So this is the order I decorate:
1) sand, fill and sand all surfaces
2) hoover and clean down walls & ceiling with plain water (not using sugar soap because no smokers here & walls in good condition)
3) paint ceiling x2 coats emulsion
4) paint walls x2 coats emulsion
5) paint joinery x2 coats satinwood
I am reasonably happy with this system using mostly delux and wickes paints (only force of habit that I use these paints, I don't use them because I think they are better than any others, in fact coverage of delux paints I have found to be extremely poor so likely to stop using them soon).
I was wondering whether anyone has anything to add that can help me take things to the next level? While I am happy with the results one can always do better.
