Leicester Decorators are living room painters covering the full room: chimney breasts, alcoves, bay windows, skirting boards, and all period joinery. We work across Leicester, from the high-ceilinged reception rooms of Stoneygate and Knighton to Victorian terraces in Clarendon Park and family homes in Oadby.

Reception rooms in Stoneygate and Knighton Edwardian villas regularly have ceiling heights of 10–11 feet, deep plaster cornicing, and a chimney breast as the room’s focal point. Leicester Decorators understands what these rooms demand.

Leicester’s Living Room Painting Specialists
Chimney Breast and Alcove Painting
Chimney breasts and their flanking alcoves are defining features in Leicester’s period living rooms. We fill and stabilise cracks before painting.
See feature wall painting to explore colour options for your chimney breast.
Bay Window and Joinery Work
Bay windows are a feature in a significant proportion of Leicester’s Victorian and Edwardian living rooms. We sand and prime all timber before topcoats.
For open-plan spaces, see our dining room painting page.
Living Room Colour Advice and Pre-Sale Refresh
Living Room Colour Advice
Living rooms in Leicester’s period properties have complex light conditions. A south-facing Stoneygate room can carry deeper colours. A north-facing Clarendon Park terrace benefits from warmer tones.
See our interior painting page for colour schemes across your home.
Living Room Refresh Before Sale
A living room repaint before a property sale is one of the most cost-effective preparations. Buyers and estate agents notice fresh paint.
We regularly carry out pre-sale decoration across Leicester’s southern suburbs. Let us know the viewing deadline and we will plan around it.
Here’s How It Works
1. Site Visit and Assessment
We check surface condition, period features, and access requirements.
2. Surface Preparation
Walls and ceilings cleaned. Cracks at chimney breasts filled. Bay window woodwork assessed.
3. Priming
Each surface gets the right primer. Correct primer prevents patchy absorption.
4. Paint Application
Two finish coats on walls and ceiling. Woodwork receives undercoat and topcoat.
5. Inspection and Completion
Final coat inspected in good light. We walk through the finished room with you.
