Project Overview

We were delighted when India invited us to decorate this light and airy two-bedroom property on the iconic Upper Street in Islington. Inspired by the client’s love of the sea, India brought a sense of coastal calm to the space, most notably in the principal bedroom, where walls and ceiling were limewashed in Bauwerk Water for a soft, immersive blue.

The end result is a slice of Ibiza in the heart of London - a tranquil sanctuary brought to life through the natural movement, texture and depth of limewash.

Scope of Work

We coordinated a full refurbishment of the property, including electrical works and the installation of bespoke fitted joinery.

Our work covered a complete interior redecoration, including:

  • Limewash applied throughout

  • Painting of all walls, ceilings and fixtures

  • Coordination of electricians

  • Installation of fitted joinery
