Luxury decorators in South Kensington.

NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle luxury painting, decorating and specialist finishes in South Kensington SW7. Decoration is priced room by room, after a survey. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.

South Kensington is tall white terraces, mansion blocks and small mews houses. Ceilings carry deep cornices, and shutters fold into the reveals. Decoration here is mostly about restraint. The mouldings are the show, and the paint should serve them.

Most of the area is conservation area, and windows and doors are judged closely. Cornices, shutters and fireplaces are recorded before design starts, listed or not. In a block, the managing agent sets working hours and the licence for alterations. Mews access is narrow, so deliveries are planned ahead.

Many layers of old paint can blur a cornice until its profile is lost. We lift the old coats and repair any losses in plaster. Missing sections are run in place. Gilding can then pick out a leaf or bead, laid on a sealed ground.

Nearby in Kensington W8, we built a family room below a floating stair. Our Knightsbridge apartment is panelled and parquet floored. One team plans, protects, prices and finishes it.
