The project in detail
This Faringdon bedroom came to us in poor shape, with damaged walls, failing plaster, extensive cracking, and an old purple finish that had well and truly run its course. Before any paint went on, the room needed proper attention: cracks filled and reinforced, failing areas cut back and made good, surfaces primed and prepared correctly throughout. That preparation work is unglamorous, but it's what determines whether a finished room holds up over time or starts to show problems within a year. Once the surfaces were ready, the room was redecorated throughout in Farrow & Ball, a warm, sophisticated palette that feels considered and calm rather than showy. Ceiling, walls, and all woodwork were finished in sequence, with careful cutting-in at every junction. The before and after photos show the full extent of the transformation.
