Vinyl matt on the walls.Eggshell is for the woodwork, surely?
My flat badly needs renovating. Everything is in good nick but needs repainting or papering. I've seen my parents wallpaper (very effectively) and paint walls (not so impressive) but have no experience, and the rates for professionals makes them out of my reach.
I've got two mates - one of whom has DIY experience and a lot of enthusiasm but not a lot of time - the other seems to have a little bit of professional experience (at what level I couldn't say) but would need paying a basic rate.
Realistically, how much experience do you need to get a decent finish? If it was me + either one of the boys, how long would it take for a large-ish 1 bed flat?
The surveyor said I should use a vinyl matte then an eggshell - does that sound suitable? Is the quality of paint going to be important (I can probably stretch the budget a bit here)?
And is it generally easier to apply wallpaper well than paint?
