Feature Wall Painting Services
Chimney Breast Feature Walls
The chimney breast is the most common feature wall in Nottingham’s Victorian stock. Painting it in a deeper shade draws the eye and defines the room.
Your decorator advises on colour choices during the site visit. Deep tones work well in Victorian rooms with high ceilings.
Alcove Painting
Alcoves to either side of a chimney breast are sometimes painted in a third tone. For detailed wall painting, see our interior painting page. Feature walls are also popular in dining room painting projects.
Specialist Finishes
Limewash, colour wash, and mineral paint finishes work well in period rooms. Robin Decorators also covers wallpapering as an alternative.
Feature Wall Before Sale
A well-executed feature wall makes a room look considered in photography.
The Feature Wall Process
1. Site Visit and Colour Advice
Your decorator visits the room, assesses the wall, and discusses colour and finishes options.
2. Surface Preparation
The feature wall is prepared to the same standard as any painted surface. Cracks and holes are filled and sanded.
3. Masking
Adjacent walls, ceiling, cornicing, and architectural features are masked carefully.
4. Paint Application
Two coats are standard for full opacity.
5. Inspection
Your decorator inspects all edges and junctions in raking light before leaving.
