As I started my first business restoring antiques, it stood to reason that with a love of interiors and colours my passion would grow into designing and creating empathetic paint finishes for historic, ancient and listed homes.

I use paint analysis for specific detailed restoration, allowing me to fully restore colours and paint finishes on completion of any structural work necessary in maintaining and upgrading these remarkable residences.
Using bespoke, hand mixed colours, I design and create subtly aged paint finishes for walls, ceilings and woodwork. Together with the traditional decorative art of marbling, wood graining and gilding, a full specialist interior decoration scheme is offered.
I accept commissions nation and worldwide.

Victorian Entrance Hall

All bespoke colours designed into multiple paint effects combine to give a typically rich Victorian scheme.

Here’s the process.
