The project in detail
This sitting room makeover had more going on than most. The centrepiece is a mural we installed, a feature that immediately gives the room a sense of considered design and genuine personality. The ceiling and woodwork were painted to match each other, creating a unified frame around the room. That lets the rich, contrasting wall colour, which holds its own against the mural, do the real work. Ceiling, walls, and woodwork were all finished in Valspar paint supplied by the customer, tinted to their specification. All the woodwork, including skirting, architraves, window reveals, and picture rail, is painted in customer-supplied Valspar, giving those details a crisp, durable finish. The customer fitted a beautiful decorative light fitting to complete the room, and it works perfectly with the scheme. The overall effect is a sitting room that feels genuinely designed rather than just redecorated, with every element thought through and the result reflecting that.
