Leicester’s Feature Wall Painting Specialists
Living Room Feature Walls
Living room feature walls most commonly fall on the chimney breast. The chimney breast projects slightly from the wall surface, creating a natural boundary. Alcoves either side are usually painted in the room’s main colour.
Rich, deep colours look proportionally correct in rooms with ceiling heights above nine feet. We advise on this when visiting period properties.
Bedroom Feature Walls
Bedroom feature walls behind the bed are one of the most widely requested finishes. Darker feature colours typically require two full coats over a good primer for full opacity.
Combining a feature wall with bedroom painting for the rest of the room is the most cost-effective approach.
Dining Room Feature Walls and Specialist Finishes
Dining Room Feature Walls
Dining rooms in Victorian terraces have colour traditions beyond modern convention. Deep terracotta, forest green, and dark French blue are period-appropriate choices.
Where a dining room chimney breast is the feature wall, we assess the plasterwork condition carefully.
Limewash and Specialist Finishes
Limewash paint gives a layered, chalky effect that suits period properties particularly well. Colour washing and sponge texturing are also available.
For rooms where wallpaper is preferred over paint, see our wallpapering page.
Here’s How It Works
1. Site Visit and Colour Discussion
We visit the room, assess the light and proportions, and discuss colour options with you.
2. Surface Preparation
The feature wall is filled, sanded, and spot-primed. Cracks at chimney breast junctions are addressed.
3. Priming
A dedicated primer coat for deep colours is applied where needed.
4. Paint Application
Two full coats of the feature colour applied by roller with brush cuts at all edges.
5. Inspection
The finished wall is checked in both natural and artificial light. Touch-ups completed.
