Feature walls
N3 Finchley

Three bedrooms, three distinct feature walls.

A three-bedroom redecoration with a different graphic feature wall for each room. Sharp geometry, deep sages, considered lines.

Scope

Each bedroom got its own treatment. A deep sage with a sharp diagonal in the principal, a softer scheme with a triangular block on a feature wall in the second, and a quieter colour-blocked panel in the third.

The work

What was done.

The tape lines did most of the heavy lifting. We laid them out with a long spirit level and a chalk line, burnished every edge by hand, and pulled the tape while the second coat was still slightly wet so the edge releases cleanly.

The detail

How it was made.

A clean angular edge is mostly preparation. Once the tape is down properly, the painting itself is straightforward. Get the tape wrong and no amount of careful brushwork will save it.
