Based in Stow-on-the-Wold and working across the region, we are the trusted interior decorator Cotswolds homeowners turn to when the quality of the result genuinely matters.

What's Included?
1
Wall and Ceiling Preparation
Every project begins with thorough, methodical preparation. We fill, sand, and prime all surfaces before a single coat of paint is applied, ensuring walls and ceilings are smooth, stable, and ready to take colour evenly. Cracks, hairline fractures, and blemishes are addressed properly, not covered over, so your finish looks exceptional from day one and holds its quality for years to come.
2
Precise Woodwork Finishing
Our woodwork finishing is where true craftsmanship shows. Sash windows, skirting boards, architraves, dado rails, and panelled doors are rubbed down, primed, and painted to a precise, clean edge with no bleed onto walls or glass. We work methodically throughout, treating every length of timber with the same care whether it sits in a hallway or a principal bedroom.
3
Bespoke Colour Consultation
Choosing the right colour is as important as the painting itself. We take time to understand your vision, consider existing furnishings, natural light, and the character of each space, and help you arrive at a palette that works beautifully in practice, not just on a sample card. We also advise on finish types, from flat mattes to eggshells and satinwoods, so every surface is treated in a way that is both practical and visually right.

Decorating Cotswolds Period Properties
Cotswolds homes present decorating challenges that demand genuine expertise. Traditional lime plaster requires breathable primers and careful application to avoid cracking or moisture issues over time. Historic cornicing and ceiling roses must be cut in cleanly and preserved with precision.
Character cottages with uneven walls, low beams, and original features call for adaptive techniques developed over decades, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
We work confidently with premium paint brands including Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, and Benjamin Moore, heritage and specialist ranges formulated to perform on historic substrates and deliver the rich, lasting colour that these exceptional homes deserve.

Expert Advice
How do you choose a colour scheme for a period property?
For a Cotswolds period property, this typically means selecting warm, muted tones from heritage ranges such as Farrow & Ball or Little Greene — palettes formulated specifically to complement aged surfaces and traditional materials. Finish choice matters equally: flat mattes suit imperfect lime-plaster walls, while eggshell provides durability on woodwork without looking clinical. An experienced decorator can guide this process from the first site visit.
How long does it take to paint an average room?
An average room repaint takes 1 to 2 days, including preparation, dustless sanding and two coats of premium paint.
Do you use premium paint brands?
Yes, we use Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, Benjamin Moore and Edward Bulmer, known for exceptional depth of colour and durability.
How do you prepare interior walls before painting?
We prepare walls by filling, sanding, cleaning, priming, and ensuring surfaces are smooth and ready for a flawless finish.
Can you help choose colours for my home?
Yes, we offer colour consultation using heritage palettes and modern schemes suited to Cotswold interiors and period features.
Do you protect furniture and flooring during interior work?
All furniture and flooring are fully protected with dust sheets, masking, and clean‑room preparation before any work begins.
