West End Painting and Decorating
Glasgow's West End is a vibrant, historic district known for its diverse architecture, blending Victorian tenements, Edwardian townhouses, and modern flats.
Painting and decorating in this area is often guided by a need to respect the heritage of the buildings while catering to contemporary tastes.
Many of the West End's tenements and townhouses are crafted from blonde or red sandstone, with detailed cornices, bay windows, and occasionally, intricate ironwork.
Exterior Painting
For exteriors, we often work within conservation guidelines, using traditional colours that harmonise with the natural tones of the stone, while carefully restoring woodwork, railings, and sash window frames to preserve the inherent architectural charm.
Interior Painting
Interiors in the West End commonly feature high ceilings, detailed plasterwork, and large sash windows, providing an ideal canvas for sophisticated colour schemes.
Heritage colours, such as deep greens, rich blues, and soft creams, are often used to accentuate period details like ceiling roses and cornicing, creating a timeless look.
Many customers also opt for wallpapers with classic patterns, adding texture and depth to the space.
In newer properties, customers have more freedom to use bold colours, minimalist designs, or feature walls, creating modern, personalised spaces.
The West End's blend of historic and contemporary styles allows for creativity, making each project unique to the building and its character.
