Every room deserves to feel welcoming, and a fresh coat of paint can completely transform the way a space looks and feels. This dining room project is a perfect example of how preparation, attention to detail, and the right choice of paint can elevate a room.&nbsp; The Starting Point The dining room was ready for an update. The walls and woodwork needed thorough preparation to create a smooth surface for painting, and the colour scheme no longer reflected the homeowner’s style. A tired finish can quickly make even a beautiful room feel flat, so it was time for a refresh.<figure id="figure-xdnokv50x5meojluqr"><img id="xdnokv50x5meojluqr" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/2dsDVBRuzNoT0yZST9j0zSjwe0ai4CFikD0oLA0Vnq4uOl8Ehq4AUXF6x3vinx8v.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/2dsDVBRuzNoT0yZST9j0zSjwe0ai4CFikD0oLA0Vnq4uOl8Ehq4AUXF6x3vinx8v.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure>&nbsp; The Transformation Process The ceiling was prepared and painted in a clean, bright Farrow and Ball All-white Modern Emulsion finish to maximise light and give the room a crisp, fresh feel. Once the surface was ready, modern recessed spotlights were installed, providing even lighting across the whole bathroom.Not only do LED spotlights create a sleek, contemporary look, they’re also practical — especially in bathrooms where good lighting is essential.<figure id="figure-ll9gz94eyemeojquo1"><img id="ll9gz94eyemeojquo1" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/38oGVuqUErGIJSlTjFgEE7A37hDAJ8si4LykqMwljxPEeiWUknjkoUjUlGnfkj7q.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 95% 30%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="95%" data-positiony="30%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/38oGVuqUErGIJSlTjFgEE7A37hDAJ8si4LykqMwljxPEeiWUknjkoUjUlGnfkj7q.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 95% 30%;"></figure><figure id="figure-5md1ef6s0omeojsods"><img id="5md1ef6s0omeojsods" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/3B7pNvjpWpUMA6vD05b6kS7ZBVjESpISDBYPqvYRD97lyNcAx816gm1eYyRyhXY9.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 0% 45%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="0%" data-positiony="45%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/3B7pNvjpWpUMA6vD05b6kS7ZBVjESpISDBYPqvYRD97lyNcAx816gm1eYyRyhXY9.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 0% 45%;"></figure>&nbsp; The Result The difference is clear to see. The dining room now feels brighter, fresher, and far more inviting. Wimborne White Estate Emulsion has given the room an elegant, timeless look, while the All White Eggshell woodwork adds a touch of refinement and durability.It’s a transformation that highlights the importance of thorough preparation and high-quality finishes — and shows just how much of an impact redecorating can have on the feel of a home.&nbsp; ✨ Thinking about refreshing your dining room or any other space in your home?

Dining Room Redecoration with Farrow & Ball

Bathroom Ceiling Transformation – From Bare Plaster to Sleek Perfection Bathrooms are one of the most important rooms in any home — they need to be functional, but also a place where you can relax. A tired or unfinished ceiling can really let a space down, even if the rest of the room looks great.This recent project shows just how much difference a new ceiling and lighting upgrade can make.&nbsp; The Starting Point When I arrived, the bathroom ceiling had just been freshly plastered. The old Artex was gone, but the room still felt unfinished and a little dark.<figure id="figure-xdnokv50x5meojluqr"><img id="xdnokv50x5meojluqr" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/2aXDxMMguWZNNg58LWxcQCfTFSfQD7c25fH4T0AruX3viapLekeWouxIbrh6gNro.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/2aXDxMMguWZNNg58LWxcQCfTFSfQD7c25fH4T0AruX3viapLekeWouxIbrh6gNro.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>&nbsp; The Transformation Process The ceiling was prepared and painted in a clean, bright Farrow and Ball All-white Modern Emulsion finish to maximise light and give the room a crisp, fresh feel.

The combination of a flawless painted surface and discreet, energy-efficient lighting makes the bathroom feel brighter, bigger, and more modern. The tiled walls now stand out beautifully under the new lighting, and the overall effect is calm, stylish, and functional.This project is a great example of how small changes — like plastering, painting, and upgrading the lighting — can completely transform a space without needing a full renovation.

Bathroom Ceiling Transformation – From Artex to Sleek Perfection

A client’s home has been transformed with a vibrant, colour-drenched Dulux palette, bringing energy, warmth, and style to every corner. The combination of carefully selected shades creates a striking yet harmonious environment that elevates the entire space.Hall: Walls and ceiling: Dulux Ivory Lace – a soft, neutral base that enhances natural light and creates a sense of openness. Feature wall at the end: Dulux Cinnamon Sprinkle – a rich, warm tone that adds depth and personality, making a statement without overwhelming the space. Woodwork: Dulux Brilliant White Gloss – crisp, clean, and timeless, providing a perfect contrast to the coloured walls and highlighting architectural details. Sitting Room: Feature wall: Dulux Cinnamon Sprinkle – a bold focal point that draws the eye and anchors the room, providing a sense of drama and sophistication.

Colour-Drenched Makeover: Hall and Sitting room

This tired and leaking shower corner got a full refresh. The old sealant was completely removed, cleaned out, and the area was prepared properly to ensure a watertight finish. I then resealed the entire base with a crisp, clean new seal—bringing it back to looking as good as new. Small jobs like this make a big difference, protecting your bathroom and keeping it looking its best.<figure id="figure-xpdyc2i6ommdk92mpw"><img id="xpdyc2i6ommdk92mpw" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/3bKOdId1TML6UGmvlCfJdpoJzzLQk5cFDd8OX5GQz3IZwJtO0vUBMRB0FfiJTmuz.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 45% 45%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="Before" data-positionx="45%" data-positiony="45%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/3bKOdId1TML6UGmvlCfJdpoJzzLQk5cFDd8OX5GQz3IZwJtO0vUBMRB0FfiJTmuz.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 45% 45%;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">Before</figcaption></figure><figure id="figure-vzj2jy7k6hmdkbuv44"><img id="vzj2jy7k6hmdkbuv44" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/39rnRcGK6Cwr7OBbgbxaS1e7oIda9R55jK7wWUu0rpjhph5ecpZUFfrEqLjBkw9t.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 45% 45%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="45%" data-positiony="45%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/39rnRcGK6Cwr7OBbgbxaS1e7oIda9R55jK7wWUu0rpjhph5ecpZUFfrEqLjBkw9t.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 45% 45%;"></figure><figure id="figure-9865mxbh8mdk9294j"><img id="9865mxbh8mdk9294j" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/33RNQi2unuMsbMFs5qJNdFe8QfvQH85rSMSYVio1dzh5R20o2usfkKowIHSjg8Hv.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/33RNQi2unuMsbMFs5qJNdFe8QfvQH85rSMSYVio1dzh5R20o2usfkKowIHSjg8Hv.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure>

Whether it’s cabinetry, shelving, or full room refits, I deliver practical, durable solutions tailored to your needs.<figure id="figure-xpdyc2i6ommdk92mpw"><img id="xpdyc2i6ommdk92mpw" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2aISG0qGA8LNyCv8pzwi3gRxa5FeNNuKb0SCmFK4Qw6O5rVyEAokbMNHyhdUIj6n.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 45% 45%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="Before" data-positionx="45%" data-positiony="45%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2aISG0qGA8LNyCv8pzwi3gRxa5FeNNuKb0SCmFK4Qw6O5rVyEAokbMNHyhdUIj6n.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 45% 45%;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">Before</figcaption></figure><figure id="figure-vzj2jy7k6hmdkbuv44"><img id="vzj2jy7k6hmdkbuv44" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2aAVfZ6LzrGYWp225vdG6hciaYtrCs8iT0WTgy7ePSvMTEatiAnbwI9vVDwZhDuY.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 45% 45%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="45%" data-positiony="45%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2aAVfZ6LzrGYWp225vdG6hciaYtrCs8iT0WTgy7ePSvMTEatiAnbwI9vVDwZhDuY.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 45% 45%;"></figure><figure id="figure-9865mxbh8mdk9294j"><img id="9865mxbh8mdk9294j" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/9wVq2hZqZGUNlNFmOzw0jTO2F4AaipetQ71Yh3WlOZfv2FVM7dTg4ZRCSs119Ak5.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/9wVq2hZqZGUNlNFmOzw0jTO2F4AaipetQ71Yh3WlOZfv2FVM7dTg4ZRCSs119Ak5.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure><figure id="figure-ss8nm870xnmdkbv16y"><img id="ss8nm870xnmdkbv16y" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/11RZdZPLOnpGdVNNZHwlaC7pZsblItV05M9DmFprY0LlcBCE9lxCKp621FK2bo7l.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionX="undefined" data-positionY="undefined" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure>

Care Home Medication Room Refurbishment

Last week, I had the pleasure of transforming a office space in Cambridgeshire with a fresh new oak laminate floor — a small upgrade that made a huge difference.The client wanted something modern, low-maintenance, and durable that would brighten up the space and work well with the rest of the home. Oak-effect laminate was the perfect choice — offering the warm, natural look of real wood without the high cost or upkeep.I removed the old flooring and carefully prepped the subfloor to ensure a smooth, level finish. The oak laminate was laid with precision, giving a seamless, professional finish with clean transitions at the doorways and edges. The room now feels lighter, cleaner, and much more inviting — a comfortable and stylish space to work from every day<figure id="figure-xpdyc2i6ommdk92mpw"><img id="xpdyc2i6ommdk92mpw" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2fd4QjlbVZc7ahFxoUnFdima6AzK3G8w4M7gTA8PMPrq8tPMr5Qloul01ETs7jJy.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 45% 45%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="45%" data-positiony="45%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2fd4QjlbVZc7ahFxoUnFdima6AzK3G8w4M7gTA8PMPrq8tPMr5Qloul01ETs7jJy.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 45% 45%;"></figure><figure id="figure-9865mxbh8mdk9294j" class=""><img id="9865mxbh8mdk9294j" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/8JwGYOayEwhlnZijc0YwmZHlNtDuhjmS8V39tNrNKv8kQdP0d55ZcgSYx63I7Jdp.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/8JwGYOayEwhlnZijc0YwmZHlNtDuhjmS8V39tNrNKv8kQdP0d55ZcgSYx63I7Jdp.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>
