Decorating Kensington Court Mews

Kensington Court Mews is a handsome cobbled lane set behind the Victorian mansion blocks of Kensington Court, running parallel to Kensington High Street. The mews was originally built to serve the carriage trade of the surrounding late-Victorian residential development and has been comprehensively converted into sought-after private homes. Its sheltered position within the Kensington conservation area gives it a peaceful, almost village-like character.

Kensington Court Mews properties benefit from the expertise of decorators familiar with late-Victorian detailing: original timber fascias, corbelled brickwork and ornate ironwork gates that all require specialist preparation and finishing. Exterior colour schemes must respect the conservation area context, favouring traditional oil-based paints on timber and mineral silicate paints on masonry. Interior works frequently involve large-format window reveals and elaborate ceiling roses inherited from the original mansion block era.
