What’s the white paint brand used for rooms walls and ceiling
Hi guys, I have this room that (painted in typical UK white colour) have small scratches and stains here and there and I am looking to DIY and paint these small spots as there’s no need to repaint the whole room but so far all the paints I have tried seems to be a different shade of white than what the room was painted with originally. I have tried: - Johnstone's - Paint Tester Pots - Wall & Ceiling Paint - White Lace - Emulsion Paint - Easy to Apply - Dry in 1-2 Hours Dulux Walls & Ceilings Tester Paint, White Cotton, 30 ml Dulux Tester Paint, White Mist, 30 ml (Pack of 1) Please help. I need the name of that typical UK white paint used for rooms walls and ceilings. Thank you for your help.

How easy will it be to remove wallpaper for an entire room?
I have a room that we plan to remove all the wallpaper from, as part of the room’s redecoration. We are planning to remove it by peeling away from the corners, using a damp cloth where required to loosen up any stubborn areas. As precautions, we will cover up the floors nearby and the switches/electrical sockets in case of any accidents in the process. Is this the simplest method for us to try or is there any quicker, more efficient methods we could try instead? Any ideas would be welcome!
