Paintable wallpaper is an easy and cost-effective method for adding some texture and shimmer to a plain room. You can use paintable wallpaper and metallic paint to add just a dash of metallic elegance to any room.
YOU WILL NEED:
Fired Earth paintable wallpaper, damask pattern
Fired Earth brushed metal paint, we use Foxy
Wallpaper adhesive
Sponge roller
Soft sponge
Painting equipment
HERE'S HOW:
1. Install the wallpaper as per the recommended instructions. You will find helpful tips for installing wallpaper in this article. Use only a quality wallpaper adhesive such as Perfax Wallpaper Adhesive. A single sachet covers approximately 4m2.
2. Make sure to smooth out all the bubbles with a soft sponge when it is still wet to ensure an even application once it has dried. Allow the wallpaper to dry completely overnight before moving on to the next step.
GOOD TO KNOW: With paintable wallpaper you can quite easily create a textured feature wall. In this project we used Fired Earth metal paint in Foxy, but you can finish in your choice of colour. Builders offer a varied selection of paintable wallpapers that are easy to apply and can be coated with any of Fired Earth's water-based Brushed Metal paints.
3. Economical and affordable, Fired
Earth’s Brushed Metal has a spread rate
of 6 to 8m2 per one litre. The wall will require two coats
and you need to allow for at least four hours of drying
time between coats. Let the paint cure on the
wallpaper for 24 hours before you hang
anything against the wall.
