Should you finish decorating before or after your new flooring is laid?
If you’re planning a big decorating session for your home, you’ll know how tricky it can be to organise the logistics of it all – arranging for painter and decorators, stripping off old wallpaper, lifting old carpets or flooring, disposing of it, and that’s not even the hassle of finding the perfect paint and wallpaper. One of the logistics elements that we get asked about all the time is, should you paint first or lay the floor first? Here’s our take on this age-old decorating dilemma.
If you do the floors first, you will be making sure that your new flooring is the same height and thickness as the current one. How awful to have painted your room only to fit new flooring and discover an inch gap the whole way around where the paint was a different colour! We would always recommend that you at least lift your old floor before you start decorating, as this process can sometimes damage baseboards and skirting, and even mark the walls as the old flooring is carried out. Better to start decorating with a clean slate as it makes it easier to fix mistakes as you go.
