A period house in Hampstead Heath provided a wealth of period features that the client wanted to accentuate with a bold colour scheme. Millennium Contracts were selected to meet the project's requirements of preserving the property's character with a modern aesthetic, they told us how the project was delivered...
The impressive residential period property in Hampstead Heath had been extended and renovated. The client wanted to accentuate the wealth of period features inside the property with a bold colour scheme of dark blue, greens, greys, and whites. We specified Farrow and Ball for the project as the paint's depth of colour and opacity matched the requirements, the main shades being Hague Blue, Hazy, Breakfast Room Green, and Stoke.
The first job was to ensure complete protection of the windows, worktops, furniture and flooring before stripping down all the existing finishes. The stripped surfaces were prepared with filler and sanded down before the woodwork was undercoated. We applied a mist coat to the walls before a further application of two topcoats. All the cornice mouldings and ceiling roses were hand-painted with a brush.
This was a large property, and we had a challenging timescale of two weeks to finish the house, which meant some completion of the work out of hours, tight project management, and the team's dedication to deliver the project successfully.
The outcome was a striking display of colour and finishes. The kitchen is positioned at the front of the house, retaining much of the original Victorian detail while being set against dark blue bespoke cabinets. Once you step out of the kitchen and into the dining room, the walls are painted green, and the ceilings are white to create a natural and modern aesthetic. Upstairs each of the bedrooms have a distinct colour to give character and charm.
The client was delighted with the result noting “The painters and decorators were extremely helpful and were experts in their trade.”
