Decorating Newman Street

Newman Street runs north from Oxford Street through the heart of Fitzrovia, a street with a long and distinguished artistic history — it was home to numerous painters and sculptors from the Georgian era through to the twentieth century, and today remains a hub of creative studios, galleries, and media companies interspersed with Georgian-era terraced houses. The street presents a varied streetscape of original Georgian brick fronts, later Victorian commercial infill, and some twentieth-century insertions, all within the context of the Fitzrovia Conservation Area. At its southern end, the proximity to Oxford Street brings considerable footfall, while the northern stretch retains a quieter residential character.

The varied building ages and uses along Newman Street mean decorating projects range from sensitive exterior repainting of original Georgian brick and stucco to the fit-out of contemporary studio and office spaces within older shells. Residential and commercial clients alike value precise preparation and high-quality finishes, and the street's creative heritage means bespoke and artistic decorating schemes are particularly appreciated.
