Painted walls. Feature wall added.

Sounds straightforward. It isn’t.

Everything behind it has to be right first —
or the finish never quite settles.

This one does.

Large-scale digitally printed wall mural installation completed for Sotheby’s.

Murals like this allow an entire wall to become part of the interior design, transforming the space by introducing artwork at architectural scale.

Reproduced from high-resolution artwork, the mural creates a striking visual backdrop within the stairwell and helps shape the atmosphere of the space as you move through it.
Feature walls like this work particularly well in stairwells, hallways and living spaces where a single wall can make a strong visual impact.
The short video shows the finished installation once the mural was fully in place.

If you’ve ever considered creating a feature wall in your own home, a digitally printed mural can be a powerful way to introduce artwork, colour and personality into a space.

A small insight from a recent assessment of a period property in Blackheath.

Older buildings often carry several layers of previous repairs and coatings over time. In this case we discovered areas where exterior paint had begun to fail due to earlier repairs and incompatible materials being applied.

Buildings of this age behave differently from modern ones. Timber moves, traditional substrates need breathable coatings, and preparation is critical if decoration is going to last.
Good decorating always begins with understanding what lies beneath the surface.

Large format wall murals require careful setting out before installation begins.

When working at architectural scale, even small variations can affect alignment across the entire wall, so preparation and control are essential throughout the process.

This installation was completed for Sotheby’s, where large printed murals were used to create atmosphere around particular works of art.

Large open-plan spaces look simple once finished…
but decorating them properly takes careful preparation and planning.
Long wall runs, different lighting angles and natural light from skylights all affect how the finish appears across the room.
The goal is always the same:
a calm, consistent finish throughout the entire space.

Decorating problems often begin long before the new paint or wallpaper goes on.

Here, modern paint had been applied directly over distemper — a traditional chalk-based finish commonly found in older properties.

Because distemper remains soft and powdery, modern coatings struggle to bond to it. Over time the paint film simply loses adhesion and begins to peel away.

In situations like this the only reliable approach is to remove the unstable layers and deal with the substrate properly before any new finish is applied.

Good decorating always starts with understanding what lies beneath the surface.

Large format wallcoverings require careful preparation long before installation begins.

Wide-width vinyls demand space, planning and precise organisation so each drop can be measured, cut and prepared accurately before reaching the wall.

Specialist table systems allow the material to be handled cleanly and controlled across its full width ahead of installation.

Preparation and completed installation for a show home wallcovering project within a St George development in Colindale, North London.

Installing traditional patterned wallcoverings in large period interiors requires careful control and precision.

Across wide surfaces and at height, wallpaper will naturally try to twist and pull as it is positioned on the wall. What appears perfectly straight at the ceiling can easily fall out of alignment further down if tension and pattern control are not maintained.

Constant adjustment, careful handling and experience are essential to keep the pattern balanced throughout the room.

A pleasure to install such a beautifully detailed design.

Good decorating should look effortless.

In reality, it rarely is.

Complete restoration and redecoration of a bedroom within a period property.

Original wallcoverings were stripped back to expose ageing lathe and plaster surfaces, allowing repairs and stabilisation to be carried out before any decoration began. The room was then fully lined to protect the substrate and create a consistent foundation for finishing.
With the structure properly prepared, a calm painted scheme was introduced, finished with a single feature wall to bring character back into the space without overwhelming it.
Good decorating isn’t simply about applying paint or paper — it begins with understanding what sits beneath the surface.

Full room drench decorative scheme within a chalet-style property.

The sloped ceilings typical of this 1970s build made surface irregularities and historic jointing work particularly visible under changing light conditions. Textured finishes were removed and the ceiling re-plastered to achieve a smooth, uniform surface suitable for refinement.

Existing blown vinyl wallcoverings were also stripped back to allow for consistently flat wall surfaces throughout, creating the foundation required for a cohesive finish.
A full room drench was specified as the most appropriate solution for the space, allowing walls, ceilings and architectural elements to read as one continuous form. This approach softens visual interruption and shifts focus away from substrate inconsistencies, creating a calmer and more balanced interior — a direction agreed with the client prior to decoration.

Interior decorating carried out for a private residence in Kent.

Installation of a one-piece stairwell mural at Sotheby’s Auction House.

Working at this scale, a single-piece mural develops natural tension as it is introduced to the surface, requiring continual control to maintain alignment throughout its full height and length.

Stairwell environments present multiple sightlines and changing levels, where proportion and balance become immediately apparent. Careful setting out and controlled handling ensure the artwork settles comfortably within the architectural setting.

Developed through experience, this level of precision allows complex installations to be undertaken with measured control as part of our everyday practice.
