Victorian and Edwardian Reception Rooms

Properties on Norham Gardens and Banbury Road have drawing rooms with ceilings of 3.5 metres or more. We work top to bottom: ceiling, then walls, then woodwork.

Chimney Breast and Alcove Treatment

We advise on the colour relationship between chimney breast, alcoves, and field colour. See our feature wall painting page for more detail.

Colour Advice for Living Rooms

Farrow & Ball and Little Greene are the most commonly chosen for Victorian sitting rooms. We advise on shades suited to your room’s light conditions.

Woodwork and Original Features

Deep skirting boards, architraves, window surrounds, and panelled doors are a significant proportion of the room’s character. See our interior painting page.

Ceiling Height and Cornicing

A 3.8-metre ceiling with 25cm cornicing takes significantly longer than a standard height room.

Period Woodwork

Deep skirting boards, picture rails, and chimney breast overmantel all add surface area.
