From Lime Green to White: a Room Repaint

1. Where we started

The walls were a loud lime green. The white spots are fillerFillerA fine paste or powder that fills holes, fine cracks and dents so a wall, ceiling or piece of wood is smooth before it is painted. in the holes and cracksCrackA split or gap in render, concrete, a wall, a coating or wood. Fine cracks are usually only on the surface; ones that grow, keep reopening or run diagonally need attention..

2. Filling

Cracks in the corners and joints are filled. The smoother the base, the cleaner the final paint.

3. The old floor tiles

The broken floor tiles were lifted before the painting started.

4. White walls

Covering such a strong colour takes several coats of white, so no green shows through.

5. Door and ceiling

Walls and ceiling in the same clean white.

6. The result

A bright, neutral room, ready to be furnished however the owner likes.
