Quality Blinds Will Save You Money

Find the right window coverings, BlindsWe are in the middle of summer and the heat and the humidity are on. If you are from Texas, you know these conditions will stick with us for a while. One of the best ways to keep the heat out of your house, is to install good blinds and shutters. When getting new blinds, keep in mind that not all blinds are designed equal. We have a very specific climate here in the South, and your blinds need to be able to handle these conditions. Window treatments need to be able to block out a lot of hot summer sunlight, keep out the cold when it does get chilly, and withstand our humid conditions.

What You Need To Know

Over time, you may have seen larger horizontal window blinds starting to sag in  the middle. Usually that means they were not built to withstand our humidity. Sagging blinds are not only an eyesore, but repeatedly raising and lowering the blinds puts extra stress on the cords and pulleys.

Wallpaper has been used since the 18th century to cover walls and add a nice interior design element to spaces. During the Renaissance period, wallpaper became an affordable alternative for tapestries. Earlier wallpaper features scenes, but by the 20th century wallpaper had evolved to include different textures and patterns. Today’s wallpaper manufacturers have designed wallpaper to do more than add design and texture, they can now block Wi-Fi waves, protect walls from falling during earthquakes,  soundproofing, and can even be used for lighting by incorporating LEDs.

]]> How To Decorate A Room With High Ceilings https://texaspaint.com/how-to-decorate-a-room-with-high-ceilings/ Thu, 10 Nov 2022 00:41:06 +0000 https://texaspaint.com/?p=23252

Interior Design: High Ceilings

When it comes to designing a room with tall walls and high ceilings, it can seem like quite a monumental task to fill the space. It seems easy to fill a space when it is horizontal, especially closets, but when it comes to vertical space, it can pose some unique decorating challenges. If the space is not designed to include the extra high space, the room can feel cold and empty. In order to avoid this design faux pas and successfully incorporate the high ceilings into your design, you will need to blend the upper and lower areas by helping to draw the eyes upwards.

Window Treatments - Benjamin Moore - High Ceilings

Window Treatments

It is important to hang draperies at ceiling height. If they are hung lower, it creates a division in the wall and makes the upper area feel isolated. It may seem like it will be too much at first, but the effect is dramatic and will complete the room. Consider using a solid color as patterns can overwhelm a room with high ceilings.

Artwork

Use your empty wall space to showcase your artwork. This could be a great opportunity to do a gallery or a collage style design on your wall space. You can incorporate different styles, shapes, and colors, but make sure they all tie together and help draw the eye upwards.

Shelving

Shelving is a great way to fill a space in a creative way. When it comes to high ceilings, you may have to combine book shelves with art shelves. You can also consider hanging floating shelves in different spots on the wall. Shelving can create a dynamic and fun use of tall wall space.

Paint A Feature Wall

A feature wall from the floor all the way to the ceiling can help bring the two parts of the room together. This can easily be accomplished with a can of Benjamin Moore Paint from Helm Paint & Decorating. If you have a fireplace, consider tiling it up to the ceiling with more tile, brick or stone. Wallpaper is another great way to create a feature wall. Textured wallpaper is perfect for any room, but can really help add dimension to a larger room. Take a look at this alligator wallpaper in chestnut from Thibaut.

Architectural Details & Lighting Fixture

High ceilings are beautiful, but sometimes they can feel very empty. Consider adding exposed beams or bead board to your room design. These types of architectural details can add depth and character to these large spaces. A high ceiling is the perfect opportunity to add some “light” drama to a room. A large statement, lighting fixture can be the perfect final touch to a room. It does not have to be wide in scale. Consider something that is striking but still elegant.

Wallpaper Bathroom Trends

Wallpaper Bathroom Trends

When you think of wallpaper, usually your grandma’s floral designs from the 70’s come to mind. Wallpaper is now back with a modern take that can give your bathroom a contemporary chic.  It may seem counter intuitive, but wallcoverings in a small space – a bathroom, foyer, or even a laundry room – add a bit of fun and sophistication. Wallcoverings add vibrancy and movement to a living space, and hundreds of varieties exist. There’s something for everyone: modern, traditional, romantic, or otherwise.

Designers recommend grasscloth wallpaper to add texture and warmth to a room, while geometric patterns with fresh, symmetrical shapes and simple, clean lines can introduce order and dimension into your bathroom. Floral designs from delicate blossoms to roses and tulips, as well as vintage inspired wallpapers can provide a fresh, yet modern update to your bathroom.

Wallpaper has had a renaissance in the 21st century.  Since 2011, this classic design element has consistently been on nearly every Top Interior Trends of the Year list, and this year is no exception.

What You Need To Keep In Mind

WallpaperThere are a few things you should keep in mind before putting wallpaper on your bathroom walls. Bathroom wallpaper can cause problems since the moisture and humidity might cause it to peel off. Install wallpaper in the areas that are outside of the shower and bath space. If you decide to wallpaper areas close to sinks and tubs, use  a wallpaper that is called “splashproof” wallpaper. Wallpaper and adhesives have special guidelines you should follow when wallpapering your bathroom. If you are not certain which kind of wallpaper or adhesive to use, ask the experts at Texas Paint & Wallpaper.

]]> How To Remove Wallpaper https://texaspaint.com/how-to-remove-wallpaper/ Thu, 24 Jun 2021 23:48:43 +0000 https://texaspaint.com/?p=23836

Have You Ever Wondered How To Remove Wallpaper?

Remove WallpaperWallpaper styles change drastically overtime, which means your walls maybe covered with a 1970s style wallpaper that just did not pass the test of time.  If you are getting ready to redecorate your home and need to remove wallpaper, it may seem like a huge task. But, if you follow the proper techniques, wallpaper is actually quite simple to remove from walls.

Prepare Your Space

Before removing any wallpaper from the walls, use these three simple tips to prepare your space:

  1. Remove all furniture items from the room or place them in the center of the room and cover the with plastic.
  2. Tape all baseboards with painter’s tape and plastic drop cloths.
  3. Cover outlets with painter’s tape and turn off the electricity to the room. Use an extension cord from another room for light.

Tip: Some types of wallpaper can be removed quickly and others may take more time. Give yourself the time to properly complete the project.

Removing Your Wallpaper

The four types of wallpaper include: peel and stick wallpaper, traditional wallpaper, strippable wallpaper, and wallpaper with a removable top layer. Each type of wallpaper requires a different removal process. Peel and Stick wallpaper will peel off the wall in full sheets. Traditional wallpaper will be harder to remove and will come off in small sections. Strippable wallpaper will come of the wall in full sheets. Wallpaper with a removable top layer will remove easily, but will leave a paper backing on the wall.

Peel And Stick Wallpaper – To remove this type of wallpaper start at the top corner and pull the wallpaper down gently working parallel to the wall.

Traditional Wallpaper – This type of wallpaper is hard to remove, but with patience, it can be removed without damaging your walls. Use a wallpaper scoring tool to poke small holes in the wallpaper surface. The holes will allow water and wallpaper remover to penetrate the paper. Working in three foot sections, soak the wallpaper with hot water or wallpaper removal. Use a scraper or spackling knife to remove the wallpaper slowly. To make sure that all residue is gone, wipe the walls with warm water and dish detergent.

Strippable Wallpaper – This type of wallpaper is the easiest to remove. At the top of the wallpaper section, find a loose corner and peel the section back and pull the entire sheet straight down. Use water to help with removal and wipe down walls with warm water and dish detergent and a sponge.

Wallpaper with a Peelable Top Layer – Removal of this type of wallpaper can be a two step process. Strip off the top layer of the wallpaper using the same techniques as the traditional wallpaper types. Use a scraper or spackling knife to scape the paper away from the wall. Wipe down the walls with warm water and dish detergent to make sure both layers are removed.

Tip: Allow the walls to dry completely over the next two to three days. Consider using a fan to help with air circulation. You may be able to hang new wallpaper if the walls are not damaged. The walls may need to be floated if the wall has been damaged from the wallpaper.

]]> How To Measure For Wallpaper https://texaspaint.com/how-to-measure-for-wallpaper/ Tue, 26 Jan 2021 17:57:41 +0000 https://texaspaint.com/?p=23470

What is the best way to measure for wallpaper?

How To Measure For Wallpaper - York WallcoveringsWallpaper needs to be measured in square feet by measuring the the height in feed by the width in feet of each wall. The formula is H x W = Square Feet. You will then add the square foot measurements of each wall together. This will give you the total square footage of the room. But, do you have any doors or windows? If the room has doors or windows, they should be subtracted from your total square footage. Don’t forget, it is still important to have a little extra. So, round up whenever possible to ensure that you do not run out of wallpaper. A little extra wallpaper is also very important when you are trying to match patterns.

How do you measure for a wallpaper with a pattern?

If your wallpaper selection has a pattern, the wallpaper edges will have to be matched during installation. Matching the wallpaper strip edges eliminates the seams from showing and is essential to proper wallpaper installation. It is not easy to do it properly, so take your time if you are doing it yourself. It is also important to factor in the factor repeat loss when calculating your wallpaper measurements. The easiest way is to divide the square footage of the area being covered by the average repeat size of 21″.  This will give you the number of single rolls you will need. The formula is Square Feet/21 = single rolls needed. If you are in doubt, round up. If you end up with an extra roll, it is great to have for any repairs you may need or even another smaller project.

What are the differences between a double roll and a single roll of wallpaper?

In the past, rooms were smaller and ceilings were lower, so wallpaper rolls were smaller. But, as times changed and architecture designs evolved, wallpaper roll size increased. One continuous roll of today’s wallpaper consists of the same square footage as two single rolls. A bolt of wallpaper is just another way of saying a double roll. They are called a bolt because like fabric, it comes on a wrapped cardboard bolt. Double roll square footage is the same square footage as two single rolls. A single roll is half the amount of wallpaper as a double roll. Remember to read the label on your wallpaper. They come in different sizes, so make sure that you check the label before you make your purchase.
