High-End Interior Decorating in Kensington

The preparation was just as important as the painting itself on this Kensington project. We started by protecting the existing herringbone flooring with Q1 Floor ProBoard before any work began. We then repaired cracks, holes and open joints, filling and sanding the affected areas before priming them ready for painting.

The property’s cornices, skirting, architraves and panelled doors needed particular care. We focused on keeping the lines sharp and the original detail clear, while making sure the finish was even across every surface. The fitted wardrobes and joinery were also carefully prepared and painted, with extra attention needed across the large flat surfaces.

We used a selection of Farrow & Ball finishes throughout, alongside Dulux Trade Brilliant White Matt on selected ceilings. Where rollers were used, we tipped the paint off by brush to achieve the controlled, brush-led finish specified for the project.

Once the protection was removed, the difference was clear. The repairs blended into the surrounding surfaces, the architectural details remained crisp and the same consistent finish carried throughout the walls, woodwork, doors and joinery.

For us, a good decorating job comes down to doing the basics properly — protecting the property, preparing the surfaces and taking care with the details.
