Dalston E8, bordering Islington, shares much of the same high-quality Victorian housing stock but with a different energy. The renovation work here is often bolder and more design-led.
Bare Plaster and Tonal Schemes
A popular aesthetic in Dalston renovations is the 'unfinished' or raw look — sealing bare plaster walls, using exposed brick, or using limewash paints that give a textured, cloudy finish. We are experts in applying these specialist finishes, which require a different application technique to standard emulsion.
Dark and Moody Interiors
We see a lot of dark interiors in Dalston — entire rooms painted in charcoal, black, or deep navy, including the ceiling. This creates a dramatic, cocoon-like atmosphere that works brilliantly for evening entertaining. Achieving a good finish with these dark colours requires skill to avoid patching and roller marks.
