A whole new look

Transform your space in a weekend with the right tools from 3M Scotch and Command

It’s the season of long weekends, which means it’s also the season of mini home makeovers! Giving a tired room a fresh new look can be as simple as applying a lick of paint and some wall décor – and with 3M Scotch painter’s tape and 3M Command adhesive strips and hooks, you’ve got a kit of essential tools to make it happen.

1. PREP FOR SUCCESS

A spectacular paint job starts with careful preparation. Clean and dry your surface, then apply tape around the edges.

ScotchBlue Original Painter’s Tape is the ultimate all-rounder, while ScotchBlue Sharp Lines Painter’s Tape uses Edge-Lock Technology to seal out paint like no other. For uneven masonry or timber, opt for Scotch Rough Surface Painter’s Tape, or use Scotch Exterior Surface Painter’s Tape for weather-resistant hold outdoors.

For best results, press – don’t stretch – the tape in place, then firmly stick it down with a putty knife, or even a credit card. Leave to set for 30-60 minutes before painting.

2. PAINTED PERFECTION

Brush and roll on your paint – it’s looking amazing already! But now for the most satisfying part: removing the tape. ScotchBlue tape can stay in place for up to 14 days after application without leaving residue, so when you peel it off, you’re left with nothing but impeccable definition.

3. MAKE IT YOURS

Hanging family photos and curated artworks is the best way to break up blank walls and mark a space as your own, and it’s so easy to do with Command picture hanging strips! The strips lock securely, holding up to 1.8kg for a small set and 9kg for a large set that’s a 61cm x 91cm frame. Best of all, they leave no residue, holes or marks behind, so you can easily change up your space again when the mood strikes.

4. KEEP IT ORDERED
