🛋️ Your Living Room Deserves Better

Let’s be honest—your living room is your pride. It’s where you welcome guests, binge Nollywood movies, eat Sunday rice, and maybe even take selfies for IG.

So why settle for boring, cracked, or dull walls?

You don’t need to hire a painter if you have the right tips. In this post, we’ll show you how to paint your Nigerian living room like a pro, step-by-step—even if na your first time!

🛠️ 1. Get Your Surface Smooth First

Paint no go fine if your wall dey rough. Start by:

• Scraping off old paint

• Filling cracks with POP or wall filler

• Sandpapering for smooth finish

• Cleaning with a damp rag (remove dust and cobwebs)

Pro tip: If your wall dey weep (wet), solve that first. Paint + dampness = peeling.

🎯 2. Pick the Right Colour

In Nigeria, these colours always bang for living rooms:

• Ivory or Off-white: Timeless and bright

• Champagne Gold or Beige: Warm and classy

• Muted Grey: Perfect for modern vibes

• Peach or Terracotta: Adds warmth and Naija personality

• Royal Blue or Teal (Accent Wall): Bold and Instagrammable!

💡 Use Prestige’s Timeless Interior Paint for rich colours that pop and last!

💧 3. Choose the Right Finish

• Matt Finish: Soft, hides imperfections, but not easy to clean

• Satin or Eggshell Finish: Smooth, cleanable, perfect for living rooms

• Silk Finish: Shiny, wipes clean easily, great if you’ve got kids

Avoid glossy paint—it shows too many flaws unless your wall is 100% smooth.

🎨 4. Don’t Forget Accent Walls

Accent walls give your living room depth and style. Pick one wall (usually behind your TV or sofa) and go bold!

Example:
3 walls = ivory
1 wall = deep teal or burnt orange 🔥

🖌️ 5. Painting Time!

• Tape off trims and sockets

• Use roller for large areas, brush for corners

• Start with a primer coat (especially if painting over dark colour)

• Do 2 coats for best result—wait 2–4 hours between coats

Let it dry completely before placing your chairs back!
