Wallcoverings have been making a new impact on interior design in the past couple of years, mainly due to their use on focal point walls.

When used on a single wall, such as a chimney breast or in an alcove, bright and vivid patterns are now making impactful design statements. Graham & Brown’s Feature Wallcoverings range has some exquisite designs, and are available online or in store at Godfrey.

There is a refreshingly simple, cost effective way to rid your home of the dreaded woodchip and anaglypta with Polycell’s “SmoothOver your Textured Wallpaper”.

For how many years have you looked in dismay at your woodchip or anaglypta, desperately wanting to get rid of it but fearing the big and messy task that lies ahead? Knowing that even if you can get the notoriously difficult wall covering to come off, you’re likely to be faced with uneven, cracked surfaces in need of professional plastering.

You are not alone - despite consumers citing textured wallpaper as one of their absolute pet hates, there are still 67 million UK walls covered with either woodchip or anaglypta.

There is a solution! Finally however, there is a refreshingly simple, cost effective way to rid your home of the dreaded woodchip and anaglypta with Polycell’s “SmoothOver your Textured Wallpaper�.

This revolutionary new product can help to transform your home, dragging it from the ‘70s into the noughties, creating super smooth walls ready to paint in whatever colour tickles your fancy.

How to use Polycell SmoothOver your Textured Wallpaper:

Before You Start
1. Make sure the wallpaper is clean, dry, well adhered to the wall and in sound condition. Any loose wallpaper should be either removed or glued back with an appropriate wallpaper adhesive and left to dry before applying the product

2. Remove any nails and screws or touch in with gloss paint to avoid corrosion

How to Use

1. Start by stirring the Polycell Smoothover to a creamy consistency. Then load the Polycell SmartSmoother with product. It’s best to work with approximately 2cm depth of product across the full width of the blade.

2. Apply the Polycell Smoothover to the wallpaper*, smoothing the product across the surface to just fill the texture. You’ll get best result if you apply the product in a smooth arc, maintaining even pressure as you smooth. Work away from the edges and focus on small area at a time (0.5m2). Small bubbles may appear during application but these should be left as they will disappear on drying.

3. Allow the first coat for 3 to 4 hours before applying a second coat (maximum thickness 2mm)

Finishing Off
1. Don’t worry about small irregularities or tramlines as these can be removed by light sanding when the product is dry which takes about 24 hours, depending on conditions (do not use an electric sander).

2. Wash tools in warm soapy water immediately after use. Once dry, your walls are now ready to paint.

*Polycell Smoothover For Textured Wallpapers is not recommended for use over papers applied to cement surfaces such as concrete or over Woodchip paper applied directly to non plastered plasterboard. Wallpapers coated with very absorbing paints, such as white wash, are also less suitable.

Can it be that bold colour in interiors is making a comeback? We think so.

Intense, dramatic, yet sophisticated colour schemes are becoming more and more popular, as we reach out for ways to slice through the neutral haze in our homes. Whilst muted greys and restful beiges are still necessary to provide subtle backdrops that allow us to create harmony within our homes, we now want to show off that element of daring within us.

For this reason, Dulux have launched a range that meets the need for achieving that fashionable edge to counter-balance an otherwise fairly safe scheme. Dulux Feature Walls is a range of six colours that can only be described as indulgent, opulent and intense.

Dulux Feature Walls can be used to add depth to alcoves and fire-surrounds, inject interest into architecturally featureless rooms and to give structure to any space by creating a stunning focal point. As most of us find it difficult to co-ordinate colours, we often default to using the standard creams or beige combinations, in order to avoid making a decorating faux-pas. Helpfully, Dulux have specifically selected six creams to partner these Feature Wall colours, which takes the guesswork out of putting a successful scheme together, whilst still allowing you to create a room your friends will envy.

Feature Walls is available in Intense Truffle, Raspberry Diva, Redcurrant Glory, Overtly Olive, Teal Tension and Mulberry Burst. Dulux Feature Walls is available from Godfrey, along with the co-ordinating creams that will give your living room the designer touch.

Hardwood is a beautiful material for the construction of garden furniture. As a natural product, it will require much protection from the elements in order to maximise its life and maintain its attractive appearance. We suggest that you take care of your furniture in accordance with these guidelines:

1 - Preservative Protection & Teak Oil

Regularly apply (at least twice in a season) an appropriate preservative to the timber. We endorse the range of products manufactured by Cuprinol , in particular Cuprinol Hardwood Garden Furniture Oil

2 - Physical Protection

In the Summer:
Cover the suite whenever possible in order to minimise the exposure to sunlight and rain. We sell a range of covers to suit our garden furniture. Our staff will be very happy to advise you.

In the Winter:
Don’t leave it in the garden - store your suite in a garage or shed. It is not designed be exposed to winter weather no more than your indoor furniture is! Many chairs fold down for easy storage, and any rigid components can be carefully disassembled.

Whilst vinyl covers offer ideal protection during the summer they should not be regarded as an alternative to storing in a shed or garage. This is because these vinyl covers will encourage condensation which will be very harmful to the timber by causing mould or even rot.

Following the above guidlelines should ensure that you can enjoy your hardwood garden furniture for many seasons.
