Bloomsbury Painters & Decorators
The buildings behind the brief.
The garden-square terrace is one part of Bloomsbury's residential fabric. Former houses used as offices or small hotels, mansion blocks, converted flats and mews each bring different responsibilities and working arrangements. These guides connect that building context to the decisions involved in a repaint.

Garden-square terraces
The garden square gives a terrace a setting, but the individual house gives a decorating commission its detail. Bloomsbury's Georgian and early nineteenth-century terraces call for a measured approach to colour, preparation and the relationship between adjoining frontages.

A townhouse can retain its domestic proportions long after its rooms become places to work. Repainting needs to respect that character while accommodating desks, meeting schedules, secure information and the routes staff use between floors.
View the details 03Small hotels & B&B terraces
A small hotel terrace brings several decorating briefs under one roof. Guest rooms need a dependable finish reference; halls and stairs remain in use; the frontage has its own architectural and access considerations. Each part needs an appropriate place in the programme.
View the details 04Mansion blocks & converted flats
A flat's decorative boundaries do not necessarily coincide with the surfaces seen from inside it. Windows, entrance doors and shared stairs need a clear instruction, whether the home sits in a mansion block or within an older townhouse conversion.
View the details 05Mews houses
Behind the principal terraces, a mews presents a smaller scale of rooms and frontage. Its decorating brief should begin with the particular home: the retained timber, the way daylight reaches the interior and the space available for preparation and access.
