FEATURE WALL FRIDAY! 🔥

1 house. 1 wallpaper. 3 completely different feature walls!

A great little project for a new customer in St George’s Wood, Morpeth, bringing three separate areas of the home together with the same wallpaper design.

All walls were sealed with Zinsser Gardz prior to wallpaper installation, ensuring the correct preparation for a quality finish.

The hallway, stairs and landing walls were also finished in Johnstone’s Trade Acrylic Durable Matt, colour matched to Dulux Frosted Steel – a lovely shade that complements the wallpaper perfectly.

Three feature walls, one consistent look and a finish that really transforms the space. 👌

🤎 ANOTHER RETURNING CUSTOMER’S LIVING ROOM TRANSFORMED WITH FARROW & BALL BROCCOLI BROWN! 🤎

This one took an unexpected turn, but sometimes the best results come from being a little bold with colour!

The original plan was to change the colour on the feature wall areas and chimney breast, keeping the remaining walls in Egyptian Cotton. However, after seeing the first coat of Broccoli Brown by Farrow & Ball, the customer fell in love with the colour and decided to go all in, transforming the entire room with this rich, earthy shade. 🤎

A bold move, but one that has paid off beautifully!
The customer has since sent over photos of the room fully furnished, showing just how stunning the finished result looks.

✨ The finishing touches:

Walls: Farrow & Ball Broccoli Brown throughout, creating a warm, rich and cohesive look.

Ceiling and woodwork: Finished in Brilliant White for a crisp contrast against the deeper wall colour.

Fire: Finished in black satin to complement the door and radiator, tying the whole look together perfectly.

The result is a warm, sophisticated living room with real character — proof that sometimes stepping away from the original plan can make all the difference!

A huge thank you to another returning customer for trusting me with their home once again. 🙌

🧸 Another returning customer — this time, getting the nursery ready for their first little one! 👶🎨

Always great to be welcomed back by returning customers, and this one was a special project as we transformed the nursery in their new-build home, ready for the arrival of their first baby.

As with many new builds, the surfaces needed the right preparation before decorating, from the typical chalky matt finish on the walls to the yellowed gloss woodwork, ensuring everything was properly prepared for a quality, long-lasting finish.

✨ The finishing touches:

⚪ Ceiling: Leyland Trade Low Reflective Matt in Brilliant White for a fresh, clean finish.

🎨 Walls: First Dawn, colour-matched in Acrylic Durable Matt. A lovely choice for a nursery and the perfect backdrop for the upcoming Toy Story theme! 🚀🤠

🤍 Woodwork: Finished in Brilliant White using my go-to satin finish, Johnstone’s Trade AquaGuard, for a crisp, durable finish.

Another room refreshed and ready for its next chapter!

✨ FROM SILK TO STUNNING… ✨

Another returning customer, this time helping transform the living room in their new home.

The previous owners had left the walls finished in silk emulsion, so this was one where the preparation really mattered. Painting straight over silk without the correct preparation can cause adhesion issues, peeling, flaking and an inconsistent finish.

Walls were finished in Johnstone’s Trade Acrylic Durable Matt – Farrow & Ball Mizzle.

To create a beautifully cohesive scheme, the skirting, door frames and radiator were also finished in Mizzle, using Johnstone’s Trade AquaGuard Satin.

The alcoves and a framed feature area on the chimney breast were then finished with new wallpaper, adding texture and creating some real focal points within the room.

The finishing touch will come later, with the customer installing a new oak mantle, which will complement the Mizzle and wallpaper perfectly.

A completely different feel for the room — achieved through careful preparation, quality products and a well-considered colour scheme.

🏡 New home. Fresh look. Beautiful finish.

✨ ANOTHER RETURNING CUSTOMER — AND WHAT A TRANSFORMATION! ✨

This time, it was the kitchen and sun room getting a full decoration and a complete change of feel.

The kitchen units were given plenty of attention, with every cupboard door — front and back — and all unit sides thoroughly cleaned, prepped and primed with Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3+ to ensure maximum adhesion.

The finish? Johnstone’s Trade AquaGuard Matt in Mermaids Lagoon. 🩵

A bold but beautifully considered colour that completely transforms the kitchen.

The ceilings and walls were also fully prepped before being finished in Johnstone’s Trade Acrylic Durable Matt — April Breeze. 🌿

April Breeze works brilliantly alongside the Mermaids Lagoon units and, looking through into the sun room and garden, ties beautifully into the surrounding greens. A huge improvement from the previous magnolia, creating a much fresher, brighter and more cohesive space.

The kitchen door frame and skirting were finished in Johnstone’s Trade AquaGuard Gloss — Brilliant White, tying in perfectly with the existing PVC skirting in the sun room.

And to finish it all off… new handles fitted to every cupboard/drawers. 👌

A great example of how the right preparation, quality products and carefully chosen colours can completely transform a space without changing the kitchen itself.

Another happy returning customer — thank you for choosing S Cuthbertson Decorating once again.

Back at Bradley Fell Farm

A return visit to Bradley Fell Farm, this time to give the kitchen a fresh new look.

With its impressive high vaulted ceiling and beautiful exposed beams, all areas were carefully prepared before being finished in Brilliant White durable matt emulsion — leaving the space looking fresh, bright and beautifully clean.

And to finish off the exterior season, I also completed two doors, finished in Brilliant White Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin for a hard-wearing, durable finish.

Another transformation completed with the usual focus on thorough preparation and a quality finish. 👌

🔥 What a difference a fresh exterior finish can make! 🔥

Back at a returning customer this week, giving this beautiful barn conversion the exterior refresh it deserves.

As always, preparation is key. Any defects and areas of flaking paint are carefully dealt with before applying the Johnstone’s Trade Stormshield system — primer/undercoat followed by the durable satin topcoat.

🎨 Colour: Wild Primrose by Dulux

A fresh, high-quality finish that enhances the character of this stunning property while providing durable protection against the elements.

✨ A Fresh New Look in Winlaton! ✨

A quick freshen up for a returning customer — and what a difference it’s made!

With new charcoal & oak doors and acoustic panels already fitted, it was time to bring the rest of the room together.

The existing light grey walls and dark grey alcoves were transformed into Brilliant White, finished in a durable matt emulsion. This has really brightened the space and complements the new acoustic panels and doors perfectly.

The woodwork was prepped and finished in Johnstone’s Trade AquaGuard Satin – Brilliant White, giving it a tough, durable and easy-to-maintain finish.

Another transformation completed — another happy returning customer!
