Victorian House Living Room Redecoration
A complete living room transformation in a Victorian Edinburgh property — period-appropriate colours, careful preparation of original plasterwork and cornicing, and a flawless finish throughout. The same approach we bring to Portobello’s Victorian seaside villas.

About Portobello
Portobello is one of Edinburgh’s most distinctive neighbourhoods — a Victorian seaside resort that became part of the city in 1896, stretching along two miles of beach on the Firth of Forth. The area is known for the Promenade, the Portobello Swim Centre, and the independent shops and cafes along the High Street. Properties range from grand Victorian seaside villas on Abercorn Terrace and John Street to the traditional tenements of Bath Street, Edwardian terraces along King’s Road, and more recent flats close to the beachfront. Each property type brings its own decorating considerations — from restoring period features and coastal-exposed exterior woodwork in older homes to achieving durable modern finishes in newer builds. Bert’s Decorating has the experience to handle them all.
