When improving their homes, property owners have been advised not to rush any painting jobs, in a development which might interest those who have recently purchased
Roman blinds.
Writing in the Sun, DIY expert Tommy Walsh suggested that people should ensure that they take the time to do things in the right manner.
He commented: "For the best finish, always apply two coats.
"The old wall is still visible through only one layer of paint - and that's not pretty."
In his Sun article, the former star of TV's Ground Force went on to outline advice to people concerning the topic of wallpapering.
Householders should not be fearful of undertaking wallpapering projects, he stated, although rookies may want to start out redecorating less important rooms of their home.
Alongside Mr Walsh, the BBC show Ground Force also starred Alan Titchmarsh and Charlie Dimmock, with the trio seeking to revamp people's gardens.
