The project in detail
A bedroom that doubles as a home gym presents an interesting decorating challenge. You want a space that feels calm enough to sleep in but energising enough to work out in. For this Faringdon project, we found exactly the right balance with a colour palette chosen by the customer that manages to do both. The main walls are finished in a bold, characterful tone that gives the gym area real energy and focus, while the overall finish remains clean and considered enough to feel like a proper bedroom when needed. All surfaces were properly prepared and primed before the application of Dulux Trade White Emulsion on the ceiling and Dulux Trade Diamond Matt Emulsion on the walls, chosen for durability and quality of finish in a room that sees more physical activity than most. The woodwork was finished throughout in Johnstones Trade Aquaguard Satin, with a crisp, clean result that keeps the space feeling fresh and open. It was a really satisfying project: practical, purposeful, and genuinely good-looking.
