Loft conversions are one of the most popular home improvements in Kentish Town NW5, adding valuable bedroom, bathroom, or study space to Victorian terraces without the need for an extension. Once the builders have finished, the right decorating scheme transforms a new loft room from a construction site into a beautiful living space.
Colour Choices for Sloped Ceilings
The angled ceilings in loft conversions create interesting but challenging spaces to decorate. Painting the sloped ceiling the same colour as the walls — a single, enveloping colour — makes the room feel larger and more cohesive. Light, warm colours like Farrow & Ball Skimming Stone or Little Greene Loft White work beautifully in NW5 loft rooms, reflecting light from the Velux windows to every corner.
Velux Window Surrounds
The plasterboard reveals around Velux windows deserve careful decoration. We cut in precisely around the window frame, ensuring clean lines. Painting the reveals in a lighter shade than the walls creates a funnelling effect that draws light into the room — a particularly effective technique in north-facing loft conversions on streets like Grafton Terrace and Torriano Avenue.
En-Suite Bathroom Painting
Many NW5 loft conversions include a compact en-suite bathroom. These small, often windowless spaces benefit from light colours and moisture-resistant paint — Dulux Trade Bathroom+ or Farrow & Ball Modern Emulsion (with built-in mould inhibitor) are our standard specifications. A single bold accent colour on one wall prevents the space from feeling bland.
