As consumers demand ever more complex and eye-catching finishes in their homes, professionals need the UK’s number 1 branded masking tape in their toolbox more than ever.

Make the walls a feature

Feature walls have been popular for some time. Professional decorator Alex Holt is increasingly seeing homeowners looking to the leisure industry for inspiration.
 
“Using one colour throughout a room remains the paint style of choice for most people, but we are definitely seeing feature walls becoming more popular. These walls started as one distinct area of wallpaper, for example behind a headboard or around a fireplace,” says Alex. “We love using wallpaper and the ranges available now are just fantastic.
 
“Paint also works with the people within the home. Textures such as flat matt are great for families, and endurance paints are tough for homes with children and pets. Reflective paints, meanwhile, can really brighten rooms, so we are using these paints more and more.

“Another factor is that the design can be unique. We’ll work closely with the customer to create something truly bespoke, which is key in children’s bedrooms, for example, where a mountain shape or seascape is the brief.



​How to create a stunning guest bedroom with a feature wall!

It is incredibly easy to create a guest bedroom that will give your friends and family the feeling of a boutique hotel, thanks to an on-trend blackboard sign above the bed.

All you need is some Frog Tape and a little but of clever brushwork, as Lee Howes of Frog Tape advises. Here’s how;
  1. Prep the whole wall by removing any old paint or paper.
  2. Sand and clean thoroughly.
  3. Plan out your design on the floor or a large piece of paper first.
  4. Paint your base coat and two coats of white matt.
  5. Once the paint is dry, use Frog Tape Delicate Surface Painter’s Masking Tape to create your blackboard effect design. Make sure you mask out rows first, then any square and diagonals last. Rub the edge of the tape to get a good seal.
  6. Use a black matt or chalkboard paint to full in the shapes. Allow each coat to dry before the next. Use a flat artist’s brush.
  7. Once the paint is dry, use a pencil to create the wording.
  8. Full in the wording with a white paint pen. You may need to use a few coats. If you make a mistake, you can use the black paint to cover and try again.

Dress the room and welcome your guests!
