Commercial Painters – A Bold Redesign for Enigma in Holborn
Transforming a Space Where First Impressions Matter
In the heart of Holborn – one of London’s most vibrant business districts – Enigma decided to refresh their reception, main entertainment hall, and bar.
This wasn’t just a repaint – it was a full commercial painting project designed to create atmosphere and impact.
That’s where we came in. As experienced Commercial Painters, we were entrusted with bringing warmth, energy, and artistic depth to a space where clients and guests meet every day.
Commercial Painting with Artistic Vision
Our goal was not only to repaint but to redefine the look and feel of the space.
The work was part of a series of commercial painting projects aimed at refreshing Enigma’s London offices and maintaining consistency across their commercial projects portfolio.
The palette was bold – deep reds and purples, chosen to infuse character and confidence.
We used a lime wash technique (also known as color wash), a specialty we’ve mastered over the years, creating soft gradients and layered textures that bring walls to life.
Since the space had to remain in use, the entire decorating service was delivered overnight, with full health and safety compliance, ensuring zero disruption to Enigma’s operations.
Our Approach: From Preparation to Perfection
1. Careful Protection and Planning
Before we began painting, we protected all furniture, flooring, and fixtures.
Every stage was planned in detail to guarantee a smooth, efficient workflow – something essential for commercial painting in live environments such as shopping centres or busy offices.
2. Surface Preparation
We cleaned the walls, filled imperfections, and applied a specialist primer compatible with lime paint to ensure long-lasting results and a flawless base.
3. The Lime Wash Process
The complete painting process was done by hand, layer by layer, using soft brush techniques to achieve a natural, cloud-like gradient effect.
Each layer required drying time, patience, and an eye for tone transitions.
4. Clean and Ready by Morning
Each morning, our team restored the space to perfect condition – clean, safe, and fully ready for use.
Our commitment to quality painting services meant that not a single detail was overlooked.
The Result: Bold, Elegant, and Distinctive
The outcome completely transformed the interior.
What had been a neutral environment became a vibrant, layered space filled with warmth, energy, and artistic flair.
The combination of professional decorating services and commercial painting expertise resulted in a reception and entertainment area that immediately stands out.
Enigma praised not only the visual transformation but also our flexibility, communication, and precision – all hallmarks of trusted commercial painters in London.
Long-Term Partnership and Continued Success
Following the success of this project, Enigma has continued to collaborate with IGNAS on future commercial painting projects.
We’re proud to build complete projects based on trust, professionalism, and consistent high quality.
Our ability to adapt – whether it’s working overnight, in high-traffic offices, or on industrial flooring areas – has made us a preferred partner for many clients across London and beyond.
As commercial painters, we take pride in understanding how every element – from materials to timing – affects both aesthetics and performance.
This level of insight helps us deliver lasting results that strengthen our clients’ brand image and enhance the feel of their commercial projects.
