Our team of painting contractors in London recently had the privilege of undertaking a special reception-painting assignment in a busy Holborn office building. This job required meticulous planning, precise execution, and an understanding of how to work in a high-traffic area — without disrupting the office’s daily routine. Our goal was to create a refined, natural space that would attract attention yet seamlessly blend into the office environment.
The first step involved presenting several colour options in natural shades, all aligned with the overall aesthetic of the office. After thorough consultations with our client, we chose a subtle, elegant shade of Limewash paint. Limewash is known for its soft, natural finish—both visually appealing and highly practical.
Once we settled on the perfect colour, we devised a detailed work schedule. Because the reception area is such a high-traffic space, we agreed to carry out the project over the weekend, outside of standard working hours. This approach ensured minimal disturbance to the office’s normal operations.
Painting a reception area requires extra care—surfaces that must remain untouched need to be properly secured against spills or splashes. Our painters and decorators planned the timing meticulously to complete the work safely and tidily.
Our skilled decorators took every precaution, covering all areas that were not to be painted. Their experience and attention to detail ensured a smooth process and an impressive final result. The reception now boasts a natural, elegant, and welcoming look.
Working in a space that sees constant use demands the highest standards of cleanliness and precision. We place great emphasis on maintaining a tidy work environment, and our team’s skill was evident throughout this project. After completion, we left no mess behind — allowing the office to resume normal activities immediately and with zero disruption.
Although Limewash has traditionally been used on exterior surfaces for its protective qualities, it’s becoming increasingly popular indoors as well.
While white is the classic Limewash colour, modern Limewash products come in a variety of shades. Special pigments allow for a wide palette, though it’s worth noting that porous surfaces can deepen the final hue, so choosing the right shade is key.
Limewash typically needs renewing every couple of years—especially outdoors, where weathering is more intense. Indoors, where conditions are milder, the paint retains its quality for a longer period.
Our Holborn reception project exemplifies how precise workmanship and the natural appeal of Limewash can create a welcoming, sophisticated environment. Beyond just meeting aesthetic goals, Limewash provided a durable and functional solution that blended seamlessly into this bustling office setting.
