This living room redecoration in Hither Green focused on transforming the existing space through a bold, coordinated colour scheme. Midnight Teal was applied across the walls, skirting boards, picture rail, fireplace surround and existing shelving, with selected shelving compartments finished in contrasting Pugin Red. The radiator was also finished in a dark tone, while the ceiling, cornices and door were kept white to create a clean contrast and retain the room‘s original architectural character.
Before the redecoration began, the living room featured predominantly white walls and joinery, with the existing shelving, fireplace surround and radiator all finished in lighter tones. The original timber floor, decorative cornices, picture rail and other period details were retained as part of the room‘s character, while the space was prepared for the new colour scheme.
The existing built-in shelving was prepared for redecoration before the new colour scheme was introduced. Midnight Teal was used as the main finish across the shelving structure, while selected compartments were painted Pugin Red to create a bold contrast and add visual depth to the feature wall.
The completed shelving feature wall was finished predominantly in Midnight Teal, with selected compartments highlighted in Pugin Red to create a strong visual contrast. The existing shelving was transformed into a bold focal point while retaining its original structure and proportions.
The wider room was completed in the same coordinated scheme, with Midnight Teal continuing across the walls, skirting boards, picture rail and fireplace surround. The radiator was finished in a dark tone to complement the palette, while the white ceiling, cornices and door provide a crisp contrast. The restored fireplace remains a strong period feature within the newly redecorated room.
