Interior repaint

Character Entry

A two-tone entry in a character home — deep, dark panelling below, soft light walls above, and an arched doorway that leaves nowhere to hide an untidy line.

The finish

Quiet work. Considered detail.

Character interiors reward patience. Panelling, mouldings and arched openings mean far more edges and profiles than a plain modern wall, and the finish is judged wherever two colours meet.

The wainscot panelling was finished in a deep, saturated tone with crisp cut lines against the pale upper walls, and the arch was traced cleanly through the curve — small details that decide whether a two-tone scheme feels considered or clumsy.

The result is an entry with real presence: dark and grounded at eye level, light and calm above, and every profile of the original joinery sharpened rather than swallowed by the paint.

01

Two-tone discipline

The scheme lives or dies on the line where dark meets light — held crisp across panels, rails and the arch.

02

Detail-heavy surfaces

Panelling and mouldings mean many more edges than a flat wall, each prepared and finished properly.

03

Character respected

The original joinery profiles read more sharply after the repaint, not less.
