I love decorating for Christmas, but sometimes my ideas can go a little too far and get a little too complicated. Whether I'm having to over-engineer complicated frames for festive foliage around doorways or install surprisingly heavy mantelpiece displays, there's always a common result when I come to take down my decor after twelfth night: my living room walls need a repaint.
Whether it's chipped and pulled paint or marks left by DIY decor, what can seem to be a good idea in December can feel like a major headache in January when you realize you need to paint all your walls again.
