NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle luxury painting, decorating and specialist finishes in Holland Park W11. Decoration is priced room by room, after a survey. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.

Holland Park is big detached and semi detached villas on wide, tree lined roads. Rooms are generous and the light is soft. Decoration here should feel settled and unforced. The walls need to look old in a good way.

The area sits within conservation areas, and some villas are listed. Where one is, listed building consent covers the inside too. The western edge meets Hammersmith and Fulham, so we confirm each borough. Repainting a front can bring Article 4 rules into play.

Walls in a period villa are often lime plaster. A modern vinyl coat traps damp behind it and the surface blisters. Limewash, clay or mineral paint lets the wall breathe. They also give a soft, chalky depth that flat emulsion cannot.

We worked just east in Kensington W8. Its living room has a glazed wall onto a planted light well. The same discipline carries over to a villa. One team plans, protects, prices and finishes it.
