Key Challenge
Completing a full redecoration to a tight move-in deadline without compromising quality
The Challenge
A beautiful house on St Bernard’s Crescent in Edinburgh’s sought-after Stockbridge area. The client had just purchased the property and wanted the living room and study redecorated before their moving date — creating a fresh, welcoming home ready from day one.
The challenge was time. The entire decoration — wallpaper removal, surface prep, new wallpaper, full repaint, and woodwork — had to be completed to a high standard within a fixed window. No cutting corners, no compromises.
Our Approach
Protection and Strip-Out
Full protection of floors and furniture, followed by careful removal of existing wallpaper throughout the rooms.
Surface Preparation
All surfaces thoroughly prepared — filling and sanding where needed to achieve a smooth, even base for both paint and new wallpaper.
Wallpapering
New wallpaper hung using Colefax & Fowler — a premium paper that required precise pattern matching and careful application for a flawless result.
Painting
Walls and ceilings fully repainted to brighten the space. Woodwork sanded, prepared, and finished in Farrow & Ball Savage — a rich, elegant tone that adds depth and warmth to the rooms.
Final Detailing
Thorough clean-up and final detailing, leaving the property in perfect condition and ready to move into on schedule.
The Result
A brighter, cleaner, and more inviting home — completed on time and exactly to the client’s brief. The combination of Colefax & Fowler wallpaper and Farrow & Ball Savage woodwork gives both the living room and study an elegant, timeless quality.
From the moment the client moved in, the rooms felt finished, considered, and ready to enjoy.
