Bedroom Panelling Transformation in Ashington, Northumberland | North & Sons NE
This Ashington bedroom refresh had one big challenge: a DIY panelled feature wall that needed bringing up to a professional standard. Uneven joints, gaps and surface imperfections all had to be filled, sanded and corrected before a drop of colour went on. It took some doing, but the result speaks for itself.
The colour scheme
Panelled feature wall: Dulux Pressed Petal, a soft dusky pink that adds warmth and depth
Walls: Dulux Egyptian Cotton, a calm warm neutral that lets the panelling stand out
Ceiling: Tikkurila Anti-Reflex 2, a deep matt finish that hides imperfections and gives a clean, flat look
Door: RAL 9005 Jet Black for a bold, modern contrast
Woodwork: white eggshell for a crisp, durable finish on skirtings, sills and trims
Built to last
All colours were matched in Johnstone's Cleanable, a hard-wearing matt you can wipe down without losing the finish, ideal for bedrooms that see daily life. We used dustless sanding throughout, keeping the home clean and the air clear while we worked.
