Hi I would like some advice if any can be given on how I could change my bedroom. It has been the same for 28 years and I am tired of looking at the same drab artex white wall paint. The furniture is dated and in need of a re-vamp as it is more laid out as a childs room rather than an adults.

If anyone has any ideas, suggestions or any links that could help me in deciding what to do......I would love to see a total modernisation.

Hi,

The first thing we would do is get rid or the Artex ! You can see how to do this on this page: https://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects/artex.htm

If you do not want to go to these engths you can cover the wallsby hanging fabrics etc.See how to do this on this page: https://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects/fa ... erings.htm

There is also some helpon colour patterns and feature walls on this page: https://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects/feature-walls.htm

Info on different types of wallcoverings is here https://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects/wallcoverings.htm and there are pages and pages about type of painting techniques which could be usefull.
