Useful things to consider before your next decorating project, from choosing colours to understanding the preparation.

Why exterior paintwork needs regular attention
Exterior decorating is about the condition of the surface as well as its appearance. Looking at the existing paintwork early gives you more time to plan preparation and repairs.
Choosing colour for a room with limited daylight
A room with little natural light needs a considered combination of colour, finish and lighting. A sample on your own wall tells you more than a small paint chart.
Planning a feature wall that belongs in the room
A feature wall works best when it connects with the rest of the room. Colour, wallpaper pattern and the position of furniture can all help you decide where the emphasis should sit.
What goes into a carefully finished room
The final coat is only one part of interior decorating. A clear brief, prepared surfaces and attention to the edges all contribute to how the room looks when the work is complete.
Choosing a colour scheme for a nursery
A nursery colour scheme can be personal without depending on a single theme. Start with the light, the furniture and the atmosphere you would like the room to have.
When does a decorating project need primer?
Primer is part of a coating system, rather than an automatic extra coat for every surface. The existing material and the finish you want both matter.
