Warm welcomes for winter
Behind the front door and before you go up the stairs there lies an awkward area that is a challenge for even professional decorators. Some houses have a proper hall, others just have glorified corridor that leads up the stairs. It's the one part of the house everyone sees, and with all that heavy traffic it soon gets messy, too. Luckily International has a range of specialist paints that are the ideal solution for those heavy wear, high traffic areas in the home. Covering everything from the floor to the furniture and with a great new selection of stylish and sophisticated colours - International paint is the simple, cost effective way to make a perfect entrance!
Hard wearing Paint for High Traffic Floors
The entrance of your home is not the best place for carpet - unless you want visitors to shed their shoes every time they come in! The answer to flawless floors is easy clean and hardwearing International Quick Drying Floor paint. Now there is a wide selection of 14 colours to choose from as well, so painted floor boards can easily be as decorative as carpet. We used Anthracite to create a really big impact. The glossy finish keeps the light levels up, while the strong dark tones make a great statement too. For painting floors, try a long handled roller for ease of application and remember to get the area really clean and dust/grease free, before starting.
Stylish Storage
There isn't always a lot of room by the entrance, but if you can fit in some furniture that combines storage and 'fling' space, it will keep the place tidy. We found the perfect telephone table/chair on ebay for £20. It did look a bit old fashioned, however, so we gave it a glamour makeover using lush new Warm Mink Furniture & Cupboard Paint. It now not only provides super storage, but is an added attraction in its own right.
