GH Décor Ltd worked alongside construction and fit-out company Edgewater Contracts on the project.

level of scuff resistance, such as the ceilings, I suggested Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt. This product offers high opacity and a high- quality finish – as well as excellent coverage and a smooth flow so the GH Décor Ltd team could benefit from easy application.” The specification also included Dulux Trade Durable Flat Matt for the bedroom walls and Dulux Trade Diamond Satinwood for the woodwork and doors. Due to the age of the building, GH Décor Ltd had to revive some of the old substrates before decoration work could begin, to ensure a high-standard finish. COLOUR MATCHING To bring the designer’s vision to life, GH Décor Ltd liaised with the team at Dulux Decorator Centre Belfast North to colour match the tones required to the products specified. The colour palette included a combination of neutrals, blues and greens that all nod to the hotel’s Victorian heritage. In some cases, the Dulux Decorator Centre
team had to create bespoke tones to exactly match other elements of a room, such as fabrics for soft furnishings. Across a five-month period, GH Décor Ltd transformed the interior of Slieve Donard. Gerald said, “On completion of the works, I received a personal handshake from the general manager at the hotel.

This means that surfaces throughout the building need to withstand regular knocks and scuffs, to maintain the professional finish applied for years to come. “In busy areas such as the ballroom, chandelier room, drawing room and gift shop, I recommended the durable Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell. It contains unique stain-repellent technology that prevents stains from setting into surfaces and makes removing marks easier. To deliver a seamless design, this product was also used on surfaces such as the mouldings, panels, coving and skirting. “For the areas that didn’t require the same
