The RIGHT wallpaper can be a great solution - since you are building a house you will have a lot of design decisions to make--they should be made as a unified whole not as seperate decisions. This is a job large enough to bring in an interior designer--bring one in NOW -it is best to have a designer before or during the early stages of construction. Position of lighting, wall sconces, etc need to be decidec BEFORE the walls and ceilings are sheetrocked. PyramidDG.com

Ok. in that case please let the area dry in summer. It is very important. Remove the area mould completely with power washer and bleach. Do it for 2-3 times. Do cover the area with " Damp proof " smart care solution and then use "Ultima Protek paint" . The products mentioned above are from Asian paints . I am not aware if similar products are available in other brands. Please use your discretion. Thanks Nitin Cornerstone Designs Bangalore.

Hi Van Dana, If you simply want to work over it, how about: - decorating the walls with fun shelves - the entire space including the beam. How and the choice of shelves will be what would help successfully cover this up - use wall decals. You can even use a big mirror or mirror decals on this portion of the ju tting beam -use patterned wallpapers. You can give a separate one to the beam -decorate with photos/art -for the other beam you can think of light hanging decorations like a sun catcher beads curtain. For you imagination: or use decals Hope that helps? atom INTERIORS, Bangalore

lost ghost, Sanding down and repainting is a suitable solution. For now you can just get one wall painted ..until March.
