Media Wall Transformation

The Brief

A newly made media wall, built to my clients specifications, freshly plastered and ready to be the focal point of the lounge.

What We Did

First on the agenda for this project was that the newly plastered media wall needed to be sealed correctly, ready to take the chosen top coat. This was done by what’s known as mist-coating…a thinned down layer of white emulsion for the plaster to absorb.

Once that was completed, any imperfections were filled, sanded back and repeated a few more times.

The first top coat was then applied, but as I stepped back to do a quality check, I noticed how uneven the plaster was (not the best plastering job I’ve ever encountered). So it needed to be sanded back a final time and then two coats of the top coat were applied.

We used the same colour paint for the main walls, as we’d used for the main walls in the dining room. The dining room has sliding doors into the lounge, so the two rooms flow together beautifully.

They wanted the media wall to be the feature in the lounge, so they decided on a bold, deep forest green and what a transformation it was. So rich and luxurious amd the room itself was so big and full of light, it was able to accommodate the bold colours very easily.
