The missus has wanted the spare room decorated for a while. I have given in and said we can paint it.
On looking closer, it has this shocking polestyrene coving which looks really naff and wants to come down.
Trouble is, the embossed 'woodchip' type paper has been papered on after the coving.
If I remove this coving I will be left with an inch and a half of bare plaster. I wont be able to find a matching paper to fill this, and if I could I reckon you would still see a line.
If I get some standard coving (have fitted this a few times before) am I going to run into issues if I keep the paper up and allow the coving to stick to the paper?
The new coving would be the standard stuff and would likely overlap the paper by 3/4 inch or so - not ideal I know. I am guessing with enough adhesive on the top and some good splodges in the cavity it should be ok???
How about a painted ceiling? Can coving be stuck directly to this?
This job looks to be getting expensive and time consuming! Thought it was just some paint!
