Canterbury’s Feature Wall Specialists
Chimney Breast Feature Walls
The chimney breast is the most natural feature wall in a Victorian or Georgian Canterbury property. Deep navy, forest green, charcoal, or period terracotta are popular choices.
Canterbury Decorators work in the correct sequence: full room preparation first, feature wall colour second.
Dark and Bold Accent Walls
Dark colours amplify every surface imperfection. Canterbury Decorators fill and sand more thoroughly on walls receiving a dark feature colour.
Our living room painting page covers the full room.
Bedroom and Dining Room
Feature walls work well in bedrooms behind the bed and in dining rooms on the chimney breast.
Listed Buildings
Interior paint colours in listed buildings are generally not subject to consent. We advise on period-appropriate choices as part of the site visit.


Our Feature Wall Painting Process
1. Site Visit
We view the wall, discuss colour and finish, and advise on preparation.
2. Surface Preparation
The feature wall is filled and sanded more thoroughly than a standard repaint.
3. Priming
Lime plaster walls receive a breathable primer. New plaster gets a sealing coat.
4. Masking
Adjacent walls, skirting boards, and ceiling masked cleanly.
5. Colour Application
Feature wall colour applied in two coats for full coverage.
6. Surrounding Walls
Rest of the room painted. Lines checked when dry.
7. Final Inspection
We inspect the finished room in good light.
