I'm presently painting the walls in my hall .There is a dado rail right round and The dado and door surrounds and skirting is a green eggshell. Below the dado is lining paper in Matt emulsion in a pale green .Above the dado is white matt emulsion .The doors will probably be white eggshell as well.
I was toying with the idea of painting the upper part of the wall that faces you as you come in the outside door the same colour as the rest is below ...just to break things up a bit .
I did something similar in a bedroom but I seem to remember getting the join right was a bit of a nightmare . Any tips for getting the 2 joins straight?
