Canterbury’s Dining Room Painting Specialists
Georgian and Victorian Dining Rooms
These spaces have original timber joinery, dado rails, picture rails, cornicing, and sometimes full-height panelling. We work in the correct sequence.
Our interior painting service covers the full room in a single coordinated visit.
Lime Plaster Walls
Canterbury Decorators stabilise lime plaster walls with a breathable primer before any topcoat. Where cracks have been incorrectly repaired, we remove and refill with compatible material.
Colour Choices
We include colour conversation as part of the site visit. We advise on period-appropriate palettes from Farrow & Ball and Little Greene.
Open-Plan Kitchen-Diners
Many Canterbury Victorian terraces have been extended to create open-plan kitchen-diners. We assess the whole room before quoting. See our kitchen cabinet painting page.
