Garden rooms, orangeries, and glazed extensions have become one of the most popular renovations in Hampstead NW3 — extending the living space into the garden and bringing natural light deep into period houses. Painting and finishing these structures correctly is vital for their longevity and appearance.
Exterior Timber Painting
Garden room timber frames — whether hardwood, softwood, or engineered timber — require a microporous exterior paint system. We use Teknos Futura Aqua 90 or Sikkens Cetol WP for all external timber in NW3 garden rooms, providing a flexible, breathable film that accommodates the timber's natural movement without cracking.
Interior of the Garden Room
Garden room interiors present a unique decoration challenge — they often have exposed timber rafters, concrete or tiled floors, and large glass panels that dwarf wall areas. We focus on the connecting wall to the main house and any standalone wall areas, commonly using a robust eggshell or satinwood to handle the higher humidity levels.
Connecting the Garden Room to the House
The transition between main house and garden room is a natural point to use a coordinating but contrasting colour. If the main house is in Farrow & Ball Elephant's Breath, the garden room wall might be in Farrow & Ball Mizzle — a greener, more garden-orientated shade that bridges indoors and outdoors.
