Christmas makeover magic
Christmas is the season that inspires more DIY than practically any other time of year. Visitors are expected and suddenly the summer décor doesn't look quite as right as it once did.
International paints will help you ring the changes with some simple decorating ideas that will transform the spare room into a warm and welcoming place for your visitors to wake up on Christmas Day.
The essential elements of this summer bedroom remain unchanged. Keeping the overall look fresh, start with a white canvas and add International highlights for a warm winter wrap. Quick Drying Floor Paint in Polar White is set off with a refreshed radiator, renewed with a spray of Quick Drying Radiator Enamel Aerosol. Even the chest of drawers remains the same with its coat of White Furniture & Cupboard Paint.
Key items in the room can be quickly transformed with a coloured highlight that completely re-themes the room. In a day's work the chair, bedstead, picture frames and even the knobs on the chest of drawers can be given a new coat of Japlac using a rich gold metallic enamel paint for a luxurious finish. Gold bed throws and yellow curtains complete the theme.
Start simple. Transform a wooden tray to serve up the perfect Christmas day treat for visitors. Japlac is a great paint that all the crafty stylists use.
With the highlight colour of choice, even quite simple and low value items can be made to look really special. Picture frames, occasional chairs, breakfast trays can all given a crafty Christmas makeover. Japlac is the ideal paint to give a magical new lease of life to classic and contemporary surfaces alike. Japlac is a tough, durable paint, with a similar finish to highly polished Japanese lacquer, and is touch dry in just 1 hour.
A final comment on Japlac's amazing versatility. It can be used on almost any surface. Here a slightly tacky brass base has been transformed into a lovely classic lamp stand.
