Decorating Eccleston Mews

Eccleston Mews is a handsome cobbled mews street tucked behind Eccleston Square in Belgravia, originally built in the early nineteenth century as coach houses and stabling for the grand Cubitt-developed townhouses of the surrounding estate. The mews has been comprehensively converted into elegant private residences while retaining the characteristic low-rise scale and paved courtyard character typical of Belgravia's hidden lanes. Many properties feature original carriage arch openings, slate roofs, and painted stucco or brick elevations.

Mews properties in Eccleston Mews present a combination of painted stucco facades, exposed brick, and timber garage doors, each requiring a carefully considered paint system to withstand the sheltered but sometimes damp mews environment. The Belgravia Conservation Area designation demands that exterior colour schemes complement the surrounding estate palette of whites, creams, and off-whites.
