SVC-DECO-01French wash and decorative finishes
For a wall with a little more character, a decorative finish can add depth and soft movement. French wash creates a layered, mottled appearance that changes with the light and gives a room a more individual feel.
We’ll talk through the look you want and show you sample tones before the work begins.
Where it works
- Feature walls and entry spaces
- Living and dining rooms
- Bedrooms and retreats
- Selected walls where colour and movement can become part of the room’s character
A finish shaped by hand
The effect comes from the application as much as the colour. We build the finish by hand, considering the wall, lighting and surrounding space. Samples help us agree on the direction, while the finished wall will have its own natural variation.
Common questions
What is French wash?
