PAINTING AND DECORATING GUIDES
Bars & Entertaining Rooms
Create a sophisticated, inviting space that’s perfect for entertaining. Your bar or entertaining room should feel stylish, welcoming, and full of character — the ideal place to relax with friends or host unforgettable evenings. At Drew Decor, we combine expert decorating craftsmanship with bespoke interior styling from Suzanne at the Drew Decor Interiors store, giving you everything you need to create a stunning, social space that truly impresses. From preparation to paint, from lighting to luxurious finishes, we take care of every detail.
Our Preparation Process
Before the first brushstroke, we ensure every surface is perfectly prepared for a flawless, professional result:
Protect all floors, furniture, and fittings with dust sheets and coverings.
Use professional dustless sanding systems to keep your home clean and the air dust-free.
Fill cracks, holes, and imperfections for an ultra-smooth base.
Stain block any marks or water damage from previous leaks or spills.
Sand walls, ceilings, and woodwork for a refined, even surface.
Apply caulk to joints and seams for crisp, sharp edges.
Spot-prime repaired areas or mist-coat new plaster where needed.
Fine-sand between coats to achieve a silky, seamless finish.
Always leave your space spotless and ready to enjoy.
Our Finish & Attention to Detail
Once the prep is complete, we use premium paints and finishes — typically Little Greene, known for its rich tones, durability, and timeless style:
Two full coats of Little Greene Intelligent Emulsion (or chosen finish) on walls and ceilings.
Satin or eggshell finishes on doors, skirting, and trims for easy maintenance.
Clean, precise cutting-in for sharp, professional edges.
Optional feature wall or decorative wallpaper to create visual impact.
Full-room wallpapering available — including ceilings for a truly bespoke, designer atmosphere.
Every project is carefully inspected before handover to ensure a flawless finish that’s ready for entertaining.
