About this service
What this service involves
Decorative finishes go beyond ordinary paint — think hand-troweled plasters, limewashes, textured coatings and polished surfaces that catch the light and add real character to a room. They take specialist skill and the right materials, applied with patience. Tell us the look you're hoping for and we'll help connect you with a local decorator who offers specialist decorative finishes.

Why use a professional
The benefit of getting it done properly
Practical reasons a professional finish is worth it for this kind of work.
Genuine character
Hand-applied finishes have a depth and movement that flat paint simply can't match.
Light and movement
Polished and troweled surfaces shift in tone as the light moves through the day.
Period-appropriate
Limewash and plaster suit older properties in a way modern emulsions don't.
Durable surfaces
Properly applied plasters are hard-wearing and long-lasting.
