Wall finishes: planning for everyday life

Wall finishes: planning for everyday life

Good wall finishes supports a coherent backdrop with manageable maintenance. Start with how the room is used now and how those needs may change.

Assess the wall condition before covering it. Resolve dampness through the appropriate professional instead of concealing it behind decorative panels.

Bring a list of must-haves, a rough budget and any existing items you plan to retain. Review the room as a whole before selecting individual products. In the estimator, assign optional elements to the relevant room and check that they do not duplicate a theme package.

Compare samples for texture, reflected light and repairability. Specify panel joints, edge details and areas excluded from the finish.
