Our luxury paint finishes can create the sensuality, richness, and sheer indulgence of the Hollywood, Art Deco and Jazz Age interiors with the shimmer and bling of silver and chrome.
Faux finishes create the effect of precious materials
As specialist decorators we can recreate the appearance of rare materials like tortoiseshell and ivory, which today are rightly protected.
Painted stone effects
Through our luxury paint finishes we can hint at a whole range of substances scarce in large amounts, including amber and rare marbles like Portoro or Derbyshire Blue John.
Gilding and painted metal effects
As specialist decorators we also provide gilding in silver and the most precious covering of all–24 carat gold in all its veracity–for furniture, artifacts, and even walls. Painted metallic effects also include bronze, copper, verdigris, and chrome.
Fine wood-grained finishes and luxurious lacquers
Using traditional wood graining techniques, we can imitate precious woods increasingly subject to protection, such as teaks, mahoganies and restricted timbers like ebony and macassar. Wood graining also affords the look of precious, sought-after cuts of timber such as burrs, flames, and feathers. Similarly, exuberant, expensive cuts such as quarter or crotch are brought within reach. The look of fine inlay and marquetry can also be rendered through decorative painting.
Also available in our portfolio of luxury paint finishes is the glamorous look of lacquer for walls and furniture.
