to wash and prepare all wall surfaces and ceilings before painting, in addition to to mask off any areas which should not be painted such as skirting, architrave, electrical sockets and light switches. Cover up household furniture and carpets or flooring in the room with sheets to catch any splashes. If you are painting internally, employ a primer coat as a base followed by multiple coats of paint, leaving each layer time to dry in between.
Interior painters and decorators can give you lots of guidance about paint and help you select the perfect colour scheme for your internal rooms.

Can You Paint Over A Wallpaper?
According to some painting and decoration experts, painting over a wallpaper can never produce a result that’ll be as good as painting on a blank or naked wall. However in the event whereby there’s a pressing need to quickly beautify a room, it’ll be totally understandable if you don’t want to go through the hassle of the time consuming old wallpaper removal process.
Therefore, the short and simple answer to this question is yes, it’s absolutely possible to paint over a wallpaper and get a good outcome so far you don’t rush the process.

However, if removing the wallpaper seems to be a pain or can significantly damage your wall, then it’ll be smart to simply paint over it. But before you proceed, you must also note that painting over the wallpaper will make it even harder to remove later in the future.

How Much For A Painter To Paint A Room?
If you’re looking to have your room painted, it’s only normal to get an idea of how much it’s going to cost so you can set a budget and start planning. As you would have expected, the cost of having a room painted is dependent on a wide array of influencing factors such as the size of your room, the type of paint to be used, your location and many more. As a result, providing a single and accurate answer to this question is almost impossible.
Generally, a regular 4 metres by 3 metres room will take just a couple of days to be fully painted including both the coving and woodwork. Outside London, most painters and decorators would charge within the range of £150 to £200 per day meaning that you’ll have a total labour cost within the range of £300 to £400. What’s more? You’d also have to consider the price of the paint to be used which is usually around £50. If you add all the costs together you’ll get an average cost of about £400 to £500.
Unfortunately, paint does not last an eternity. Therefore, there’ll come a time where you’d have to consider painting your room all over again. It may seem unwise to employ the services of a professional painter and decorator especially if you’re on a budget. However, in truth, calling in a professional can go a long way to save you time, stress and money. In other words, even if you’re worried about the cost, a professional painter is still your best bet in the long run as they know exactly what to do to ensure you derive maximum benefits from your painting project.
