Feature wall ideas we create
- Bold colour: one deep or bright wall that anchors the room
- Metallic finishes: layered metallic effects that catch the light
- Panelled feature walls: shaker, box or wainscot panelling, painted
- Limewash: soft, cloudy, hand-brushed texture
- Murals: statement scenes for living rooms, bedrooms and businesses

Preparation decides the finish
A feature wall gets looked at more closely than any other wall in the room, so every crack and patch shows. We fill, sand and prime the wall first, and use stain-blocking primer when covering a dark or patchy colour. In the mural above, the wall was stripped and repaired before any finish went on.
Changing a feature wall back
Tastes change. Going from a dark feature wall back to a light neutral needs the right primer and usually an extra coat, otherwise the old colour shows through. We price that properly up front.

Which wall should be the feature wall?
Usually the wall your eye goes to first when you walk in: behind the sofa, the bed or a fireplace. We'll advise during your free colour consultation.
Can you paint a dark feature wall back to a light colour?
Yes. Going from dark to light usually needs a stain-blocking or high-opacity primer and an extra coat, which we include in your quote so the old colour doesn't grin through.
