Quick colour update to WC

Quick colour update to WC

I wanted to add some colour to an otherwise boring space, so I chose a blue colour from the picture hanging in the space. 

Materials

• Monarch angle brush

• 10-11mm Nap roller

• painters tape 

• Dulux Prep and Prime 

• Dulux Natural White Low Sheen

• Dulux Denim Blue Low Sheen

Tools

Steps

Step 1

First step was to prep: sand back, wipe down then apply Primer as a base coat.

Step 2

I decided to work with the colour first, as it was the hardest area for me to reach. After taping up my work area, I started on the back wall (behind the toilet), and for added drama I continued up across the ceiling and back down behind the door.

I did 2 coats of Dulux Denim Blue.

Step 3

I waited a week for the paint to fully cure as I had to tape up on the blue so I could apply the white (I didn't want the paint to peel from the tape).

I applied two coats of Dulux Natural White to the walls.

Step 4

It adds a pop of colour and drama to an otherwise understated space.

In the future I hope to replace the toilet and tiles for a more cohesive look.

NB: the architraves and door were previously painted in Dulux Aquanamel Semi Gloss in Vivid White.
