Decorating Percy Street

Percy Street is one of Fitzrovia's most characterful Georgian terraces, running west from Tottenham Court Road to Rathbone Place and long associated with the artists, writers, and bohemian figures who gave the neighbourhood its identity. The street is lined with well-preserved early-nineteenth-century brick terraces of three and four storeys, their ground floors traditionally occupied by studios, galleries, and independent restaurants. Percy Street retains a creative and independent spirit entirely in keeping with Fitzrovia's artistic heritage.

Percy Street's Georgian brick terraces present a combination of painted stucco ground floors and exposed upper brick that requires decorators to work in two distinct material zones. The creative character of the street means clients often request bolder interior colour schemes reflecting Fitzrovia's artistic traditions.
