Technological Decorating

Modern technology allows us to do almost anything we can imagine.

 

Augmented reality can now be used to show you how your room would look if you decorated it any way you wished, without the need to decorate and redecorate until you find your true style.

 

Some apps can be used to easily measure dimensions of a room, others show you how furniture would look in different places, and others even show you how an extension could look added to your home.

 

Revolutionary apps like Ikea Place, DecoratAR and Dulux Visualizer are all excellent examples of where the future of decorating is headed.

Listed Property Exterior Renovation

At Avery Rose Decorators, we provide a painting and decorating service for listed and period properties.

 

Redecorating listed properties can be a minefield of paperwork due to the nature of the buildings. Historic England have guidelines which can advise decorators about the work they wish to carry out on listed properties.

 

Regular redecoration of the exteriors of listed properties is advised as it can help prevent decay, especially for external woodwork such as that on period properties. Specialist decorators use ‘breathable’ paint, such as lime wash to protect the exteriors from moisture damage.

 

However, some materials in older houses; some brick, stone and concrete walls for example, need to be free from paint to allow damp to evaporate.
