Interior Decorating
Our interior decorating service revitalises residential spaces with tailored paint schemes and decorative finishes. Covering single rooms to complete properties, we combine technical expertise with creative vision to deliver flawless results. Clients benefit from our extensive experience in modern and traditional techniques while enjoying minimal disruption during the transformation process.
Hand Painted Kitchens
Specialist kitchen unit painting preserves existing cabinetry while delivering contemporary updates. Using premium materials and meticulous preparation, we achieve durable, showroom-quality finishes that enhance property value. Our process includes surface assessment, colour matching, and protective coatings to ensure lasting results that exceed client expectations.
Plaster Effects
Bespoke plaster finishes create luxurious wall surfaces with polished or metallic effects. These specialist techniques add depth and sophistication to both modern and period properties. Our skilled team applies traditional methods with modern materials to achieve durable, visually striking results that transform interior spaces.
Colour Consultations
Complimentary colour consultations guide clients through paint selection and finish options. We provide physical samples and digital visualisations to aid decision-making, considering natural light and interior architecture. This service ensures cohesive colour schemes that enhance spatial perception and create desired atmospheres.
Custom Murals
Hand-painted murals transform plain walls into artistic focal points with bespoke designs. From children's room themes to architectural illusions, our artists create unique compositions tailored to client preferences. We use durable, washable materials that maintain vibrancy while complementing existing interior decor schemes.

Positive:Professionalism
A great experience with calm proficient individuals who fit the category of painters and decorators - these are certainly not toshers who throw paint about and leave grubby marks everywhere for one to clear up. We will certainly use them again.

Calico Painters and Decorators were highly professional, always punctual and left everything clean and tidy at the end of each working day. They were efficient and stayed within the expected time quoted and the price. They offered good advice and were helpful when one or two changes were made. I am looking forward to them returning to continue with other areas of decorating in the house as soon as possible!

Calico Decorating to me is all about being in safe hands. A wonderful group of ladies, who all have their specialities and skills. From the interior design aspects, dustless sanding, selection of colours and attention to detail, I would highly recommend Calico Decorating for all aspects of painting and wallpapering.
