Grade 2 Listed Building External Decoration - Leon Shaw

It’s often the case that a bright and neutral finish is all that’s needed to bring the right level of impact to a room - this kitchen has many features including two tone cupboards, sky lights, roof angles, a lantern and huge doors - there isn’t any need for feature walls or bold colour statements.

This new build home had quite a dramatic entrance with a double height ceiling and glass staircase. 

A pale finish helped keep it bright and stopped the space from being overbearing.

Posted @withregram • @farrowandball Black paint doesn't have to be daunting. In fact, it can create intimate and inviting spaces, whether you drench it over every surface or use it as your accent colour.

#OffBlack (used differently in these three stylish spaces) is often a go-to for those who want to make a bold statement without the strength of a true black, and we just adore how it looks 🖤

Head to our stories to discover a few ways to use this soft black in your home!

The owner of this Victorian property in Lady Bay chose to have their old wooden doors replaced with quality new ones made by @cottagejoinerynottingham 

They went for a soft green finish - @farrowandball #vertedeterre 

Not only do they look smart, they are solid and secure too 👌🏻

The stonework was also repaired and painted and new ironmongery fitted giving the entrance a clean finish.

Not all jobs are planned by interior designers - some are essential finishes for offices, factories, rental properties, shops, restaurants, basements, warehouses… 

It’s not always glamorous but we always apply our knowledge and expertise.

This floor has been given a new solid and clean surface with @johnstonespaint #epoxyfloor paint, in a forgiving dark grey.

If there were ever a good example of ‘before and after’ photos… the paintwork on this beautiful property was well overdue a makeover and we worked tirelessly to bring it to its former glory before the weather turned.

Circa 1907, the Mapperley Park home boasted elegance of the era with beautiful features such as stained glass windows and decorative wooden soffits.

Unfortunately lots of the wood needed repairing or replacing but as you can see the exterior has now been given a new lease of life.

@duluxuk recently shared their colour of the year for 2022.

‘Bright Skies’ is a subtle blue that still gives a calm and cool mood as you would get with other neutrals like white, but offers an added pop of interest.

Is it blue enough for you? Or not stark enough?

It often doesn’t occur to people that they can change the colour of their metal garage door, but with the right preparation and correct paint this can be done.

Much cheaper than replacing your garage door and you can completely alter the appearance of your property!

It was all hands on deck to complete the exterior of this West Bridgford Home.

The wooden windows were in need of some tlc, and so we ensured they were properly repaired and prepared before finishing with a brighter colour.

It’s satisfying to see work completed over 4 years ago still looking on point 👌🏻

This 3d wallpaper has a neoprene / foam texture to it. It sits in total contrast next to the brick wall and gives the lounge area of the Crown Plaza Hotel a modern feel.

It required a scaffolding platform for us to fit and we definitely needed get the installation right first time!

Could the walls in your home pull off such a statement feature wall or do you reckon it suits commercial venues only?

Is it a mirror? Is it a door frame?

The continuation of the same wallpaper, panelling and colours from a stairwell to the neighbouring room can play mind games on people!

Would it work in your house?

Posted @withregram • @cole_and_son_wallpapers Delicately hand-painted to emulate silken hand stitches, Court Embroidery is inspired by an early 19th century waistcoat from @historicroyalpalaces’ Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection. Paired here with Library Frieze, which takes the timeless feature of wooden panelling and translates it into an elegant wallpaper which can be combined with many of the Great Masters’ designs.

When it comes to painting the exterior of your house, it’s not something you want to be doing frequently.

That’s why it’s best to be thorough and get a better finish that will last longer.

It’s not uncommon for the gable woodwork, fascias and soffits to be rotten and we can organise for this to be replaced or repaired as well as any re-rendering that may be needed. 

While we are up there we even clear out your gutters - just all part of getting the job done properly. 👌🏻

This family have had a custom made bunk room built in their new home and the children will have one super cool sleepover room when it’s finished.

We used Farrow and Ball eggshell to make it more hardwearing and the blue tone adds a nice pop of colour rather than just white.

Surely there isn’t a child out there who wouldn’t absolutely love this luxury dormitory?!

More often than not bathrooms are light and bright... this room is definitely on the dark side with even the ceiling painted a dark green.

Which do you prefer? Dark and cosy spa or bright and refreshing?

Sometimes timescales can be a challenge... this job was a whole house that needed completing in two weeks, and we did it! 💪🏻

We had started the project at the beginning of 2020, but then lockdown happened and our customer had to shield and so we were unable to finish the job.

Understandably the client wanted to be as cautious as possible and so waited until this month to get us back in.

They stayed in an Airbnb and we had a two week deadline until they were moving back in. In that time we fully decorated their home and they were delighted upon their return.

We have a cherry picker on site for this external job in Mapperley Park.

The project includes working alongside @millwoodjoinery to replace the woodwork in the gable.

The size of the property has called for us to use a sprayer for the masonry to provide total coverage and stay efficient with time. 

Swipe to see the work in progress, and how the house has already been transformed!

When considering your colour scheme why stick to the shapes of the walls that are already there?

Colour blocking is becoming more popular, with various shapes in bold and contrasting colours.

Happy bank holiday! ☀️

The recent good weather has allowed us to crack on with a fair amount of exterior painting, including giving these entrance walls some tlc...

Some of the render was cracked and blown and lots of the paint was peeling, so the first task was to scrape off the paint back to bare render.
We repaired and filled where needed and then stabilised with @johnstonespaint Stabiliser. 
We applied 3 coats of Pliolite masonry paint to give it the full works.

We also brought the wooden gates back to life with @osmo_uk woodstain and UV Protection oil.

The end result - a smart entrance with increased curb appeal 👌🏻

With big windows like this one you can let the outdoors provide the colour in your room - and it will be ever changing through the year!

The white walls alongside the brick feature wall give the perfect frame.

When we photographed this beautiful project in Barnes a few years ago, we basked in the sunshine that flooded into this glass roofed dining extension. Capturing sun, natural daylight and views are the most important element when you are designing spaces, so always make them your first priority!

This loft room has been given a fresh makeover and is ready to be used as a proper room rather than just storage.

The customer had the room skimmed which gives a crisp surface for painting. 

We used Danish oil on the exposed beams and @johnstonespaint oil based eggshell for a hard-wearing finish to the wooden floor. 
The walls are a dark @farrowandball and to keep the room as bright as possible the ceiling was a contrasting white.
