How to: Green a living room     

An accent wall in earthy, calming green compliments rustic wood and natural linen, and highlights the contrasting textures in an organic room.

We used:

  • Plascon Double Velvet White (VEL 1)
  • Plascon Double Velvet Green Moor (G2-D2-1)
  • Plascon Woodcare Interior Coloured Varnish in Light Oak (VSN1)
  • Drop sheets
  • Hamilton’s Polypile roller
  • Masking tape
  • Hamilton’s Professional paintbrush
  • Sandpaper

 
Get the décor effect:

  • Ensure that the wall is clean and dry, then use the Hamilton’s Polypile roller to apply two coats of Plascon Double Velvet White. Work on a drop sheet and allow the paint to dry between coats.
  • Mask off the fireplace, skirtings, doorway, bench, roof beam and ceiling. Using the Hamilton’s Professional paintbrush apply two coats of Plascon Double Velvet Green Moor around all the edges. Allow the first coat to dry before applying the second coat.
  • Paint the rest of the wall with Plascon Double Velvet Green Moor using vertical strokes and a Hamilton’s Polypile roller. When the first coat has dried, follow with a second.
  • When the wall is totally dry, lightly sand the wooden skirtings. Mask off the abutting wall and use a Hamilton’s Professional paintbrush to apply two coats of Plascon Woodcare Interior Coloured Varnish, allowing the paint to dry between coats.
