Hi all,
I’m in the process of painting my living room walls. There is currently old wallpaper there that has been painted over, so this needs to be stripped off first. I don’t know in what condition the plaster is under it, but as the house was built in 1970, I’d expect it to be in relatively good condition and not to come off. Fingers crossed…
I’ve been wondering whether I should choose silk or matt emulsion paint. The afternoon sun shines nicely into the room, so if the finish is uneven, it will stand out. Considering this matt would probably be better, but I’m worried that it may look too dull and any marks can be seen easily. However, if I put a silk paint on, will this make any imperfections to stand out? E.g. Dulux has silk, matt and soft sheen. Which of these would you recommend?
Many thanks in advance
