Frognal forms the western slope of Hampstead Village, winding down towards Finchley Road. It is home to substantial, individual detached houses, many built in the Arts & Crafts or Queen Anne Revival style of the late 19th century. These are among the largest single-family homes in London, and their decoration is a major undertaking that requires project management as well as painting skills.
Arts & Crafts Interiors
The interiors of Frognal houses often feature extensive timber panelling, inglenook fireplaces, and leaded light windows. Restoring and maintaining these features is central to our work here. We use traditional waxes and oils for panelling, avoiding the polyurethane varnishes that deaden the look of the wood. Wall colours in these properties often lean towards the Morris & Co palette — deep natural greens, indigos, and complex reds that sit well with the timber.
High-Level Exterior Work
The exterior decoration of Frognal properties often involves complex access — steep roofs, tall chimneystacks, and gabled elevations require full scaffolding. We manage all access requirements as part of the project, ensuring safety and security for the household while work is undertaken.
